Memory is what the agent has learned about how you like to write. Tell it once to use American spelling or to skip rhetorical questions, and it keeps doing so in later drafts without being reminded.
Everything it remembers is listed under Agent Studio → Memory, where you can add to it, correct it or remove it.
How the agent learns
After each turn in the Agent tab, WordCrafter reviews what you asked for and keeps anything that sounds like a lasting preference, such as "never use the word delve". One-off requests like "make this paragraph shorter" are not remembered. The agent can also save a memory in the middle of a task.
Each memory card shows who taught it: Added by you or Learned by the agent. It also shows a category: Voice, Vocabulary, Structure, Formatting, Audience, Fact or Avoid.
Learning and tidying both use an AI model, so they count toward your AI usage allowance unless you use your own API key. When the allowance is used up, the agent stops learning new memories until it resets. See Research credits and AI usage.
Teach it yourself
Use Teach your agent at the top of the Memory tab:
Tell it directly. Type what it should remember, such as "Keep sentences under 20 words", pick a category and click Add.
Learn from a sample. Paste a paragraph or two you have written, at least about 80 characters, and click Learn my voice. The agent picks out the preferences it can see in your writing and adds them as memories.
Opened from a draft or a project, a new memory can apply to just that draft or project instead of your whole account.
Keep it accurate
Delete a memory that is wrong. Right after deleting, you can undo, or click Never remember so the agent does not pick it up again.
Promote to a rule when a memory should be standing guidance you control, for example to mark it HARD. You can keep the memory too, or let the rule replace it. See Rules and modes.
Search finds a memory by its text, and Compact fits more of them on screen.
Facts, such as a price or a product name, can go out of date. The agent is told to check a fact before stating it, and an old fact is marked on its card.
Tidy
Over time, memories overlap ("short sentences" and "sentences under 25 words") or contradict each other. Tidy cleans them up:
Click Tidy. WordCrafter scans your memories and drafts a tidy. Nothing changes yet.
Review the preview. Each step is labeled: Merge combines duplicates into one memory, Resolve conflict keeps the newer of two contradicting memories, Remove blocked removes what you asked it never to remember, and Clean up clears out old leftovers.
Click Apply this tidy, or Not now.
A conflict that would overrule something you added yourself, or an Avoid memory, is flagged for you instead of being resolved automatically.
Tidy also runs on its own from time to time, for example after the agent has learned a batch of new memories. The line under your memory count shows when the last tidy ran.
History and undo
History lists every tidy, whether you started it or it ran on its own. Open one to see its steps, then undo a single step or click Undo this whole run to bring those memories back. If a memory has changed since the tidy, undoing that step is refused so your newer edit is not overwritten.
Never remember
The Never remember list at the bottom of the Memory tab holds things the agent must not learn. Add an entry there directly, or from the undo prompt after you delete a memory. The agent will not pick up anything on the list automatically, and the next tidy removes matching memories that were picked up automatically. Memories you added yourself are left alone. Un-block an entry to let the agent learn it again.
Memories retired for safety
If a memory contains text that looks like an attempt to override the agent's instructions, it is retired automatically and shown in a separate section. Retired memories are never used. Delete them, or restore one if it was a false alarm. A restored memory is checked again on the next run.
The limit
An account can hold 200 active memories. Once it reaches that, new memories are not saved until you delete some or a tidy merges them. Tidying regularly keeps you well under it.
