# Memory System

### What is Memory?

Memories are how your AI companion remembers important details about you. When you share personal information, your companion saves it and references it in future chats, making conversations feel more personal and meaningful.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Major Memory Upgrade — Now Live**

We’ve massively improved the memory system. Key improvements:

* **Smart Mode:** Your companion now has an assistant that searches through memories and past conversations to pull in the right context before every reply. You’ll see a "thinking..." indicator while this happens. Toggle it on or off per chat in Chat Settings — on by default.
* **Enhanced long-term recall:** Companions can now recall topics and details from much further back in your conversation history, not just recent messages.
* **Better group chat continuity:** Companions have improved memory of what’s happened throughout group conversations.
  {% endhint %}

### How Memories Work

#### Automatic Memory Saving

When you share personal information, your companion automatically saves it in the background:

1. **You Share Info**: Tell your companion something about yourself
2. **Automatic Detection**: Companion detects important information
3. **Memory Saved**: Information is saved to your memory profile
4. **Future Reference**: Companion references it in future conversations

#### What Gets Saved

*Note: Your companion will only save information that you share in-chat. It will not pull data from anywhere else.*

**Personal Information**

* Age, location, occupation
* Family details, relationship status
* Education, background

### Talking to Your Companion About Memories

You can interact with your companion's memory system naturally through conversation. Here's how:

***

#### Searching Memories

Ask your companion what they remember about you:

> **You:** "Do you remember what I do for work?"
>
> **Companion:** "Yes! You mentioned you're a software engineer at a startup. You said you really enjoy the creative problem-solving aspect of it."

> **You:** "What do you know about my family?"
>
> **Companion:** "I remember you have a younger brother named Jake who's 25, and your mom lives in Seattle. You mentioned you try to visit her once a month."

***

#### Adding New Memories

Tell your companion to remember something specific:

> **You:** "Add a memory that my favorite coffee order is an oat milk latte with vanilla."
>
> **Companion:** "Got it! I've saved that your go-to coffee order is an oat milk latte with vanilla. I'll remember that! ☕"

> **You:** "Remember that I'm allergic to shellfish."
>
> **Companion:** "I've made a note of your shellfish allergy. Thanks for letting me know—that's important!"

> **You:** "I want you to remember that Fridays are my work-from-home days."
>
> **Companion:** "Saved! Fridays = WFH days for you. I'll keep that in mind when we chat."

***

#### Updating Existing Memories

Correct outdated information naturally:

> **You:** "Actually, I got promoted last week. I'm a senior engineer now."
>
> **Companion:** "Congratulations! 🎉 I've updated my memory—you're now a senior engineer. That's awesome!"

> **You:** "Update the memory about my brother—he just turned 26."
>
> **Companion:** "Updated! Jake is now 26. Time flies!"

> **You:** "I moved to Austin, so update my location."
>
> **Companion:** "Got it! I've updated your location from Portland to Austin. How are you liking Texas so far?"

| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search memories** | "Do you remember...", "What do you know about...", "Did I tell you about..."             |
| **Add a memory**    | "Remember that...", "Add a memory about...", "I want you to remember...", "Save this..." |
| **Update a memory** | "Actually...", "Update the memory about...", "I changed my...", "Correct the memory..."  |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** You don't need special commands—just talk naturally! Your companion understands context. Saying "Actually, I'm 30 now" will update your age without needing to say "update memory."
