When memory is on, PrivateMind remembers durable facts you share in your conversations and uses them in later chats, so you don't have to repeat yourself. Tell it once that you work on credit-risk models or prefer short answers, and it carries that forward. Everything it remembers is private to you, drawn only from your own messages, and yours to delete at any time.
Memory is off by default. Nothing is stored until you turn it on.
Turning memory on
Memory takes two switches: your organisation enables it, then you opt in.
- Your administrator enables Memory for your organisation.
- You turn it on for yourself at Settings → Memory, with the Enable memory toggle.
If the toggle is greyed out with "Memory is turned off for your organization," your org hasn't enabled it yet. Ask your administrator.
What gets remembered
PrivateMind only forms memories from your own messages, never from the assistant's replies or from documents and web pages it reads. After a conversation, it looks for durable facts worth keeping, such as:
- Facts — "Works on credit-risk models", "Company fiscal year ends in March"
- Preferences — "Prefers concise answers", "Wants code examples in TypeScript"
Passing details and one-off questions aren't stored. When a fact changes, a newer one replaces the old, so your memory stays current rather than piling up contradictions.
How it shows up in chat
Recall is mostly silent. When you start a chat, the assistant already has the facts relevant to it and just uses them. Occasionally you'll see a Recalling memory step in the conversation when it looks something up specifically. To check what it knows, you can simply ask in any chat: "What do you know about me?"
Managing your memories
Open Settings → Memory to see everything stored under Stored Memories. Each entry shows the fact, a small tag for its type, and a link back to the conversation it came from with the date it was saved. Use Refresh to pull the latest.
To remove a single memory, click the trash icon on its row. It's gone immediately.
Deleting everything
The Danger Zone at the bottom of the page has Delete All, which permanently removes every stored memory after a confirmation.
Turning memory off
Flip the Enable memory toggle off at Settings → Memory. PrivateMind stops forming new memories. Anything already stored stays until you delete it, so switch off and Delete All if you want a clean slate.
Where next
- Chat: the conversation surface where memory is used.
- Conversation history: find, rename, and manage past chats.
- Account settings: the rest of your personal settings.
