Audit and Refine AI Memory for High-Context Business Tasks

Manage AI memory to ensure your project context stays accurate and updated.

Use the new Memory Summary and Sources feature to audit what the AI 'knows' about your business and prune outdated or irrelevant context.

ChatGPT

The Scenario

The AI keeps referencing an old version of a project or an outdated business priority that it 'remembered' from a previous conversation.

Before & after

The old way

Correcting an AI that repeats outdated info requires re-uploading instructions or constant manual prompting, taking 10–15 minutes per session.

With AI

Activate the memory summary and sources to verify where intelligence came from and correct the AI's internal 'context' in 2 minutes.

The Prompt

Show me a summary of your current memory regarding my [PROJECT/TOPIC]. Delete the information about [OUTDATED DETAIL] and instead remember that [NEW UPDATED DETAIL] is now the priority.

Business users can now see 'Sources' below responses to identify if context came from memories, past chats, or custom instructions, and delete specific inaccurate memories.
