 ## Features
 
 - **Local Mem0 server** — No cloud dependency, full data privacy
-- **Same-turn prefetch** — Memory retrieved synchronously before the LLM call (~40ms)
+- **Async prefetch** — Memory retrieval happens in background (~40ms)
 - **Context injection** — Relevant memories injected directly into LLM prompt
 - **Automatic fact extraction** — Server-side LLM extracts facts from conversations
 - **Semantic search** — Find memories by meaning, not keywords

 ### How It Works
 
-1. **User message received** → `prefetch()` searches Mem0 synchronously (~40ms)
+1. **User message received** → `queue_prefetch()` spawns background thread
-2. **Context injection** → Results injected before the LLM call
+2. **Mem0 search** → Semantic search for relevant memories (~40ms)
-3. **LLM receives** → User message + memory context (no tool call needed!)
+3. **Context injection** → Results injected via `pre_llm_call` hook
