AI Memory

Teach Gab AI to remember your preferences and personalize responses.

How AI Memory Works

By default, every AI conversation starts fresh. The AI doesn't remember what you discussed yesterday, what your job is, or how you like your answers formatted. You have to re-explain everything each time — which gets tedious fast. AI Memory changes this. When you save a memory, Gab AI stores that piece of information and automatically includes it as context in your future conversations. It's like giving the AI a notebook about you that it reads before every chat. Memories are separate from individual conversations. They persist across all your chats and agents, creating a personalized experience that gets better the more you use it.

Memory vs. conversation history

Conversation history is limited to a single chat session. Memory persists across all sessions. Think of conversation history as short-term memory and AI Memory as long-term memory.

What Should You Save to Memory?

Not everything belongs in memory. The most effective memories are facts, preferences, and context that you'd otherwise need to repeat in multiple conversations. Here's what works best:

How Memory Improves Your Experience

The compounding effect of saved memories is significant. Here's what changes when the AI knows your context:

Managing Your Memories

AI Memory isn't a "set it and forget it" system. As your work, preferences, and projects evolve, your memories should too. Gab AI gives you full control over what's stored.

Quality over quantity

Having 5-10 highly relevant memories is more effective than having 50 vague ones. Each memory competes for the AI's attention in your context window, so keep them focused and up to date.

Privacy and Your Memories

Your AI memories are private to your account. They are not shared with other users, used to train AI models, or accessible to anyone but you. You have complete control over what information is stored and can delete any or all memories at any time.

Be thoughtful about sensitive data

While your memories are private and secure, it's best practice to avoid saving highly sensitive personal information like passwords, financial account numbers, or government IDs. Save the kind of context that helps the AI assist you — not data that could be risky if exposed.

Memory vs. conversation history

Conversation history is limited to a single chat session. Memory persists across all sessions. Think of conversation history as short-term memory and AI Memory as long-term memory.

  1. Communication Preferences — How do you like your answers? Concise bullet points? Detailed explanations? Formal or casual tone? Saving these preferences means every response is automatically formatted the way you want.
  2. Professional Context — Your job title, industry, company size, tech stack, or area of expertise. This helps the AI calibrate its responses — a software engineer and a marketing manager need very different explanations of the same topic.
  3. Recurring Projects and Goals — If you're working on a specific project over weeks or months, save the key details. The AI can then reference your project context without you needing to re-explain it every session.
  4. Personal Preferences and Constraints — Dietary restrictions for recipe requests, preferred programming languages, writing style guidelines, or any other personal details that affect the kind of help you need.
  1. View Your Memories — Browse all your saved memories in one place. See exactly what the AI knows about you and how it's using that information to personalize responses.
  2. Edit Existing Memories — Changed your tech stack? Updated your writing style? Edit a memory rather than creating a new one. This prevents conflicting instructions that could confuse the AI.
  3. Delete Outdated Memories — Finished a project? Changed roles? Remove memories that are no longer relevant. Keeping your memory list clean ensures the AI focuses on current, accurate context.
