## Description

**Memory** lets the agent **remember what you share about yourself**—then use it to **personalize future answers**. By default, **Memory is on**. When **Reference Saved Memories** is enabled by your school, the agent can actively draw on your saved memories (e.g., personal info, knowledge gaps, help requests, lessons learned) to tailor replies and progress checks.

**User**

## Features

#### On by Default
Your agent remembers details you tell it during chat  
(e.g., “I’m new to Linux,” “I want help with citations”).

#### Reference Saved Memories (Institution Toggle)
When enabled, the agent uses your saved memories to **customize answers** and **study plans**.

#### Memory Categories
- **Personal Information** – major, interests, preferences  
- **Knowledge Gaps** – topics you find difficult  
- **Help Requests** – areas you asked support for  
- **Lessons Learned** – what you’ve mastered recently

#### Administrator Insight (Read-Only for Users)
Administrators and admins can search for a user, review high-level memory,  
and (on their side) add or edit entries to better support you.

## How to Use (step by step)

#### Chat Normally
Share goals, strengths, and struggles as you work. 
Memory captures helpful details automatically.

#### Ask Memory-Aware Questions
Try asking:
- “Summarize my progress and knowledge gaps.”  
- “Based on my history, what should I study next?”  
- “Remind me what I asked about Linux and why it matters.”

#### Get Tailored Guidance
The agent pulls from your **previous chats** (and, when enabled, your **saved memories**) to provide **targeted suggestions, quizzes, and resources**.

#### Keep It Up-to-Date
If something changes—new major, goal, or challenge—
tell the agent so Memory stays current.

#### See the Benefit Over Time
As your history grows, replies become more specific to you  
(e.g., deeper Linux practice if you’ve asked “What is Linux?” and “What is its purpose?”).

## Pedagogical Use Cases

#### Personalized Study Plans
Generate next-step study plans that reflect your **knowledge gaps** and **lessons learned**.

#### Targeted Remediation
Ask for drills or practice on **weak topics** the agent already knows you struggle with.

#### Progress Reviews
Request periodic summaries of what you’ve asked, learned, and what to focus on next.

#### Preference-Aware Support
Small facts (even favorites) can be saved—useful for **examples, motivation, and tone**.

## Notes for Users

- Memory helps Agentic OS **personalize your experience**; you won’t see admin tools.  
- If your school enables **Reference Saved Memories**, the agent’s responses will more explicitly reflect your **saved profile**.
