An AI assistant that remembers, with a memory you can read

What does a bot remember?

• Facts about you. Your time zone, your company name, the people you work with.
• How you like things. "Short replies", "dates as 29 Oct", "always attach the PDF".
• Decisions. "We pay suppliers on the 15th", "the new price list starts in November".
• Where things are. The folder your invoices go in, the sheet your sales live in.

It keeps facts, not transcripts: a dated line per fact, with repeats left out.

How does memory work?

1. Tell the bot something worth keeping, or ask it to "remember that…". It saves a short dated line.
2. When a fact changes, it updates the line; when you say "forget that", it removes it.
3. When you move on to a new chat, the bot is asked quietly what from the last one is worth keeping.
4. Every new chat starts with the bot's memory, so a fresh conversation still knows you.

Where can I see and edit it?

In the bot's settings and in the side panel next to the chat. It's one plain note: read it, fix a line, add something yourself, or clear it. On Telegram, /memory shows it. Changes apply at once, without restarting anything.

Bots each have their own memory, so your accounting bot doesn't carry your recruiter bot's notes. Memory is separate from a bot's instructions (what you tell it to do, set by you) and its skills (tasks it knows how to do, see teach mode).

Is my memory private?

It's stored on your computer in the bot's own folder. It reaches the bot's AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI and so on) only as part of what the bot sends while it works, as when you tell that AI something yourself. There's no AppuBot server holding it.

Nothing is remembered in secret: if it is in memory, you can read it. And memory belongs to the bot, not the AI, so it stays when you move the bot to another agent or model.

Memory, instructions and skills: what goes where?

A good rule: if you'd tell a new colleague on day one, put it in instructions. If they'd pick it up over the first month, let it go into memory.

• Instructions are the rules you set for the bot: its job, its tone, what it must never do. You write them in the bot's settings.
• Memory is what the bot learns as it works: facts, preferences and decisions. It writes them, and you can edit them.
• Skills are how-tos for specific tasks, made by showing it once in teach mode or by asking it to save one.
• Chats are the conversations themselves. Memory is what survives from them when you start a new one.
