How to use AI memory and check what it remembers

See an edited memory used in a new chat

A workshop time changed from 09:15 to 10:30. The saved entry was edited between two new Arya chats; the question stayed the same and did not repeat the time. Compare the actual answers below.

1For the Cedar workshop, the start time is 09:15.

1Using my saved note about the Cedar workshop, state its start time. Mark anything else you do not know.

3The start time for the Cedar workshop is 09:15.

Everything else is unknown.

3Start time: 10:30.

All other details regarding the Cedar workshop are unknown.

Check the changed detail

The second answer uses 10:30, and both answers leave other workshop details unknown. When you try a disposable example, check it against the saved entry and remove that entry when finished.

Choose something worth remembering

Start with a preference you often repeat, such as answer length or writing style. Open Memory, review the entries already there and choose one useful addition. Use the controls guide if you need help with account access or memory settings.

Watch a saved preference shape a dinner request

The tutorial saves a vegetarian, family-of-four preference, then opens a new chat for dinner ideas. Use it to follow the workflow; your own saved context depends on the settings described in Docs.

Tired of repeating yourself? Tell Gab AI something once, and it remembers it in every chat. Open Settings and choose Memory. This is where you can see what Gab AI remembers about you. Select Add a Memory, and write something that matters. I'm vegetarian, and I cook for a family of four on weeknights. Now start a new chat and ask for dinner ideas. Gab AI already knows, so every idea is vegetarian and sized for four. Gab AI also learns from your chats over time. You can review, edit, or delete any memory in Settings whenever you like. Now Gab AI can remember what matters to you.

This tutorial shows a saved food preference used in a new chat. Memory use, collection scope and temporary-chat personalization determine when saved context is available.

How to make AI remember a useful preference

Open Memory, select Add a Memory and enter the preference below or one of your own. Save it and confirm the wording in your list. This writing exercise is separate from the actual workshop answers above.

1I prefer concise answers with three bullet points and one practical next step.

Try the preference in a new chat

Check that Use memories in conversations is enabled. Start a normal chat outside a collection and ask the first task below without repeating the preference. Look for three bullets and one practical next step, then check for invented details.

1Help me plan a short weekly project update for my team.

Change this answer or update future conversations

Send the follow-up below in the same chat for a one-off change. To change a lasting preference, edit its entry in Memory, confirm the saved wording and check it in a new chat. Editing memory does not change earlier answers.

1Make the next step a single action I can finish today. Keep the answer to three bullet points.

How AI memory works alongside history and instructions

Saved memory supplies reusable context. Chat history supplies the earlier turns of that conversation, and custom instructions guide how the assistant responds. Include exact source text and today’s task in the current prompt.

Keep the context you want to reuse

Keep a useful preference, edit stale wording and remove disposable practice entries. Turning learning off stops automatic learning; turning memory use off stops saved context being used. See Docs for collection, temporary-chat and deletion details.
