Memory
How One remembers things about you across conversations, how it shows you each change, and how to review, correct, or remove what it knows.
With memory, One can remember things about you from one conversation to the next, such as your role, your preferences, or how you like answers written. It uses what it remembers to personalize its answers. Memory in One is powered by Atma, Denizen Blu's personal memory app, so you'll see Atma named in the Memories panel.
You stay in control: One shows you every change it makes to your memory, you can undo or review what it picks up, and you can correct or remove any memory at any time.
How One learns about you
There are two ways something gets into your memory.
You ask One to remember it. Say so directly, for example "Remember that I work in finance" or "Remember that I prefer short answers." One saves it right away.
One notices it. When you mention something about yourself, for example "I really like cars," One may note it. A noticed statement is not a memory yet. One considers it over time, and only suggests turning it into a memory once it has seen enough.
One is careful about what it picks up:
- It only notices things you said about yourself in your latest message, in your own words.
- It doesn't save questions, things that sound like passwords or other secrets, or hypotheticals.
- It doesn't save anything from a message where you say not to.
In a temporary chat, One neither uses nor updates your memory.
Memory chips: what changed
After an answer, One shows a small chip below it whenever your memory changed during that message:
| Chip | What it means |
|---|---|
| Taught | One saved something you asked it to remember. |
| Noticed (pending review) | One noted something you said. It isn't a memory yet. |
| Corrected | One updated a memory after you said it was wrong. |
| Forgotten | One removed a memory you asked it to forget. |
| Not saved | You asked One to remember something, but it couldn't be saved. The chip says why. |
A Noticed chip has an Undo button. Select it if you don't want One to learn from that statement. The chip then reads Undone.
One's answers never claim to have changed your memory on their own. The chips are the record of what actually changed.
Correct or forget from the chat
You can manage memory just by talking to One:
- If One gets something wrong about you, tell it: "That's not right, I moved to Denver last year." One corrects the memory, and you'll see a Corrected chip.
- To remove something, ask: "Forget that I work in finance." You'll see a Forgotten chip.
One can only correct or forget memories it used for that message. If it doesn't pick up the right one, use the Memories panel instead.
The Memories panel
Open Memories (the brain icon) from the icons along the edge of the sidebar to see everything One remembers about you. The One mobile app has the same panel.
Your memories
Each memory card shows the memory, its class, and how it was learned. There are four classes:
- Identity: who you are.
- Belief: what you think or prefer.
- Behavior: how you like things done.
- Episode: something that happened.
On each card you can:
- Select the pencil icon (Edit Memory) to open Correct memory and fix what it says.
- Select the trash icon to Forget a memory. One asks you to confirm: "Atma will stop using this memory. Its history is kept."
To add a memory yourself, select Create Memory, choose a Class, and type the memory.
To turn memory off, switch off Use memory at the top of the Memories panel, next to Export memories. This is the same setting as Reference saved memories in Settings > Data & Privacy. While it's off, One doesn't use your memories, doesn't learn anything new, and doesn't save things you ask it to remember.
Review what One learned
The section labeled What Atma learned is where you review what One picked up automatically.
- Learn from my conversations turns automatic learning on or off. When it's off, the panel says "Learning is off. Atma keeps your confirmed memories but won't learn anything new." Things you explicitly ask One to remember are still saved.
- Suggested memories appear here when One thinks it has learned something. Each shows its class, a confidence percentage, how many statements support or contradict it, and Why One suggested it. Choose Accept, Reject, or Edit to change the wording before accepting. Suggestions about who you are or what you believe are flagged Atma needs you.
- Recently noticed lists things you said that One is still considering. Select Discard next to any you don't want it to learn from.
- Candidates are memories learned automatically. They aren't used in your answers until you confirm them. Choose Confirm or Reject.
When there's nothing to review, the panel says "Nothing is waiting for you."
Export your memories
Select Export memories in the Memories panel to download a copy of all your memories, including their history.
Deleting memories
- To delete one memory, select Forget on its card, or ask One to forget it in a chat.
- To stop One from picking up new memories, turn off Learn from my conversations.
- To stop One from using your memories at all, turn off Use memory.
Forgetting a memory stops One from using it, but Atma keeps the memory and its history, and it still appears in an export. Clearing your chats doesn't delete your memories either.
To have all your memories permanently erased, contact support.
