Memory
Memory comes with the Celeris desktop app, with nothing to switch on. The Mac App Store version does not include it.
Celeris keeps a record of the work you have done with it, so the second time you ask for something it does not have to work everything out again. How Celeris gets faster explains why that helps. This page is about the record itself: what is in it, where it lives, and how to remove things from it.
Where it lives
On your computer, in Celeris's own storage. It is not uploaded, not synced between your devices, and not pooled with anyone else's. A slice of it is handed to the model as part of the turn you asked for, in the same way your prompt is, and it is covered by the same settings your prompts are. Privacy has the full accounting.
What is in it
Open Settings → Memory for the inventory. It is grouped by what each kind of item is for, under the headings the page prints.
- Working folders, the folders your words point at. When you say "my repo" and Celeris resolves it to a folder, that answer is kept so the next task does not ask.
- Destinations, the places results go: the project you file issues in, the channel you post to, the folder you drop exports in.
- Past tasks, one row per task, holding what you asked, which tools ran, how it turned out, and when. This is what lets Celeris replay a plan it already worked out instead of deriving it again.
- Consolidated facts, short passages that came out of something a tool read, stored verbatim with the source they came from. The source is kept because a fact without one cannot be re-checked, and a stale fact served as current is worse than no fact at all.
Each item shows when it was captured, and facts show how often they have actually been used. Something captured months ago and never once served is usually the first thing worth clearing out.
Forgetting
Every item in the inventory has a Forget action. It removes that item from this computer and cannot be undone. Nothing else is touched. Forgetting one stale folder does not clear your history or your other memories.
Forgetting is not a repair mechanism for a wrong answer, though. If Celeris gets something wrong, reject the result rather than quietly fixing it by hand: a rejection is recorded and changes what happens next time, whereas an edit you make outside Celeris is invisible to it.
Facts and text you did not write
A captured fact is whatever a file, an API or a connected service said. Celeris treats it as data for the rest of its life. Text that arrives this way is never read as an instruction, however it is phrased, and it can never widen what Celeris is allowed to do. What Celeris may do is decided by the approval rules described in Approvals & safety and by nothing else.
Turning it off
Settings → Privacy has a single switch, Use saved memory in turns. Turn it off and Celeris answers without remembered context: it still works, it just starts each task from scratch, which mostly shows up as repeated questions about things you have already told it.
Turning it off does not delete anything. What is already stored stays in the inventory, so you can turn it back on and pick up where you were. Forgetting is the only thing that removes an item.
