You can write memories yourself instead of waiting for Chief to capture them. This is the fastest way to lock in a fact, preference, or instruction you want Chief to remember.

​
Add a memory

  1. Open the memory page for the scope you want: Settings → Memory for Your Memories, the project’s Memories page for Project Memories, or the organization’s Memory page for Organization Memory.
  2. In the section header, click the Add Memory button (the one with the + icon). A text box appears.
  3. Type your memory in the text box. The placeholder reads “Enter a memory entry…” Keep it to one clear fact, like “Prefers concise answers with bullet points.”
  4. Click Save. The memory appears in the list below. To back out instead, click Cancel.
🚀 Pro-Tip: One fact per memory. Short, single-idea memories are easier for Chief to match to the right moment than one long paragraph covering five topics.

​
Edit a memory

A memory card with its Pin, Edit, Archive and Delete icons
  1. Find the memory in the list on its memory page.
  2. On the memory card, click the Edit button (the pencil icon on the right). The card turns into an editable text box with the current text.
  3. Change the wording.
  4. Click Save to keep your change, or Cancel to discard it.

​
Delete a memory

The Delete Memory confirmation dialog warning that the action cannot be undone
  1. On the memory card, click the Delete button (the trash icon on the right).
  2. A confirmation dialog titled Delete Memory appears, warning that this can’t be undone.
  3. Click Delete to remove it permanently.
⚠️ Important: Deleting is permanent — there’s no undo. If you only want a memory out of the way for now, use Archive instead. Archived memories can be restored later.

FAQ

The Add Memory button only appears if you have permission to create memories in that scope. For Project Memories and Organization Memory, that depends on your role in the project or organization. You can still add memories in Your Memories under Settings → Memory.
You can only edit memories you’re allowed to change. Owners can edit any memory in their scope; collaborators can edit the ones they created. If you didn’t create that memory and aren’t an owner, the edit, archive, and delete icons won’t appear.
Save stays disabled until the text box has content. Type at least one non-blank character and it becomes clickable.
