What Secretary remembers about you

Read, edit and add to your memory in Account Settings, pause it, or clear it.

Step 1

Your memory

The Memory card in Account Settings holds what Secretary knows about your work, so you stop repeating yourself. It is only used in chats that are yours alone, never in a chat you share or work on together with others, and nobody else can read it, admins included.

Step 4

Saved notes

Single facts worth keeping. Each says whether Secretary saved it or you added it, and when. From chat opens the chat it came from. You can keep up to 50; once memory is full, Add stays greyed out and a line under it says to delete a note first. If the card cannot be loaded, it says Your memory could not be loaded. with Try again.
