# Memory

> What Kairo remembers, where, who it's used for, and how to correct it.

Source: https://docs.coline.app/kairo/memory

Kairo remembers what people say that isn't written down anywhere else: decisions, owners, dates, conventions, preferences and corrections. Docs, tasks, mail, calendar and code aren't copied into memory; Kairo reads them live, with your permissions, when it needs them.

## Where memory lives

Every note belongs to a place, and is only used in answers that the people who can see that place will read.

| Memory                      | Holds                                                                                           | Used in                             |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **About you**               | Facts and preferences about you. These follow your account between workspaces                   | Answers only you see                |
| **You in this workspace**   | What Kairo learns about your work in this workspace                                             | Answers only you see                |
| **Team notes**              | Workspace-wide decisions and conventions, from public channels and "remember this for the team" | Answers for anyone in the workspace |
| **Channel and group notes** | What a channel or group DM decided and how it works                                             | That conversation                   |
| **Shared channel notes**    | What a [Connect](/connect) channel decided. People from the other company can read these        | That shared channel only            |
| **Crew notebooks**          | A crew member's notes: what's ongoing, decisions, preferences and how things work               | That crew member's work             |
| **Goal notes**              | What helpers learned while working on a goal                                                    | Later helpers on the same goal      |

## How Kairo remembers

* **When you ask:** "remember this about me", "remember this for the team", or "remember that…" in any conversation. Kairo saves it right away.
* **On its own:** where learning is on, Kairo saves decisions, owners and dates once a conversation goes quiet, and facts it finds while reading files and repositories.
* **Tidying:** in quiet periods, Kairo merges duplicates and updates facts that changed. Every change shows in **Recent changes**, and undo puts the lines back.

Content from guests, people at other companies, email, the web and other agents doesn't become memory on its own.

## Turning learning on and off

* **Your memory:** Kairo → Customize → **Memory** has **Learn from my chats with Kairo** and **Learn from my personal workspace**. Shared workspaces never add to your About you notes.
* **A conversation:** its settings have **Learn from this conversation**. When it's off, Kairo only saves what people ask it to remember.
* **The workspace:** admins choose whether Kairo learns from conversations in **Settings → Memory**.

## Viewing and correcting

Open any memory to read it, search it, or add a note yourself. For each line you can:

* **Correct** it. The old line stays in history.
* **Forget** it. Kairo won't save it again.
* **Move to team memory**, for a personal note the whole team should know.
