How memory works
Deep Recall turns useful information into memories, then makes those memories available to your connected assistants.
Save, process, recall
Section titled “Save, process, recall”A save starts a processing job. Deep Recall extracts useful statements, identifies related context, and reconciles them with existing memories. It can add a memory, update an existing unpinned memory, or decide that nothing new needs to be stored.
A queued acknowledgement confirms that processing started. It does not confirm that a memory is ready for recall. See save and verify for the agent contract.
Three kinds of memory
Section titled “Three kinds of memory”| Kind | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Fact | A current state, preference, or durable belief | “I prefer quiet restaurants.” |
| Episode | Something that happened | “We reviewed the launch plan last Tuesday.” |
| Foresight | A future plan, commitment, or open action | “I still need to book the venue for November.” |
A tentative plan stays tentative. Named people, places, projects, and other subjects can connect memories in Explore.
Dates have different jobs
Section titled “Dates have different jobs”Learned date records when Deep Recall received the information. Event dates describe when something happens. A future event can be recalled immediately; its start date is not a delay on visibility.
An expiration date describes when a memory stops being current. Include real dates and temporary scope in your message, such as “For the October trip…” rather than asking your assistant to invent timestamp fields.
Updates and pins
Section titled “Updates and pins”Related information may reconcile into an updated memory. Pinning protects a memory from automatic replacement by agent ingestion. It does not prevent you from archiving or deleting it, and it does not turn uncertain information into a fact.
To correct something, state the accurate replacement clearly and review the result. Check that related older context is no longer being used.
Sources and answers
Section titled “Sources and answers”A memory can carry saver attribution, learning time, and links to documents or email. Inspect those sources when accuracy matters.
Find retrieves memories. Ask produces an answer grounded in retrieved memories with citations. Neither should be treated as proof that a missing fact was never saved. Try a more specific query and check the app.
