Follow a saved detail into a new conversation

The lesson shows the saved entries, question and Arya answers before and after a workshop time changed. Use it to understand the save, check and edit workflow.

Manual memory and automatic learning

Add, review and edit memories with your account. Plus adds automatic learning from conversations. Chat access and credits follow the model you choose.

Choose account or collection context

Normal chats outside a collection can use account memories. In a collection, Account mode can use both account and collection memories; Collection-only mode uses that collection’s memories; Off disables memory there. Memories learned in a collection belong to it. Only relevant context within the available budget is included.

Use temporary-chat personalization deliberately

Temporary chats do not create memories. By default they also ignore existing memories and collection instructions. Turn temporary-chat personalization on to let them read existing context while still keeping new memories off.

When a saved detail is missing from an answer

Saved memory is reusable context between chats. Relevance, available context and model behavior affect which details reach an answer. Check the entry and settings, and include a critical constraint in your current prompt when it matters.

Save explicitly or learn from conversations

Use Add a Memory for an explicit save, or ask Gab AI to remember a useful detail and confirm the new entry in your list. Automatic learning can add or consolidate useful context over time; it does not save every sentence or run on a guaranteed overnight schedule.

Edit a fact, stop using it or remove it

Use the entry’s actions to change stale wording or delete the item. Turn memory use off to keep entries saved without using them. Turn learning off to stop automatic additions. When correcting a fact, check related entries and Memory overview for conflicts. Earlier chats and requests already sent to providers are separate records.

What is shared with the selected provider

Relevant memories can be included in requests sent through Gab AI to the selected model provider. Read the privacy policy and provider terms before saving sensitive information. Removing a memory does not erase information already sent in an earlier request.

Bring over useful context from another assistant

Review the context you want to keep, shorten it to a useful memory and add it manually. Confirm the saved entry before relying on it. Importing a chat and saving another product’s memories are separate operations.

If a memory will not save or is not used

For a save error, check sign-in, the displayed length limit and the error message. For a missing or stale detail, check memory use, the saved wording, collection mode and temporary-chat personalization. Review conflicting entries and Memory overview, or put the needed context directly in the current prompt.

Does turning learning off erase memories?

No. Learning, saved-memory use and deletion are separate controls. Use the appropriate action for the change you intend.

Can memory reproduce an entire old chat?

Do not rely on it for exact transcripts or complete documents. Open the original conversation or supply the source you need.

Does deleting memory erase everything a provider received?

No. Removing a saved entry is separate from earlier chats and previously sent requests. Review the relevant privacy and retention terms.
