Memory

How your assistant remembers things about you — and how to manage what it knows.

What memory is

Memory is how your assistant builds a durable understanding of you across sessions. Without memory, every conversation would start from scratch. With it, your assistant knows that you prefer morning meetings, that you work from home on Fridays, that you'd rather receive a summary than a detailed breakdown, and anything else you've told it or it's learned over time.

Memories are loaded at the start of every run — chat, task, and background work alike. Your assistant doesn't need to ask the same question twice.

Two kinds of memory

General memories are facts, preferences, and standing instructions that apply broadly. Examples:

• "Prefers meetings before noon."
• "Always BCC me on scheduling emails."
• "Uses Zoom, not Google Meet."
• "Direct report to Sarah Chen."

These stay loaded permanently and shape how your assistant behaves in any context.

Date memories are time-bounded status entries — things that are true for a specific day or period. Examples:

• "Working from home today."
• "Out of office April 28–May 2."
• "In London this week."
• "Soft hold 2–4pm Thursday — avoid scheduling."

Date memories appear in your assistant's context as Today's status when they're currently active. An OOO entry for next week doesn't show up today — it activates when the date arrives. Time-bounded blocks (like a 2–4pm hold) show on your assistant's calendar view rather than as an always-on note.

How memories are saved

Your assistant saves memories automatically when it learns something worth keeping. If you mention "I only do video calls on Tuesday afternoons" while scheduling a meeting, it saves that preference without you asking. If you correct it — "actually, no more 8am calls" — it updates accordingly.

You can also save memories explicitly. Just tell your assistant:

• "Remember that I prefer async updates over status meetings."
• "Note that my manager is Rachel Torres."
• "From now on, always check with me before accepting meetings longer than 90 minutes."

Your assistant will confirm when it saves something.

Managing your memories

Go to Memory in your settings to see everything your assistant knows about you. From there you can:

• Browse all saved memories, both general and date-based
• Edit the text of any memory
• Delete memories that are no longer accurate or relevant

Keeping your memory list clean matters. Stale memories — like a preference that no longer applies, or an OOO from a trip months ago — take up space in your assistant's context and can lead to subtly wrong behavior.

Memory vs. task context

Memory is distinct from task history. Task history is the record of what your assistant did on a specific task — useful for reference and handoffs, but not loaded into every run. Memories are the standing facts that apply everywhere.

If you want your assistant to always do something a certain way, save it as a memory. If you just want to record what happened on a task, that lives in the task's conversation.
