Memory

Catherine's memory is what makes her different from a chatbot. She doesn't just process your message and forget it — she learns, remembers, and applies what she knows to everything she does for you.

How it works

Every conversation you have with Catherine teaches her something. She pulls out the important bits — names, preferences, decisions, patterns — and stores them as permanent knowledge. Next time the context comes up, she already knows.

This isn't keyword matching. Catherine understands meaning. If you told her three weeks ago that "Dave always needs a reminder the day before," she'll remind Dave automatically without you asking.

Types of memory

Facts Concrete things she knows about you, your business, your contacts:

• Your accountant is Sarah at PKF

• You prefer invoices sent on Mondays

• Your company's ABN is 12 345 678 901

Preferences How you like things done:

• Email tone: professional but warm

• Never schedule before 9am

• Always use metric units

Standing instructions Rules she follows automatically:

• CC the admin on all client emails

• Flag any invoice over $5,000 for my review

• Reply to support emails within 2 hours

Context What's been happening:

• You're in the middle of a website redesign

• The Henderson proposal is due Friday

• You had a call with the supplier yesterday about delivery delays

Asking about her memory

You can always check what Catherine knows:

• "What do you remember about the Henderson project?"

• "What are my current standing instructions?"

• "What do you know about Dave?"

She'll give you a clear summary of what she has stored.

Updating her memory

Add something new: "Remember that our new office address is 42 George St, Sydney"

Correct something: "Actually, our fiscal year starts in July, not June"

Remove something: "Forget everything about the old supplier contract"

Catherine confirms changes so you always know what she's working with.

Memory limits

Catherine's memory is large but not infinite. She prioritises:

1. Active, frequently-used information

2. Recent context and decisions

3. Standing instructions and rules

Old, outdated information that hasn't been referenced in a long time may be deprioritised, but it's never deleted without your permission.
