Memory

Chalie remembers what you tell it

One of Chalie’s most useful qualities is that it builds 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 — and you don’t have to manage it. A background pass quietly turns what you say into memory moments after you say it, so you never have to repeat yourself.

Getting started:

• “My Wi-Fi password is sunset2024” — mention it once, and it’s there the next time you need it.
• “My partner’s name is Alex and their birthday is March 12th.”
• “I’m lactose intolerant” — bring it up naturally, and it’s factored in next time food comes up.

What Chalie remembers

Memory is most useful for facts that would otherwise require repetition. You don’t need to flag any of it — Chalie picks up what’s worth keeping from ordinary conversation:

• 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

At the start of a conversation, Chalie automatically recalls whatever’s relevant before it replies — and it can look things up again mid-conversation whenever something you say calls for it. You don’t need to re-explain things you’ve already told it.

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

Remembered moments work the same way, but by situation rather than exact wording. Mention once that you keep having to make an extra trip to the shop because the list you were given was incomplete, and later, just saying you’re heading out shopping is enough to bring that moment back — Chalie matches the situation, not the sentence.

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

You don’t need to issue a formal correction — just say what’s changed, in conversation, and moments later the background pass reconciles it: an old fact is replaced outright rather than left to contradict the new one.

• “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, say so in conversation — no separate delete command needed:

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

How memory is stored

Chalie keeps two kinds of memory. Facts are durable and specific — your name, a preference, an address — and saving a new value replaces the old one outright, so nothing lingers to contradict it. Remembered moments are more like a diary: a compact note about something that happened or was decided, kept for as long as it stays relevant and naturally superseded once a later moment builds on it. Each one is tagged with the kind of situation it belongs to, so it resurfaces when you’re in a similar moment rather than only when you use the same words — and whenever it comes back, it arrives with a short note on where it came from.

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

Keeping memory tidy

You don’t have to manage this yourself. Once a day, Chalie quietly reviews what it has learned — merging duplicate facts, folding related memories together, and letting go of anything no longer useful. The goal is a memory that stays sharp and relevant instead of cluttered with near-duplicates, so recall stays fast and accurate as your history with Chalie grows.
