Memory

Chalie remembers what you tell it

One of Chalie’s most useful qualities is that it can build up a persistent picture of you across conversations. Unlike a typical chatbot that forgets everything when the session ends, Chalie maintains memory that carries forward.

Getting started:

• “Remember that my Wi-Fi password is sunset2024.”
• “My partner’s name is Alex and their birthday is March 12th.”
• “I’m lactose intolerant — remember that when I ask about food.”

What to store in memory

Memory is most useful for facts that would otherwise require repetition:

• Personal details — your name, location, preferences, dietary restrictions
• Account info — usernames, account numbers, frequently used addresses
• People in your life — names, relationships, important dates
• Preferences — how you like things done (“always give me the short version”, “I prefer metric units”)
• Work context — your job title, your company name, your team’s names

How Chalie uses memory

When you start a conversation, Chalie automatically retrieves relevant memories based on context. You don’t need to re-explain things you’ve already told it.

For example: if you’ve told Chalie you live in Glasgow and you ask “what’s the weather today?”, it knows to fetch Glasgow’s weather without you saying the city.

Recalling memories

Ask Chalie what it remembers:

• “What do you know about me?”
• “What have I told you about my work?”
• “Do you remember my partner’s birthday?”

Updating and correcting

Memory can be updated:

• “Actually, we moved — our new address is 42 Oak Street.”
• “I’ve stopped drinking coffee — update that.”
• “My doctor has changed. The new one is Dr. Patel.”

Deleting memories

If you want Chalie to forget something:

• “Forget my old phone number.”
• “Delete everything you know about my previous job.”

Memory layers

Chalie organises memory in layers — working memory for the current session, episode-level recall for past conversations, and long-term facts that persist indefinitely. The system automatically decides how long to retain different kinds of information based on how significant they are.

All memory data is stored locally on your device and never shared with external services.
