Memory
Your assistant remembers your preferences and important facts across workflow runs. When you tell it something once, it remembers — so you don’t have to repeat yourself.
How it works
When you tell your assistant something like “always include weather in my briefings,” it stores that as a memory. The next time the relevant workflow runs, your assistant has access to that memory and acts on it.
Types of memories
Global memories
These apply to everything your assistant does, across all workflows.
Examples:
- “I prefer bullet points over paragraphs”
- “Always use formal greetings in emails”
- “My work hours are 9 AM to 6 PM Pacific”
- “My manager’s name is Sarah and her email is sarah@company.com”
Per-workflow memories
These apply to a specific workflow only. Your assistant is smart enough to figure out which workflow a memory belongs to based on context.
Examples:
- “Include San Francisco weather in my morning briefings” — applies to Morning Briefing
- “Always CC my assistant on scheduling replies” — applies to Auto-schedule
- “Don’t draft replies to recruiter emails” — applies to Auto-draft
Adding memories
Just tell your assistant — from any channel:
- “Remember to always include the weather in my briefings”
- “From now on, keep Friday afternoons free for focus time”
- “When drafting emails, always sign off with just my first name”
Your assistant decides whether the memory should be global or workflow-specific based on what you said.
Viewing and managing memories
In the web app
- Go to Settings then Profile
- View all stored memories
- Delete any you no longer want
By asking your assistant
- “What memories do you have stored?”
- “Forget the preference about Friday afternoons”
- “What do you remember about my scheduling preferences?”
How workflows use memories
When a workflow runs, it automatically receives:
- All global memories
- Any memories specific to that workflow
Your assistant incorporates these memories into its behavior — so if you’ve told it “don’t draft replies to recruiters,” the Auto-draft workflow will respect that without you needing to modify the workflow’s instructions.
Tips
Be specific. “I like short emails” is good. “Be better at emails” is too vague to be useful.
Review periodically. Over time, some memories may become outdated. Check your stored memories occasionally and clean up anything that’s no longer relevant.
Use memories instead of editing instructions. If you want to adjust a workflow’s behavior without changing its configuration, just tell your assistant what to remember. It’s often easier than editing the workflow directly.
