What Kyra remembers
Kyra is meant to be worth talking to twice. That requires remembering things, which requires you being able to see and change what it remembers.
Three separate things are kept, and they behave differently.
| Memories | Transcripts | Notebook context | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What | Durable facts about you | What was said, session by session | What a notebook is for |
| Size | A sentence | A whole conversation | A file per notebook |
| Made by | Kyra, when something is worth keeping | Automatically | You, with Kyra’s help |
| Used | Whenever relevant | When you ask about the past | Whenever Kyra works in that notebook |
| Where | Portal → Memory | Portal → Transcripts | KYRA.md in the notebook |
Memories
Section titled “Memories”A memory is one durable fact: a preference, a decision, a piece of project context, a commitment to follow up.
“Remember that I prefer British spelling.” “Remember we chose the flat rate over per-seat.” “Remember Marta runs the design review on Thursdays.”
Kyra also saves memories on its own when something is clearly durable. It is deliberately conservative — a conversation full of throwaway remarks should not become fifty memories, and a memory store full of noise is worse than an empty one.
Reading them
Section titled “Reading them”“What do you remember about me?” “What do you know about the launch?”
Or open Portal → Settings → Memory for the full list, searchable, with what each one is and when it was stored.
Correcting and deleting
Section titled “Correcting and deleting”“Forget that.” “Forget what I said about the flat rate.” “Actually, it’s per-seat now.”
Kyra names the memory it is about to delete and asks you to confirm, because deleting the wrong one is not recoverable. If your phrasing matches several, it asks which.
Correcting is usually better than deleting — telling Kyra the new answer supersedes the old one and keeps the fact.
You can also delete individual memories from the portal.
Transcripts
Section titled “Transcripts”Every session is saved. Portal → Transcripts lists them; open one to read it.
Transcripts are what make “what did we talk about on Tuesday?” work without you having saved anything. They are searched alongside memories and notes when you ask about the past.
You can delete a transcript. Deleting it removes the record of that conversation but not any memories or notes that came out of it — those are separate things and are deleted separately.
Notebook context
Section titled “Notebook context”Each notebook can carry a KYRA.md describing what it is for and how you want it
handled. Kyra reads it when working there, and keeps its own working notes in it.
It is an ordinary file — open it, read what Kyra has written about your notebook, and edit it. More →
Keeping it useful
Section titled “Keeping it useful”Correct things when they change. A stale memory is worse than a missing one, because Kyra acts on it confidently.
Say the durable thing explicitly. “Remember that…” is more reliable than hoping Kyra spots the significance of a passing remark.
Prune occasionally. Read through Settings → Memory now and then and delete what has gone stale. Ten minutes, once a quarter.
Do not use it as a to-do list. Memories are context, not tasks. Ask for a note or a reminder for things that need doing.
