Memory

Memory lets Viro remember helpful details about you across chats, like your preferences, projects, and goals, so you don't have to repeat yourself. You can see, edit, export, and delete everything it remembers, or turn memory off.

As you chat, Viro saves details that are likely to be useful later, and it brings what it knows about you into every new chat. You can also add memories yourself.

• Viro keeps up to 500 memories that it saved on its own. Memories you add yourself don't count toward that.
• Memories don't expire. They stay until you edit or delete them.
• At 500, Viro makes room by removing a few of the memories it has used least. It never removes one you added yourself.

Select Customize in the sidebar, then Memory. Each memory shows the date it was saved and a category: Location, Preference, Goal, Work, Project, Interest, Identity, Writing style, Tools & tech, or Other. Once you have six or more, you can filter by category.

• Edit or delete: point to a memory to show the pencil (edit) and trash (delete) icons. Deleting takes effect right away.
• Add: select Add Memory, type it, for example "I prefer concise answers," and select Add. A memory can be up to 2,000 characters.

There's no single button to delete every memory. Delete them one at a time, or turn memory off to stop Viro from using them.

Once you have 15 or more memories, a summary appears at the top of Customize > Memory. It's a short write-up of what Viro has learned about you, with the time it was last updated. Select Show more to read all of it. The summary is built from your memories, so to change it, edit or delete the memories below it.

Yes. In Customize > Memory, select Export to download all of them as a Markdown file, or Copy all to copy them to your clipboard.

Yes. In Customize > Memory, find Import ChatGPT history and select Import. First export your data from ChatGPT (Settings > Data Controls > Export Data), unzip it, and upload the conversations.json file, up to 100 MB.

Viro reads the file and saves only useful context as memories: preferences, projects, goals, tools, and writing style. Full chat threads are never imported, sensitive details and duplicates are skipped, and your file is deleted right after. When it finishes, you see how many memories were added or updated, and you can edit or delete any of them. You can run up to 3 imports a day.

Yes, right in a regular chat:

• To remember: start with "Remember that…," "Save to memory…," or "Note to self…." Viro replies Got it — I'll remember that, or tells you if it already has it saved.
• To forget: say "Forget that…" or "Delete the memory about…." Viro shows up to three matches. Reply with the number to delete, or say "cancel."

Questions like "Do you remember…?" are answered normally and don't change your memory. Memory commands don't work in Temporary Chats, persona chats, or rooms.

Yes. When memory is on, Viro can search your earlier chats for something you said, so "what did I decide about the trip last week?" works even if it never became a memory. It searches your own messages and chat titles and brings back the few closest matches. It isn't available in a Temporary Chat.

• Anything from a Temporary Chat. Nothing from a Temporary Chat is added to memory. A Personalized Temporary Chat can still use what Viro already remembers; an Unpersonalized one doesn't.
• Roleplay, fiction, and in-character play, so a story you write doesn't become a "fact" about you.

Deleting a chat doesn't delete what Viro remembered from it. Remove those memories in Customize > Memory or ask Viro to forget them.

In Customize > Memory, turn off Enable cross-chat memory. Viro stops saving new memories, stops using saved ones in replies, and stops searching your earlier chats. Turn it back on any time.
