Memory
Stop re-explaining yourself. Memory is a structured store of durable facts — preferences, decisions, project details, relationships — that the assistant searches and recalls precisely, instead of re-reading your whole history.
Facts, not transcripts
Discrete pieces of knowledge, so recall is precise rather than a rescan of everything ever said.
Nothing is hidden
You can read every stored fact, edit it, or mark it obsolete when it stops being true.
Separate from the thread
Clearing conversation noise does not erase what the assistant learned, and vice versa.
Memory is how Pulse remembers what matters about you and your work beyond a single exchange. It is a structured store of facts the assistant can search, update, and recall, separate from the raw timeline of messages.
Facts as the unit of memory
Memory holds facts. Each fact is a discrete piece of durable knowledge the agent has learned — a preference, a project detail, a relationship, a decision. Storing knowledge as facts lets the agent recall precisely what is relevant rather than re-reading the entire history.
Semantic search
The agent retrieves memory through semantic search. Instead of exact keyword matching, it finds facts by meaning, so a question about "the launch" surfaces facts about the relevant release even if the wording differs.
Each fact carries a confidence score, signaling how strongly the agent trusts it. Confidence informs how the agent weighs a fact when reasoning and when deciding whether to act on it.
Write policies
How facts get written is governed by a write policy:
| Policy | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto | The agent writes facts as it learns them, without prompting |
| Manual | Facts are recorded only when you direct it |
Auto keeps memory current with no effort; manual gives you tight control over what the agent retains. You choose the policy that fits the workspace from settings.
Salience-based maintenance
Memory is maintained over time using salience. As facts accumulate, the most relevant and important ones are kept prominent, while stale or low-salience facts recede. This keeps the store useful rather than letting it grow into noise.
Memory and context
Relevant facts are folded into Pulse's working context as the timeline grows. This is what lets durable knowledge survive even when the original message is no longer near the latest part of the thread.
Managing memory
The memory area in settings lets you review stored facts, adjust the write policy, and curate what the agent knows. Because facts are explicit and searchable, you can see exactly what informs the agent's behavior and correct anything that is wrong.
