Memory lets Babbily carry useful context from one chat to the next. You can save preferences, work context, recurring projects, and other details you do not want to repeat. This gives recurring work a consistent starting point without re-entering the same setup in every chat.

Memory examples

See what to save to memory, what to keep in the current chat, and what to avoid saving.

​
When to use memory

Use memory for context that should help future chats, such as:
  • Your role, team, or company.
  • Projects you are actively working on.
  • Preferred tone, format, or units.
  • Reusable work preferences.
  • People, products, or accounts that come up often.
For one-time context, keep it in the current message instead of saving it.

​
Memory and workspaces

Memory follows the workspace where a chat was created:
  • Your Personal workspace uses your personal saved memory and Memory Profile.
  • Each team workspace keeps a separate team-workspace memory context.
  • Team-workspace memories do not change or expose your personal Memory Profile.
By default, your memory inside a team workspace stays private to you. A team owner can turn Shared team memory on from Settings > Team. When it is on, useful facts from team-workspace chats can be added to shared context that current members can use in team chats. Authors and the team owner can delete eligible shared entries. Turning Shared team memory off stops new additions; it does not mean existing shared context is copied into anyone’s personal Memory Profile.

​
Project memory

Each Project can keep a separate memory container for chats in that project. Project memory replaces personal or team-workspace memory for those chats instead of combining the scopes. Personal Projects start with project memory on. Team Projects start with it off, and the team owner decides whether to enable one shared project memory for current members. Project memories are not copied into your personal Memory Profile.

Projects

Learn who can enable project memory, use it, and remove eligible items.
Shared team memory is meant for context every current team member is allowed to use. Keep secrets and information that is not approved for team-wide access out of team chats.

​
Add a memory

The fastest way to save context is to ask in chat:
You can also type /remember in the composer, listed as Remember in the command suggestions, followed by the fact you want saved. Or use the memory box in Settings > Memory. If Babbily shows Remember unavailable, the message explains why: With memory enabled, Babbily may also save useful, non-sensitive context from ordinary conversation. Sensitive personal facts need an explicit request and must be relevant when used. Secrets such as passwords and private keys are not appropriate to save. Check the memory status beneath the reply or in settings. A conversational acknowledgment alone is not confirmation that a memory was saved. A failed or unavailable save may need another attempt. If Babbily says memory is temporarily unavailable, wait a moment and try again. Contact support if it continues.

​
Update memory from settings

Open Settings > Memory and type an instruction in the box labeled Tell Babbily what to remember or forget…, then select Update memory.
  • Use your language. The box understands English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. Babbily saves the fact in the language you used.
  • Name one item to forget. Each instruction forgets at most one saved item, so say exactly what to remove. “Forget that” isn’t enough.
  • Leave secrets out. Babbily refuses instructions that mention a password, PIN, API key, card number, or ID number, even if the secret itself isn’t included.
  • Edit and try again. If Babbily can’t act on an instruction, it stays in the box so you can edit it.

​
Review your Memory Profile

Open Settings > Memory to see your personal Memory Profile. Babbily organizes saved context into sections such as work context, personal context, top-of-mind items, recent context, and long-term background. The profile can change as you add, update, or remove context. Its purpose is to make memory readable so you can understand what Babbily may use.

​
Review older saved memories

If Settings > Memory shows Needs review, those older items are excluded from memory used in replies until you approve them.
  • Choose Approve to keep an item, or select the trash icon next to it to forget it.
  • Use Approve all or Forget all for the items awaiting review, and read the confirmation before removing them.
  • Approval can take time to become available for recall. Check the result message; some items may remain unapproved or need another review.
Review the contents before approving. Bulk approval does not make secrets safe to store.

​
Memory citations

When Babbily saves or updates memory from a chat, replies may show a memory citation. A citation gives you a short explanation of what changed. In Settings > Memory, expand the memory citations list to review saved sources. The list heading shows a count, such as 3 memory citations. Select the trash icon next to an eligible item to remove it.

​
Forget or delete memory

You can remove saved context in these ways:
  • Say what to forget in chat, or type /forget-memory in the composer, listed as Forget memory in the command suggestions.
  • Type a forget instruction in the box in Settings > Memory. Name the exact item; each instruction forgets at most one saved item.
  • Select the trash icon next to an eligible citation in Settings > Memory.
After a confirmed removal, Babbily stops using the item as saved memory. This does not delete the original conversation: the same information may remain in the current thread or eligible past-chat results. Review or delete the original chat separately if you also want to remove that history. If a source cannot be deleted from the page, contact support for help removing account-level memory.
Do not save passwords, API keys, verification codes, payment cards, or other secrets in memory. Babbily is designed to avoid saving sensitive items, but you should still keep secrets out of chat.

​
Refer to past chats

When an earlier discussion matters, ask a specific question in Auto tool mode:
Past-chat lookup requires memory to be on and a model that supports memory. It looks within your eligible chat history for the current workspace or personal project. It does not search every chat in your account or other people’s private conversations. Past-chat lookup is unavailable in Manual or Off tool mode, Temporary Chat, Translate, unattended Scheduled Tasks, team projects, and chats that are publicly or directly shared. A personal project also needs project memory enabled. Some chats started with outside source context may be ineligible. Search results can be incomplete. An empty result does not prove that a conversation never happened. Open Library to find the chat yourself if needed. Historical messages may be outdated; use them as a record of what was discussed, not proof that a fact is still current.

​
Turn memory on or off

Open Settings > Profile to find the memory preference. When memory is on, Babbily uses your Memory Profile for new replies when the selected model and account state support memory. When memory is off, Babbily does not use saved profile memory to personalize new replies. You can turn it back on when you want Babbily to use your saved context again.
Memory works best for stable preferences. If a detail is temporary, mention it in the current chat instead of saving it.
