Watch your AI learn you today, then forget you overnight.
Global memory is the account-level notes your AI writes about you once the memory feature is on, and they apply across every chat.

- Nothing yet. Start the session.
This is deliberate.Anything saved here gets dragged into every single future chat:
Everything here flows into every chat you open.
Think about how many hats you wear:
Information that's useful in one context is noise in another, so global memory errs on the side of remembering less. It keeps the high-level you, because it has to work across your entire life.
You can force it mid-chat: say "Update your memory: the pitch moved to October 6" and it works. But you have to remember to ask every time, and that entry follows you into chats that have nothing to do with the pitch. Connectors can pull in documents, but they don't know what happened inside yesterday's session.

Level 1, explained in plain English
Global memory is your AI writing account-level notes about you that apply to every chat. That's useful for the high-level details that should follow you across all the roles in your life, but it will never hold enough specific context for real work, like an ongoing project.
