Memories let the assistant carry useful facts across conversations — your role, a recurring project, a preference you’ve stated — instead of you repeating yourself every time. Memories are personal: only you see your own.
Memories is an optional organization feature. If you don’t see Memories in your sidebar or in Settings, ask your administrator.

​
How Memories Get Created

The assistant can save a memory on its own when something worth remembering comes up in a conversation — for example, “the client’s name is Acme Corp” or “I prefer bullet points over long paragraphs.” You can also add one yourself.
1

Open Memories

Go to Customize or your sidebar and open Memories to see everything currently saved.
2

Add one manually

Click Create Memory, then fill in a Key and a Value — for example, key preferred_language, value French.

​
Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Memories

Every saved memory appears in the Memories view with its key and value. From there you can:
  • Edit an existing memory’s value
  • Delete a memory you no longer want kept
  • Filter the list to find a specific memory
Memory keys must use lowercase letters and underscores only (for example favorite_tools, not Favorite Tools).

​
Scoping Memory to a Project

By default, memories apply across all your conversations (User scope). If Projects is enabled for your organization, you can instead scope a memory to This project, so it only applies while you’re working inside that project.

​
Storage Limits

Your organization sets a total size for your saved memories (a token and character budget). If you’re near the limit, WonkaChat tells you when creating or updating a memory would exceed it — delete something you no longer need to make room.

​
Turning Memories Off

If you’d rather the assistant not use what it has saved, go to Settings → Memories and turn off Reference saved memories. This stops the assistant from using your saved memories in its responses without deleting them.
Your administrator can also disable memory creation, reading, updating, or opting out entirely at the organization level. If any of these controls are missing for you, that’s likely why.

​
For Admins

Organization owners control memory permissions from Settings → Organization: allow creating, reading, and updating memories, and whether users are allowed to opt out. Memories can be disabled for the whole organization at any time.
