Can I see what my AI companion remembers about me?

Yes. Open the companion's chat settings, then Memory. Review saved items, add Custom Memory, use Correct or confirm Forget. Chat history is the separate transcript of messages.

Does memory carry over between different characters?

Saved notes belong to your account and that companion. Another character does not automatically inherit them.

Why did my companion forget something I mentioned?

Capture may be unavailable, off, pending or unsuccessful, and later replies only use selected relevant context. Review Memory and add or correct an important detail rather than assuming every message was stored.

Is companion memory the same as a saved chat log?

No. Saved memory is selective; the visible transcript contains your messages. Forget stops earlier model context but does not delete the visible chat transcript or promise removal from provider logs and backups.

How AI Companion Memory Works

Updated 2026-10-30

Companion memory is a selective set of saved facts for your account and one character. It is different from the visible chat transcript. Open the companion's chat settings, then Memory, to review Custom Memory, Auto Memory and any older unverified items. Add a custom detail, use Correct to update an item, or choose Forget and confirm.

Automatic extraction must be available on the server and enabled for that companion. It uses attributable conversation evidence rather than treating every assistant line or fictional scene as a fact about your life. A finished conversation does not prove every detail was saved. Manual addition and correction remain available when automatic extraction is unavailable.

Forget stops earlier chat context from being used for later model replies; it does not delete the visible chat transcript. Other saved memories remain. A correction also excludes earlier context that could reintroduce the old value. Neither operation is a promise of retroactive removal from provider logs or backups.

Try a Companion With Memory

Review the facts for this companion

In chat settings, open Memory. Custom Memory contains details you added or confirmed; Auto Memory contains automatically saved items when the feature is available and enabled. Older unverified entries are labelled separately rather than silently trusted. Another character does not automatically receive this companion's notes.

Add or correct a detail

Under Custom Memory, choose Add a memory, write the detail and save it. For an existing item, choose Correct, review the text and save. An older unverified item can be corrected to confirm it. If a control reports a conflict or failed save, reload the controls and check the list before assuming the change succeeded. These are existing controls, not a new conversation mode.

Forget is different from deleting messages

Choose Forget on an item and confirm. Forget stops earlier chat context from being used for later replies, including older context that could reintroduce the forgotten detail. It does not delete the visible chat transcript, and other independently saved memories remain. Clear chat is a separate action for messages. See the Privacy Notice for data handling; this guide does not promise erasure from provider logs or backups.

When automatic memory is off or unavailable

Check the automatic-memory setting and any availability notice in Auto Memory. Turning automatic capture off does not itself delete existing saved items. The panel can report pending, retrying or failed processing; refresh to check its current state. Important details can be added manually. No pending work is not a guarantee that every message became memory.

A practical correction example

Suppose a saved note says an old nickname. Find the note, choose Correct and save the current nickname, then review the list. This is an illustrative instruction, not a recorded test conversation. Correcting one item is not a guarantee of perfect recall, and unpersisted details available only in older context may need to be added again.

Scope checked — 25 October 2026

This guide was checked against the existing Memory controls and sourced-memory rules. It describes available controls and their limits, not a recall benchmark, an automatic-memory availability promise or a retention schedule. It does not change chat settings or the underlying memory system.
