Memories

Tell timelit once how you like things done, and it keeps that in mind in every chat and in your automations. Everything it remembers is listed in your settings, where you can edit or delete it.

Why we built this#

Saying "bullet points, please" in every chat gets old fast. So does explaining again that you only read mail in the mornings. timelit keeps lasting preferences like these, so you say them once.

What timelit remembers#

Only what you tell it yourself in a chat and that should apply from now on:

• how results should look: "I like my email summaries in bullet points"
• what it should always or never do: "never draft replies to newsletters"
• how you work: "I only read mail in the mornings"

A one-off request ("make this answer shorter") is not a memory, and neither is a detail of one automation: that belongs in the automation itself.

How you write is a setting of its own. If you say "I always sign with Best", timelit offers to update your writing style for email drafts instead of remembering it.

How it works#

1. Say it in a chat. In the Cockpit, or any other chat with timelit, write it in your own words. When timelit remembers something, the chat shows Remembered with an Undo button right below.

2. See what timelit knows. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Settings, and scroll to What timelit knows about my preferences. Each entry shows where it applies (Everywhere, Email summaries, Email drafts, Meetings or Automations) and where it came from: From a chat message, with Open conversation to jump back to that chat, or Added here. You can also type "memories" into the search bar.

3. Edit, delete or add. Click the pencil to change an entry's text or where it applies, then Save. Click the bin to delete it. To add one yourself, type it into the field below the list, choose where it applies and click Add.

4. Ask timelit to forget. In a chat, write for example "forget that I want bullet points", or "forget everything". timelit shows a Forget memories card with exactly which memories would go. Nothing is forgotten until you click Approve.

Where timelit uses your memories#

• in every chat with timelit
• when you plan an automation on the Automations page
• in what your automations produce, for example the layout of a summary they email you

What timelit will never do#

• Remember something because an email, a meeting, a file or an app says so, even if the text asks to be remembered. Only a message you write yourself counts.
• Forget something because an email or a file asks for it. Only you can ask to forget, and you approve it first.
• Let a memory add a recipient or a new step to an automation. Who gets something and what an automation does only come from the automation's plan, which you approved.

Good to know#

• The settings call memories "preferences". It's the same list.
• A memory counts in all your chats, not just the one you said it in.
• Looking for an earlier conversation? Ask timelit, for example "what did we set up for the supplier report?", and it points you back to that chat.
