A companion that forgets you every time you close the app isn't much of a companion; it's just a sophisticated search engine. Colloqio's local memory feature allows it to remember your name, your preferences, and your shared history — all without ever leaving your device.
"The real magic of AI isn't in its general knowledge, but in its ability to understand your specific world."
The Power of Persistence
Most AI chats are "stateless." Once the window is closed or the session expires, it's a blank slate. Colloqio uses a specialized local vector database to store context that matters to you. Over time, your companion builds a profile of your interests, your writing style, and your goals.
Tips for Better Recall
To make the most of your companion's memory, keep these tips in mind:
- Be explicit: If there's something you want your companion to know forever, just tell it. "Remember that my dog's name is Luna and she's a Golden Retriever."
- Update as you go: If your preferences change, let it know. "I'm no longer vegetarian, I've started eating fish."
- Ask for context: Occasionally ask, "What do you remember about our last conversation?" to see how it's processing your shared history.
Managing Your Memories
Privacy means control. Inside the app settings, you can view the "Memory Bank" to see exactly what context your companion has stored. You can delete individual memories or clear the entire database at any time. Your companion only knows what you want it to know.
Why Local Memory Wins
Traditional AI memories are stored on company servers. If that company goes under or changes their policy, your "friendship" is lost or sold. Because Colloqio's memory is a local file, it's your property. You can back it up, move it to a new device, or delete it forever.
