Memory

With an account, Oyster can remember useful things from your conversations — facts about your environment, preferences, decisions, instructions — and recall them in later answers. Memory belongs to a project and is visible only to you.

Settings

Open Settings (the wheel in the sidebar footer):

Setting	What it does
Use long-term memory	Recalls your memories in answers. Off means none are used.
Automatically save useful memories	Saves facts and preferences from chats without asking.
Ask before saving	Holds new memories for your review instead of saving them straight away.

Manage your memories

Manage memories in Settings opens your memories in three tabs:

• Active — what Oyster currently recalls. Edit or delete any of them.
• Review — memories waiting for your approval, when Ask before saving is on. Approve or reject each.
• Conflicts — memories that contradict each other. Keep the right one.

Export JSON downloads all of them.

What is protected

• Memory content is encrypted at rest.
• Credentials, card numbers and similar secrets are blocked from being saved as memories, whatever the conversation contained.
• When a memory is updated, the old version is kept on record rather than silently overwritten, and contradictions are shown to you, never resolved behind your back.

Delete

• Delete single memories in Manage memories.
• Delete my memories in Settings erases all of them.
• Deleting your account erases them too. See Data and privacy.
