Teach your Talent about your work

Write personal memory, capture it from a private chat, pin what should ride along every turn, and stay under the 50 page owner ceiling.

Stop re-explaining your job at the start of every conversation. Personal memory is the set of durable facts your Talent carries into your work, and only you can see it.

Write a memory

Open Memory in the sidebar. You start on the You tab.
Click Add to memory, then Write a memory.
Type one declarative sentence, up to 200 characters. Save.

One fact per memory. "The weekly Novabrief report is built from the Google Sheets tracker, never the HubSpot export" is a memory. A three paragraph brief is not.

Add one fact: Friday campaign reports use the approved tracker and need a three-bullet executive summary. The next time you ask for that report, your Talent can apply the source and format without asking again. If the rule becomes team-wide, propose it to department memory instead of keeping it personal.

Facts group themselves into sections such as How you work, People, Projects, Documents and Decisions. Anything that does not classify cleanly stays visible under Other rather than being filed somewhere wrong.

Let your Talent capture it

You can also just say it in a private conversation: web chat, a Slack DM, Telegram or iMessage.

Remember that Novabrief's weekly report goes out Friday morning, and that Priya reviews it before it ships.

When your Talent saves something, a short note appears beside its reply and the new fact shows up under Recent on your Memory page.

Your Talent never captures memory from a Slack channel, a private group, a group DM or a Routine run. In a channel you spoke to an audience, not to your Talent. Capturing nothing from a conversation is the normal result, not a failure. If a fact matters, write it on the Memory page instead of hoping it was picked up.

Pin what must always apply

Open a section, hover a fact, and pin it. Pinned facts are considered on every turn. Unpinned facts are pulled in when the conversation actually relates to them.

Pin standing rules: your timezone, your reporting format, the one client whose rules differ. Do not pin everything. Pins share the same budget as everything else your Talent recalls, so a wall of pins crowds out the fact the current turn needed.

Facts about a colleague

Ask your Talent to remember something about a named teammate and it files that fact under that person's identity, so it still surfaces after they change their display name. A name that matches nobody in the workspace still saves, unkeyed, which is what you want for a client or a contractor. A name that matches two people is refused and your Talent asks which one you meant.

That note is still yours alone. The person it is about cannot read it, and your Talent never repeats it as if it were their own words.

Recent is not memory

Recent shows short lived notes about what you have been doing lately. They fade on their own. They are not durable facts and are not a change log. If something in Recent should stick, write it as a memory.

You can hold 50 active personal memory pages, counted for you across every personal memory domain, not per section or surface. At the ceiling nothing new saves. The bell tells you: "Memory is full. Your Talent stopped saving new memory at 50 of 50 pages. Archive or forget one to make room." That notice clears itself the moment you free a slot, so you cannot dismiss your way past a full pool.

What to check

A memory would not save. You are at 50. Archive a fact you no longer need, or use Forget to remove it permanently, then save again.
Nothing was captured from your chat. Check it was a one to one conversation, not a channel or group. Then write the fact yourself.
A saved fact is wrong. Open the section, click the pencil on the row and correct it. Editing creates a new version and keeps the old one in history.
Your Talent keeps using an old fact. Editing supersedes, it does not delete. Archive or forget the stale row so it stops being recalled.
