Memor.pt is a Portuguese platform that explores the digital memory of Portugal, using archived historical data to create interactive and educational experiences.

Main Goals

• Provide access to archived web content from Arquivo.pt (Portugal’s national web archive), enabling users to explore the country’s social, political, cultural, and economic evolution.

• Deliver interactive features such as quizzes, daily articles, and a conversational AI trained on historical sources.

• Organize content into meaningful themes such as housing, democracy (e.g., April 25th Revolution), labor market, digital media, Portuguese culture, and more.

Key Features

1. Conversational AI (RAG-based)
   The system uses Retrieval Augmented Generation to answer user questions by combining AI with historical documents stored in the archive.

2. Quizzes / Knowledge Games
   A gamified approach to test historical knowledge and engage users in a fun and educational way.

3. Daily Article
   A short highlight featuring historical curiosities or significant events, extracted from archived content.
