# Memory

> Control the context Babbily can remember and reuse across chats.

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.

  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.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## Add a memory

The fastest way to save context is to ask in chat:

```text theme={null}
Remember that I prefer direct answers with a short summary at the end.
```

You can also add memory from **Settings > Memory** by using the memory instruction field.

## 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.

## 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**, you can expand **Show Me All Memory Citations** to review saved sources and remove eligible items.

## Forget or delete memory

You can remove saved context in two ways:

* Say what to forget in chat or in **Settings > Memory**.
* Delete an eligible citation from the Memory page.

Deleted memory stops affecting future replies. If a source cannot be deleted from the page, contact support for help removing account-level memory.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## Turn memory on or off

Profile settings include a 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.

<Tip>
  Memory works best for stable preferences. If a detail is temporary, mention it in the current chat instead of saving it.
