# Check that it works

> One question that shows whether an assistant reaches your memex.

Page: https://docs.memex.tools/check-connection

In a new chat, ask:

> Can you reach my memex? Tell me in a sentence what memex is.

An assistant that reached memex answers from it.

## See when it last called in

In memex, **Settings › Assistants** lists every connection, with **Last used** for each one.
