Your coworker keeps notes between tasks, so you don’t explain the same thing twice. You can read every one of them, and change any of them.

​
What it does

Correct your coworker once — “shorter, and lead with the recommendation” — and it writes that down. Next task, it does it that way without being told. That’s the whole feature. It’s also the thing that makes a coworker feel different from a chatbot after a fortnight: it has actually learned how you work.

​
The four kinds of note

Open the coworker’s Memory tab and each note is one of these.
Four memory notes labelled About you, How you like things, About the work and Useful pointers

Four notes, one of each kind. Nothing is remembered about you that you can't read.

Each is short and separate on purpose. Small notes are easy to read, easy to correct, and easy to delete when they stop being true.

​
Reading and editing them

Everything is visible. Nothing is remembered about you that you can’t read. You can edit a note that’s drifted, or delete one that’s wrong. Deleting is genuinely useful — a note saying you prefer something you’ve stopped preferring will keep shaping the work until you remove it.
Read the memory tab once a month. It takes two minutes and it’s the fastest way to understand why a coworker behaves the way it does. A surprising note is usually the explanation for a habit you’d been quietly correcting.

​
Telling it to remember

You don’t have to wait for it to notice. “Remember that I always want the figures in euros” works, and lands as a note. Equally, “forget what you know about the pricing structure, it changed” clears the stale one.

​
What memory isn’t

The line: instructions are what you told it, memory is what it learned. If you find yourself editing memory a lot to force a behaviour, that behaviour belongs in the instructions.

​
Good to know

Memory belongs to one coworker. Two coworkers build separate pictures of you, which is usually right — your analyst and your assistant need to know different things.
Memory doesn’t carry when you save a coworker as a template. A fresh hire builds its own — see Retiring, re-hiring and templates.
Memory survives a new task and a compacted conversation. It’s the one thing that persists across everything.

​
Common questions

No. It keeps things that look durable — a preference, a constraint, a fact about the work. The detail of one conversation stays in that conversation.
Delete the note. You can also just say “don’t remember that”.
Check the Memory tab — often there’s an older note pulling the other way. Deleting the stale one usually fixes it in one go.
Memory belongs to the coworker, so anyone using that coworker benefits from it. Keep genuinely personal material out, and give yourself your own coworker if you need to.
Yes — memory notes turn up as proposals on the Improvements tab for your approval. See Skills that improve themselves.
