Memory lets an Agent remember durable facts and learnings about you across conversations with that Agent — so you don't have to repeat context every time you come back.
What it is
When Memory is on, an Agent can retain small, durable facts about you (preferences, ongoing projects, how you like answers formatted) and reuse them in later conversations with the same Agent. Memory is scoped per Agent — one Agent's memories are never shared with another.
Personal vs shared memories
Every memory is tagged either only you or shared:
- Personal ("only you") — saved silently as you chat; visible only to you.
- Shared — visible to everyone who uses that Agent. Because a shared memory affects other people, saving one requires an in-chat confirmation. A card appears asking "Remember this for everyone using this assistant?" with three choices:
- Confirm — save it as a shared memory.
- Save for me only — downgrade it to a personal memory.
- Discard — don't save it.
If a proposed memory is flagged by the prompt-injection guard, it isn't stored and you'll see "Memory not saved — flagged as unsafe."
When it's active
Memory is off for:
- Public Agents (Agents that can be embedded externally),
- anonymous users, and
- incognito conversations (see Chat).
In your Private Space, every memory is personal — sharing is meaningless there, so the shared-memory confirmation doesn't appear.
Turning it on or off
Memory is controlled per Agent by the Memory toggle under Agent Settings → Settings → Agent Capabilities (see Agents). It's on by default and unavailable for public Agents (the toggle is disabled with the tooltip "Memory is not available for public agents").
Turning the toggle off later stops new memories from being saved but keeps any existing memories — they persist until deleted.
Managing your memories
You manage what Agents remember about you from the Memory section in Personal Settings (My Account) — see Profile. Facts are grouped by Agent, and you can:
- delete an individual memory,
- Clear agent memories — remove everything one Agent remembers about you, or
- Clear all memories — remove every memory across all Agents.
Privacy & safety
- Memories are per-user — one person's memories are never exposed to another (except deliberately shared ones, which apply to everyone using that Agent).
- Every candidate memory is screened before storage and rejected if flagged unsafe.
- Memories are kept out of telemetry.
- Memory is disabled in incognito conversations and for public Agents and anonymous users.
