Memory works best when it captures stable context you want Babbily to reuse across chats. Use this guide to decide what belongs in memory and how to phrase it.

​
Good memory examples

​
Keep this in the current chat

Some details are useful once but should not become long-term memory. Examples:
  • A one-time deadline.
  • A temporary draft direction.
  • A single customer’s private details.
  • A file-specific instruction.
  • A preference that only applies to this project phase.

​
Do not save sensitive information

Do not ask Babbily to remember:
  • Passwords.
  • Verification codes.
  • API keys.
  • Private keys.
  • Payment card numbers.
  • Government identifiers.
  • Raw connected-app credentials.
  • Confidential details you are not allowed to use in Babbily.
In Settings > Memory, Babbily refuses instructions that mention a password, PIN, API key, card number, or ID number, even when the secret itself isn’t included. You see “Memory can’t store credentials or identity secrets.”
Memory is designed for useful context, not secrets. Keep sensitive information out of chat and memory.

​
Update memory when context changes

When a preference or project changes, say so directly.
You can also type the same kind of instruction in the Tell Babbily what to remember or forget… box in Settings > Memory. Write it in English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, or Japanese; Babbily saves the fact in the language you used.
The same page lets you review your Memory Profile and remove eligible memory citations.

​
Ask Babbily what it remembers

Use Settings > Memory to review your personal Memory Profile, citations, and any items marked Needs review. Project memory is reviewed in its project. You can also ask in chat:
If something is outdated, ask Babbily to forget it:
Name the exact item you want removed. A vague request such as “forget that” isn’t enough for Babbily to know which item you mean. In Settings > Memory, each instruction forgets at most one saved item. Wait for confirmation that a save or removal succeeded. Forgetting a memory does not delete the chat where you originally shared it. See memory removal and history.

​
Memory quality checklist

Before saving something, ask:
  • Will this still be true in future chats?
  • Would this improve many replies, not just one?
  • Is it safe to reuse?
  • Is it phrased clearly?
  • Would I be comfortable seeing it in Settings > Memory?
