Memory

Polaris can remember things about you between chats, so you do not have to repeat yourself. Only you can see and manage your memories.

What Polaris remembers

After each message you send, Polaris checks in the background whether there is something worth keeping. It saves two kinds of memory:

• Instructions that should apply from now on. Polaris only saves an instruction when you make it clear it is lasting, for example with “always”, “never” or “from now on”.

  From now on, always show survival in months, not days.

• Facts about you, such as your role or the cohort you usually work on.

  I work on the bladder cancer cohort.

Polaris saves nothing by default. A passing remark in one question does not become a memory. A new memory can replace an older one that it contradicts.

Saved memories are added to Polaris’s context in your later chats.

See and manage your memories

Go to Settings › Account and find Your memory (“What Polaris remembers about you”). There you can:

• Read every memory.
• Edit a memory to correct it.
• Delete a memory.

Turn memory off

• For yourself: in Settings › Account, turn off Enable memory for me.
• For the whole project (admins): in Settings › Agent › Capabilities, turn off Enable memory for this project. No member can use memory while it is off.

Both switches are on by default. Memory works only when both are on.
