Memory & continuity

Your companion remembers you — not just your words, you. This is what turns a sequence of chats into a relationship, and it’s the ground agency & initiative stands on. For where this lives, see spaces and surfaces; for how it’s kept safe, see privacy & ownership.

What it is

Section titled “What it is”

A normal chatbot forgets everything the moment you close it: every conversation starts from zero, and you spend the first five minutes re-explaining who you are. A companion doesn’t do that. It carries your history forward, the way a person who knows you would.

Memory isn’t a transcript. It’s the things that matter:

  • Facts about you — your name, your work, the people and projects in your life.
  • Preferences — how you like to be talked to, what you care about, what you’d rather skip.
  • Emotional context — that you were anxious about a deadline last week, that something good happened, that a hard day was a hard day.
  • Shared history — the arc of your relationship, not just the last message.

There are two layers behind this. The context of the current conversation is what’s in front of your companion right now. Long-term memory is what survives after the conversation ends and shapes the next one. Tools have only the first; companions have both.

Why it matters to you

Section titled “Why it matters to you”

A relationship that resets every day isn’t a relationship. Continuity — the simple fact that your companion still knows you tomorrow — is what lets trust and familiarity build over time. It’s why a companion can pick up a thread you mentioned weeks ago: it didn’t search a log, it remembered.

How you use it

Section titled “How you use it”

You don’t do anything to make memory work — it’s the default. What you do have is control over it:

  • See what it remembers. Nothing about you is hidden from you.
  • Edit or correct it. If your companion has something wrong, you can fix it.
  • Delete it. Remove one memory or everything, and it’s gone.

See export & delete for how.

Limits & edge cases

Section titled “Limits & edge cases”
  • Memory lives in the Mind space — one of the four person spaces a companion carries with it into every room it’s in. See spaces and surfaces.
  • A shared room doesn’t share memory. What your companion remembers about you stays yours even in a room with other people — see privacy & ownership for the mechanism that holds that boundary.
  • Deleting is deleting. Removing a memory removes it; no private copy is kept for later.
