# Memory and Personalization

User Memory helps nexos.ai remember important context about you across chats, so you do not have to repeat the same details every time you start over. As you work, the app can dynamically add new context into memory based on what you share in your chats, so future answers can better match your situation and stay consistent.

Personalization is a simple addition to Memory that you control directly. You can manually add information about yourself using custom instructions, such as your role, your preferences, and how you want responses to be written.

It helps you start faster and get answers that match your style.

#### Where it works

You can use it anywhere your workspace supports it, such as:

* Chat
* Agents

### How to use it

#### 1) Open your personalization settings

Go to the Personalization settings area.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your settings

Open Settings, then go to the Personalization tab. From here, you can toggle Memory on or off at any time.

### Manage your saved Memory

If you want to review what nexos.ai remembers, click **Manage memory**. You will be taken to a page where you can see your saved memories, delete a single memory, or delete all memories.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add your personalization details

Add a few key details about yourself so nexos.ai can respond in a way that fits your work. For example, you can add your role, what you do, and any general preferences you want the assistant to follow.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add custom instructions

Use the custom instructions field to describe how you want responses to be written. You can either type your own instructions or choose from the suggested options provided.

**Examples:**

* Keep answers short and clear.
* Use bullet points and headings.
* Always include a checklist at the end.
* Use a professional and friendly tone.

After you fill in your personalization details and custom instructions, make sure you **save** your changes so they apply to future chats.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start chating

Start a new chat and ask your question as usual. nexos.ai will use your saved preferences and remembered context to shape future responses.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### When to use it

Use Memory and Personalization when you often repeat the same context in new chats, when you want more consistent answers across conversations, or when you want responses in a specific style, summaries, checklists, or a certain tone.

### You stay in control

You can view what nexos.ai remembers, edit it, or delete it at any time. If you want a different style for a single request, you can simply say so in your message and it will apply for that one response.
