Help Ventos remember what matters

Use memory for durable preferences and team conventions that should outlast a single conversation. Memory is separate from chat context: a new conversation starts without the old chat, while saved memory can still inform Ventos’s work.

Choose where to save it

• Private memory is yours alone. No one else in your organization sees it. It holds your working style, your preferences, and the personal context that makes Ventos’ answers fit the way you work.
• Shared memory belongs to the whole organization. Everyone contributes to it and everyone benefits from it — your organization’s conventions, recurring processes, relationship stages, and decisions the team has made.

Tell Ventos what to remember

Say what matters and where it belongs. For example: “Remember that I prefer client briefs in bullet points,” or “Add our partnership stage names to shared memory.”

How memory works

• Ventos maintains it automatically. As you work, it distills the durable facts worth keeping — people, relationships, projects, and the connections between them — and writes them to memory. You don’t have to manage it.
• It survives long conversations. When a conversation gets long enough that older messages drop out of view, anything saved to memory stays.
• You’re in control. Ask “what do you remember about me?” to see what’s stored, correct anything that’s wrong, or tell Ventos to forget something.
• It’s portable. Memory is stored as plain, structured text using the Open Knowledge Format — an open standard, not a lock-in.

What belongs in memory

Put personal working preferences and context in private memory. Put anything the rest of the organization should know in shared memory — but remember that shared memory is visible to everyone in your organization, so keep personal notes out of it.

Important boundaries

• Memory is for durable facts and preferences, not bulk content. Large documents, transcripts, and records live in the knowledge base.
• Shared memory has no per-person visibility controls — everything in it is organization-wide.
• Ventos decides what’s worth remembering. If something specific matters, tell it explicitly to remember it.

Next steps

• Knowledge base — searchable organization data, as opposed to distilled facts
• Skills — reusable procedures, the other thing you can teach Ventos once
