The Memory Ledger

Managing Your Atomic Facts

The Memory Ledger (/settings → Personalization → Memory Ledger) is the interactive audit log of everything your AI teammates know about you.

Every piece of information is stored as a single, discrete atomic fact rather than an unstructured text blob. This makes it trivial to correct false assumptions, update changing preferences, or purge sensitive details.

In-Use vs. Needs-Review

To balance intelligent continuity with user sovereignty, ARMES organizes memories into two distinct stages:

1. In-Use (Active Ledger)

Facts in the In-Use tab are active and eligible for inclusion in the agent's identity envelope:

• Automatic Activation: Everyday durable facts extracted from your conversations auto-activate into the In-Use ledger.
• Pinned Facts: You can click the Pin icon on essential facts (e.g., your company's core tech stack or primary mission) so they are always prioritized in every prompt envelope.
• Hide from Ambient: Toggle Hide on a fact to keep it stored in your ledger without injecting it into ambient background prompts.
• Edit & Delete: Modify phrasing at any time or purge the fact with a single click.

2. Needs Review

The Needs Review queue holds candidate facts that require explicit user affirmation before activating:

• Trigger Conditions: History backfill candidates, sensitive disclosures, disputed facts, and items flagged for confirmation wait here.
• The fact remains inactive and is never visible to agents until approved.
• Actions:
  • Keep / Approve: Moves the fact into the active In-Use ledger.
  • Edit: Refine the statement.
  • Discard: Permanently purges the candidate fact.

Provenance & Trust Badges

Every fact in the Memory Ledger displays a verifiable Trust Badge indicating exactly where it originated:

• You said this: Manually asserted in settings.
• From onboarding: Extracted during your Welcome Journey.
• You asked me to remember: Explicitly commanded directly in chat.
• From a conversation: Automatically extracted from a recent thread.
• From your history: Extracted during an opt-in historical backfill pass.
• Inferred: Synthesized by conversational context.

Anatomy of a Memory Card

Deleting Memories

Deleting a memory is instantaneous and permanent:

1. Locate the fact in the ledger.
2. Click the Trash icon.
3. The fact is immediately removed from your database and vector index. It will never appear in any future context envelope.
