What Elowen remembers

Memory can keep useful facts across conversations, such as your preferences, decisions, or project details. It is not a transcript, and recall is not guaranteed: Elowen searches for relevant memories, and results depend on your settings and available search setup. Personal memory belongs to your account. A configured shared Project pool is available only to eligible members working in that Project.

Distinguish facts from procedures

1. Save lasting facts and decisions as memories; use a skill for instructions you want Elowen to reuse as a procedure.
2. Open the Memory workspace at /memory to search and inspect saved entries. You can also use supported memory tools in an authorized Elowen session.
3. Check the category and Project scope before relying on a result. A Project-bound category is recalled only in that Project; uncategorized memories are not recalled.

Check and correct memory

4. When a fact changes, update the memory rather than adding a contradictory version. Merge duplicates when appropriate. Deleted entries go to trash and can be restored; permanent removal cannot be undone.
5. Verify important details against current files, settings, or other sources before acting on them. Memory may be incomplete or out of date.

Control what is saved

6. Under Account → Memory, review automatic memory search and Auto-save. Auto-save is off by default; when enabled, a background pass may add, revise, merge, or delete memories.
7. Do not save passwords, API keys, tokens, or other secrets. Memory is not an access-control system. For retention, shared Project memory, and the available controls, see Memory & Embeddings.
