NewMemory & PersonalisationCapabilities

An agent that grows with you

The more you use it, the better it knows how you work: your sources, your corrections, the way you cite.

How memory works

Learns as you work

Preferences you state are kept as short notes.

You set the basics

Instructions, madhhab, level and answer style.

Trusted books first

Trusted books are cited first, avoided ones last.

Yours to manage

Mute, edit or delete notes kept on your computer.

What you set yourself

Some things the agent doesn’t have to learn. You set them once in Settings › Personalisation.

What gets saved, and when

Each kind is saved for a different reason and used in a different way.

KindSaved whenHow it’s used
PreferenceYou tell the agent how you want it to work: citation style, which works to consult, how much to explain.Followed in every chat. One per topic, so a new one replaces the old.
CorrectionYou correct a fact, a reference or a conclusion.Saved at once, so the same mistake isn’t repeated.
Book you trust or avoidYou say a book is reliable, or one to avoid.Trusted books come first. An avoided book is used only when nothing else covers the point, and the answer says so.
Note on a pageYou point out a misprint, a wrong page number or a weak narration.Shown with that page whenever a later search finds it.
Not savedOne-off requests, such as making this answer shorter.—

Set what a search puts first

Your library holds the sections, books and era the agent prefers. Nothing is hidden from the search.

Principles

The agent does

  • Ask before changing your profile or a book you marked
  • Mark what it filled in itself as Learned
  • Stop learning when you switch Learning off

The agent doesn’t

  • Let a note override citations or your search scope
  • Use a note you muted
  • Keep your questions or answers as memory

FAQ

Does Memory change which books can be searched?

Library preferences can affect which sources come first. Search Scope still sets which Shamela books the agent can search.

When does Your library suggest something?

When the same section, book or era is in the search scope of at least 3 chats within 60 days, or when you often open and save a book in Shamela. A suggestion you dismiss isn’t offered again.

How is this different from project memory?

Personal memory is about how you work and applies across your chats. Project memory holds a project’s aims, decisions and conclusions, and stays inside that project.

Can I erase what it learned?

Yes. In Settings › Personalisation, Clear what it learned removes the books, notes and facts it learned. Erase all personalisation also removes your instructions and profile.

Does it work with every AI provider?

Yes. Memory is kept on your computer and added to each question, whichever provider you choose.
