Memory
Memory
Bots remember what matters between conversations, and you can read, download or delete anything they keep.
What a bot remembers
Each bot writes notes as it works: your preferences, facts about the job, what it tried. Its notes are
indexed in a file called MEMORY.md. When a bot's notes outgrow what it keeps in mind at once, it
keeps MEMORY.md and a list of its other notes, and opens the rest when it needs them.
You can also just tell it: "remember that invoices go to the finance folder".
To see what a bot remembers, click its name at the top of the chat and open Memory under
Advanced. Open a note to Edit, Download or Delete it. MEMORY.md itself can be
edited but not deleted.
Long chats
A bot keeps the recent part of its chat in view and searches older messages when it needs them. Anything it must always follow belongs in its instructions; facts it must not lose belong in memory. Ask "remember that…" when something matters.
Shared memory
Some things every bot should know, such as your name, your company, or how you like reports written. Those go in Shared memory: every bot in the space reads these notes and keeps them up to date.
Find it in Settings → Memory on web, desktop, and mobile. Open a note to read it, then choose Edit to change it, Download to keep a copy, or Delete to remove it from shared memory.
In a team space, memory is per person: your shared memory and what a shared bot remembers about you are yours, and teammates have their own. See What's shared in a team space.
Knowledge sources
Connect Google Drive first. Then, in a chat you started, ask a bot to learn a Drive folder by sending its link or ID, and approve the request in the card it shows. Documents stay in Drive, where Opisense keeps only their titles and folder paths; bots check each document's current version when they read it, and report deleted or unshared ones as gone. Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, plain text and PDF files up to 25 MB can be read (PDFs up to 500 pages), but Word files cannot yet.
Sources are listed under Settings → Memory → Sources (swipe a source on iOS to remove it), and only the person who added a source, or a team's owners and admins, can remove it.
Warning
In a space with other members, everyone in it can get answers from a source, read through the Drive account of the person who added it. That includes documents they couldn't open in Drive themselves. Add only folders everyone in the space may read. If that person leaves the space, the source stops working until someone adds it again.
Memory providers
Optionally, connect a memory service so bots can also recall facts by meaning, not just by reading their notes. In Settings → Memory, open Memory provider:
- Supermemory: its cloud service, or your own instance.
- Serenity: choose Recall and write, or Recall only to keep it read-only.
- Honcho: recalls from a Honcho peer and saves facts to it.
Once connected, Default sharing decides what bots share in the provider:
- Separate per bot: each bot recalls only what it saved. This is the default.
- Shared in this space: bots in the space recall from one pool.
Each bot's settings also gain a Memory scope under Advanced, next to Computer, so one bot can differ from the default. Default sharing applies only to the provider; shared memory notes stay shared.
To stop using the provider, open Memory provider and choose Disconnect….
Open work
Separate from memory, each bot keeps a short list of Open work: things it has started and not finished. It is in the bot's settings. You can add items for it, or mark them complete.
Memory across spaces
Memory never crosses spaces. A bot in one space can't read notes from another.
