Overview

Enable AI Memory to allow TeamAI to remember important details about your role, preferences, projects, and communication style across all conversations. This feature creates a personalized experience that improves over time, enabling the AI to provide contextual responses tailored to your specific needs without repeating background information in every chat.

Learning Objectives:

  • Enable and disable the AI Memory toggle

  • Share relevant information with TeamAI for personalization

  • Understand what types of information get remembered

  • Make informed decisions about what to share vs. keep private

  • Test AI Memory to verify stored information

  • Manage privacy considerations for stored memory

Prerequisites

You'll Need:

  • Access to a workspace with AI Memory feature enabled

  • An active account with permission to modify personal preferences

  • At least one chat conversation to test the memory function

  • Understanding that AI Memory is personal to your account (not shared)

Note: AI Memory is available on all paid TeamAI plans. If you don't see the option, contact your workspace administrator.


Enabling AI Memory

Access AI Memory Settings

  1. Navigate to the left panel and locate your workspace navigation

  2. Click the "Settings" icon (⚙️) at the bottom of the left panel

  3. Select "Preferences" from the settings menu under the Account section

Result: Your personal account preferences page opens.

Warning: These are personal account settings, not workspace settings. Changes affect only your account, not other team members.

Enable the Feature

  1. Scroll to the "AI Memory & Learning" section in your preferences

  2. Locate the toggle labeled "Enable AI Memory"

  3. Click the toggle to switch it to the ON position

  4. Click "Save changes" at the bottom of the preferences page

Result: AI Memory is now active. TeamAI will begin learning from your conversations.

Tip: A confirmation message appears: "AI Memory enabled. TeamAI will become more helpful as you chat."

Note: Enabling AI Memory does not immediately populate memories. The AI learns gradually as you share information across conversations.

Click on the settings icon in your workspace, then select Preferences under the Account section. This will take you to your personal AI configuration options.


Teaching TeamAI About Yourself

Share Relevant Information

  1. Navigate to the left panel and create a new chat or use an existing one

  2. Type information about yourself in the message input field, such as:

    • "I'm a marketing manager at a SaaS company"

    • "I prefer concise, bullet-point responses"

    • "I'm working on a product launch campaign for Q2"

    • "I specialize in B2B marketing for tech companies"

  3. Press Enter to submit the information

Result: In future conversations, the AI will reference these details without you repeating them.

Important: Be explicit and specific. "Marketing manager for enterprise SaaS products" is better than "I work in marketing."

Work and Role Details:

  • Your job title and responsibilities

  • Company name and industry

  • Department or team structure

  • Tone preferences (formal, casual, technical)

  • Language or jargon you prefer

Current Projects:

  • Active project names and descriptions

  • Project timelines, milestones, and deadlines

  • Goals, KPIs, and success metrics

  • Collaborators and stakeholders involved

Tools and Preferences:

  • File formats you prefer for exports

  • Topics of interest or frequent inquiry

  • Relevant context from past conversations



Understanding What Gets Remembered

Memory Categories

Personal Details:

  • Your role, job title, and responsibilities

  • Company name, industry, and department

  • Experience level and expertise areas

  • Team structure and reporting relationships

Communication Style:

  • Preferred response length and detail level

  • Format preferences (bullets, tables, paragraphs)

  • Tone preferences (formal, casual, technical)

  • Language or jargon you prefer

Current Projects:

  • Active project names and descriptions

  • Project timelines, milestones, and deadlines

  • Goals, KPIs, and success metrics

  • Collaborators and stakeholders involved

Preferences and Context:

  • Software tools and platforms you use

  • File formats you prefer for exports

  • Topics of interest or frequent inquiry

  • Relevant context from past conversations


Test Your AI Memory

Verify What TeamAI Knows

  1. Create a new chat to avoid conversation-specific context

  2. Ask TeamAI what it knows about you:

    • "What do you know about my work?"

    • "What are my communication preferences?"

    • "What projects am I currently working on?"

    • "What have you learned about me?"

Result: TeamAI provides a summary of stored memories. Review to ensure accuracy.

Tip: Test AI Memory in a fresh chat where you haven't shared additional context. This shows what's been stored from previous conversations.

Result: If information is missing or incorrect, you can explicitly restate it to update your memory.

Warning: AI Memory is not instantaneous. It may take a few minutes for new information to be fully processed and available for recall.


Disabling AI Memory

Turn Off the Feature

  1. Navigate to the left panel and click the "Settings" icon (⚙️)

  2. Select "Preferences" from the settings menu

  3. Scroll to the "AI Memory & Learning" section

  4. Click the "Enable AI Memory" toggle to switch it OFF

  5. Click "Save changes" at the bottom of the page

Result: AI Memory is disabled. The AI will stop learning new information.

Important Note: Previously stored memories remain in the system but will not be added to context in new chats. The AI effectively "forgets" what it learned but doesn't delete the data.

Note: Old memories may still influence responses briefly until the system fully processes the change (typically within 24 hours).

Re-Enabling After Disabling

To re-enable: Follow the same steps and toggle AI Memory back ON.

Result: The AI resumes learning and adds stored memories back into chat context.

Important: Memories stored before disabling are retained and become available again when you re-enable.


Best Practices

  1. Be explicit about what to remember: Use clear, specific statements like "Remember that I'm a backend engineer who specializes in Python and PostgreSQL" rather than vague comments.

  2. Update when circumstances change: When you change roles, projects, or preferences, explicitly tell the AI: "I've changed roles. I'm now a product manager instead of a developer."

  3. Review stored information periodically: Every few months, ask "What do you know about me?" to verify accuracy and update outdated information.

  4. Share information gradually: Don't dump everything at once. Share relevant details naturally throughout your conversations for better context retention.

  5. Focus on relevant professional details: Share information that helps the AI assist you better with your work, not personal information unrelated to your tasks.

Common Questions

Q: Is my AI Memory data shared with other team members?
A: No, AI Memory is personal to your individual account. It's not visible to or shared with other workspace members.

Q: How long does TeamAI retain memory information?

Q: Can I see what information TeamAI has remembered about me?
A: Yes, you can ask TeamAI directly what it knows about you, your preferences, or your work to review stored information.

Q: What happens if I disable AI Memory?
A: New information won't be learned, but previously stored memories may still influence responses until the system processes the change (typically within 24 hours).

Q: Does AI Memory work with all AI models in TeamAI?
A: Yes, AI Memory works across all available models in your TeamAI workspace, providing consistent personalization regardless of which model you're using.
