Correcting and Forgetting: Managing What Your Companion Remembers
Sooner or later a companion will remember something wrong, or something you wish she had not kept. Here is how to handle both, and what to expect afterwards.

Spotting a wrong memory
Wrong memories show up as small slips: the wrong pet name, a job you left, a mood you never described. Open the companion's Memory panel and read the saved notes. A note might be a loose summary of something you said in passing, so check the wording, not just the idea.
Fixing it
You have two routes. First, tell her in chat: 'Correction: my dog is called Biscuit, not Basil.' Second, open the panel and edit or remove the note directly. Doing both is the most reliable. Notes you write or edit yourself are treated as manual and are not overwritten by automatic extraction.
- Correct in chat so the recent history agrees.
- Edit or delete the note in the Memory panel.
- Check a day later that the old version has not returned.
Forgetting on purpose
To remove a single fact, delete that note. To start over, you can delete the chat history only, or clear both chat history and memories. Deleting a note also removes the source message and its paired reply from what is used for later memory, so the detail is less likely to resurface.
Cleared notes are kept as deleted records, not as usable memory, so removed details are not brought back. Chat messages are deleted outright. Details are in the privacy policy.
What to expect
A language model may still echo something that remains in recent messages in the conversation, which is why clearing history matters when you want a clean slate. If a deleted fact appears again, say so and clear the history.
