Memory Overview

Memory captures your role, preferences, and environment from conversations to personalize responses over time.

Before you begin

• Sign in to EtherAssist.
• Decide whether you want future responses to use remembered preferences.
• Do not save passwords, secrets, private tokens, full customer records, or short-lived incident details.

How it works

1. Auto-capture - EtherAssist identifies facts and preferences from your conversations
2. Suggested - Captured memories appear as suggestions for your review
3. Active - Approved memories are used in future responses
4. Manual - You can add memories directly for precise control

Not captured: Passwords, PII, full conversation content, temporary queries.

Memory types

Example

Without memory:

"Create a script to list inactive users" → Generic script

With memory (knows you use Azure AD, prefer PS7):

Same question → Azure AD-specific PS7 script with your preferred error handling

Privacy

• User-scoped - Only you can see your memories
• Encrypted - Stored securely at rest and in transit
• Not shared - Admins cannot view memory content
• Exportable - Download as JSON or CSV anytime

Admins can set org-wide retention policies but cannot read your memories.

Where memory is used

• ✅ Chat Mode, Agent Mode, Compare Mode, API
• ❌ Public shared conversations, other users' queries

Enable memory

1. Go to Settings → Profile → Memory
2. Toggle "Capture preferences and facts" to ON
3. Use EtherAssist naturally - memory captures relevant context
4. Review suggested memories periodically

Tips

• Keep memories concise and stable.
• Use manual memories for important preferences that should apply consistently.
• Review suggested memories before they influence future responses.
