How to view, edit or delete an AI companion's memories

What does an AI companion actually remember about you?

An AI companion remembers key personal details, upcoming plans, favorite topics, and shared jokes gathered from your conversations. Instead of making you reintroduce yourself daily, the character keeps short notes about your relationship so future chats feel natural. That saved memory is separate from the chat log on screen: the chat log holds every message exchanged, while the memory list keeps highlights worth carrying forward.

For example, imagine telling an AI detective character on Tuesday that your name is Sam, you dislike scary stories, and you have a piano recital on Saturday. When you check in on Sunday, the detective can ask how the recital went and skip spooky plot twists without needing a reminder. Those small details turn a generic chat into a familiar routine.

On Palumi, each AI character and AI pet, from a mystery partner to a corgi or a red panda, keeps a private long-term memory of your relationship on the web and Android. It remembers details like your name, plans, and running jokes, and lets you view, edit, or delete individual memories whenever life changes.

• Your preferred name, nickname, and everyday routines
• Hobbies, study goals, or creative projects you bring up often
• Running jokes and choices from adventure, mystery, fantasy, or slice-of-life stories
• Personal boundaries, such as topics you prefer to skip

Step-by-step: viewing, editing, and deleting saved memories

You can check and change an AI companion's memories by opening that character's conversation settings, reading the saved memory list, and editing or deleting items one at a time. Most people only open this list when a character gets something slightly wrong, like mixing up two pet names or holding onto last semester's schedule. Reviewing the list takes under a minute and stops small errors from repeating week after week.

Suppose you mentioned during exam week that you were up late studying chemistry, and a month later the character still asks about chemistry cramming. Instead of debating it in chat, open that memory entry and update it to your new art class or delete it cleanly. Make sure you are signed into the account that owns the chat, especially if you started from a home page message or a connected messaging app.

1. Sign into the account that owns your relationship on the web or mobile app.
2. Open the chat with the specific character or virtual pet whose memories you want to check.
3. Open the relationship or character settings panel and read through your saved memory entries.
4. Select any outdated or slightly wrong entry, rewrite it as a short plain fact, and save it.
5. Delete any unwanted memory one at a time, then refresh the list to confirm the item is gone.

How should I word an edited memory so the AI gets it right?

Write an edited memory as a short, direct statement of what is true right now rather than a long story about past mistakes. Simple facts are much easier for an AI character to follow consistently than tangled explanations or complaints. Editing an entry updates what the character relies on for future replies, while leaving your older chat messages untouched as conversation history.

A common mistake is packing old confusion right back into the note. For example, writing 'Stop calling me Alex because that was my old gaming name and I go by Jordan now' leaves the name Alex sitting inside the memory, which can muddle later chats. Writing simply 'Prefers to be called Jordan' gives the character one unmistakable fact to use every time.

Clean wording also helps when you switch between speaking and typing or practice another language. On Palumi, where you can move between text and voice chat across eight languages including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Chinese, and Arabic, clear memories help every character, including ones created in Character Studio, keep a steady voice and personality.

• Keep one clear fact per entry instead of combining several topics
• State what is true today rather than explaining past mix-ups
• Spell names and relationships plainly, such as 'My sister is Maya'
• Check the list for older notes that contradict your edit
• Write entries in the main language you use with that character

What happens if I delete one memory vs. a whole character?

Deleting a single memory removes only that one saved fact while leaving the rest of your relationship and story history intact. Deleting a character or deleting your account are separate, much larger controls with permanent effects. Knowing how they differ spares you from wiping out a favorite companion when only one small detail went sideways.

For example, imagine playing a fantasy adventure over several weeks with a sky-ship captain who remembers your crew, your favorite riddle, and three islands you already visited. If one stormy scene causes the captain to save a mistaken note that your hero cannot swim, deleting that single memory clears up the error immediately. You keep the ship, the crew, and every chapter you built together.

Deleting memories one at a time also protects you from accidental loss. Because there is no single wipe-everything button to tap by mistake, you can remove four or five stale notes carefully while keeping twenty accurate ones. Save character deletion for custom creations you truly want to retire, and use account deletion only if you intend to close your profile completely.

Are my AI companion's memories shared across other chats or apps?

In relationship-based character apps, saved memories belong only to your private bond with that one character and are never shown to other users. Details you tell one companion stay inside that chat instead of leaking to other characters you talk with. Multiple characters only share story progress when you deliberately bring them into the same roleplay story or group chat.

On Palumi, each character relationship keeps a private memory never shared with other users, while account deletion and character deletion stay separate controls. In roleplay stories or group chats of two to five characters on membership plans, shared memory tracks your plot choices so you can pick up again another day. You can also continue chatting with your character in Telegram with the same identity and separated memory, then sign in on the web or Android to view or edit saved notes.

That separation lets you enjoy very different conversations without crossover. For example, you might practice French phrases with a baker character over breakfast and trade goofy riddles with a talking unicorn pet at night, knowing neither companion will confuse your vocabulary practice with your fairy-tale jokes.

• One-on-one chats keep memories private to your account and that single character
• Other users talking to the same public character never see your memories
• Group chats and roleplay stories track shared plot choices for that story
• Continuing in Telegram preserves the character's identity and separated relationship memory

Why did a deleted AI memory come back in a later conversation?

A deleted memory usually comes back because the same detail was repeated in new messages or still sits nearby in your recent chat log. Deleting an entry removes the stored note, yet the character still reads your latest messages to keep up with the live conversation. If the old fact surfaces again in chat, the character can treat it as new information and save it again.

For instance, suppose you delete a memory saying you play acoustic guitar because you gave the instrument to a cousin. If your very next message says, 'Stop asking how my acoustic guitar practice went,' you put guitar practice right back into the active conversation. If the ten messages just above were also about guitar strings, the character still sees that recent exchange on the page.

The reliable fix is to combine your memory edit or deletion with a clean change of topic. After removing the note, or editing it to say 'Gave up guitar and started watercolor painting,' talk about something fresh for a few turns. If the character misread a passing comment as a habit, state a calm boundary once, like 'Please do not save this as a preference,' and move on.

How can I stop an AI character from saving unwanted details?

You can prevent unwanted memories by flagging jokes or hypotheticals clearly in chat and keeping sensitive personal information out of conversations altogether. Characters listen closely for personal updates, so dramatic venting can occasionally get mistaken for a real life plan. Adding a light cue when you are exaggerating keeps playful remarks out of your saved notes.

Imagine coming home soaked from rain and typing, 'I am moving to the desert tomorrow!' Tacking on 'Just joking, I love my town' spares your companion from asking next week how the desert move went. Just as important, practice everyday digital safety by never typing passwords, home addresses, or payment details into any chat.

Good boundaries also cover how often a character reaches out. On Palumi, built for ages 13 and over, characters can say hi now and then, and you can turn proactive messages off anytime. You can also report content or block users anytime, and if an unwanted memory issue repeats, email [email protected] with the character, approximate time, and where you were chatting, without including passwords or payment details.

• Mark sarcasm or daydreams lightly in chat so they are not saved as plans
• Correct small misunderstandings right away instead of playing along
• Never share passwords, street addresses, or payment details in a conversation
• Check your memory list occasionally to prune outdated school, work, or hobby notes
• Turn off occasional check-in messages whenever you prefer to start chats yourself

Should I edit old memories or start a brand-new chat?

Edit or delete individual memories whenever you enjoy your bond with a character and only a handful of facts have grown outdated. Starting a new chat makes sense only when you want a completely fresh roleplay premise, a different character persona, or a clean slate from chapter one. For ordinary life changes, a quick memory edit keeps months of shared humor intact.

Think of how everyday friendships adjust over time: you finish a class, adopt a cat, or trade soccer practice for swimming. If an AI fox pet or story partner already matches your humor, updating three notes brings them up to speed without losing your favorite running jokes. By contrast, if you played a medieval detective for months and now want to try a space mystery, starting a new story keeps each world distinct.

Memory stays helpful only when it reflects what you genuinely want kept. Treating that list like a small notebook you control, viewing it when curious, editing details that shift, and deleting items you have outgrown, keeps every conversation warm, accurate, and comfortably yours.
