How Memory Works
Memory
Memory helps your character remember useful context from past conversations, preferences, shared facts, and recurring themes.
It is designed to make future conversations feel more continuous, without requiring you to repeat the same background every time.
What Gets Remembered
QUI can remember several kinds of information:
- Important facts you or the character share
- Preferences, habits, and recurring choices
- Useful details from previous conversations
- Events, decisions, and ongoing topics
- Character identity, tone, and self-knowledge
Not every message becomes equally important. Everyday conversation may be kept lightly, while starred or repeated information is treated as more useful.
How Memory Is Used
When you talk to a character, QUI looks for memories that may help the character respond with better context.
This can include previous conversations, related topics, and remembered preferences.
The result is a character that can pick up on past context naturally, while still focusing on the current conversation.
Awareness
In Strings, the Awareness control changes how much memory the character uses while replying.
Lower awareness keeps the response more focused on the current message.
Higher awareness gives the character more room to draw from past context.
Memory Over Time
As conversations grow, QUI can summarize and organize older memories so the character keeps the important patterns without needing every tiny detail.
This helps long-running characters stay useful, consistent, and easier to manage.
