Personality and Memory

Your agent behaves the way its files say — and you can open and rewrite those files. There’s no black box: the Personality tab shows a list of documents on the left and a plain-text editor on the right.

Below the editor are the Save button and a note: changes take effect immediately, the agent reads them in new conversations, and no restart is needed.

Character

Five documents describe who the agent is and how it works.

Document	What it controls	What goes in it
Soul	Character: how it talks, what matters to it, and what it won’t do. Reread at the start of every new conversation	Filled in from the role when the agent is created. Edit it when the agent’s actual job changes
Personality	Profile card: name, manner, mood	Filled in during the first conversation, when you pick the agent’s name
Rules	Working rules: what it can do on its own and what requires asking you first	The key document for security. This is where restrictions live
About You	What the agent knows about you: how to address you, language, time zone, what you do	Keep adding to it — the agent will work more accurately
Tool Notes	The agent’s own notes on what’s connected and how to use it in your setup	Usually maintained by the agent; it helps to add non-standard paths and addresses

The Soul document: character text generated by the platform for the Automator role

This is the Soul the platform wrote for the “Automator” role: who it is, what it does on first run, which files it maintains. This is the same role you chose in the setup wizard — plain text you’re free to rewrite.

Memory

Four documents where the agent’s work accumulates. The first two are long-term; the agent maintains the rest as it goes.

Document	What’s inside
Long-Term Memory	What the agent has committed to memory. You can add to it yourself — the agent reads important facts about your business the next time it checks its memory
Dream Journal	What the agent reflected on overnight and moved into long-term memory while you were away
`ONBOARDING.md`	The first-meeting script. The agent follows it step by step and then deletes it — if the file is gone, onboarding is complete
`TASKS.md`	Automation catalog: what it does → where the script lives → how to run it → schedule
`WORKING.md`	Work log: in progress, plan, done. The only file the agent rewrites in full; it appends to all the others

The TASKS.md document: a prefilled Automation Catalog template with Running and Idea Queue sections

TASKS.md is the most useful file for you, not the agent. It lists everything you’ve automated and how each piece runs: open it a month from now and you’ll understand your own setup without asking the agent.

Nightly processing

A separate item under the Memory section opens the Background Self-Improvement panel. While you’re away, the agent rereads the day’s conversations, pulls out what matters, and moves it into long-term memory — from the Dream Journal into Long-Term Memory.

The Background Self-Improvement panel for a newly created agent — empty

For a new agent, the panel is empty: no nights have passed yet. Check it when the agent starts forgetting agreements — you’ll see what it considered important and what it lost.

What to add yourself

The agent writes its own files, but three things are safer to enter by hand — they shouldn’t depend on what the agent decided was important.

Document	What to add
Rules	What it must not do without asking: message people, publish, delete files, spend money
About You	Your time zone, how to address you, what your business does, who your customers are
Long-Term Memory	Permanent facts: company details, project names, colleagues’ names, links to working spreadsheets

Anything said only in chat lasts until the history is compressed — long conversations get condensed and details disappear. Any agreement you can’t afford to lose belongs in a file.

FAQ

I edited a document — do I need to restart the agent?

No. Changes are picked up in new conversations. If an edit didn’t take effect, start a new conversation: the current one still holds the old version.

The agent forgot what we agreed on

Working memory is finite, and long conversations get compressed — details are lost in the process. Add the fact to Long-Term Memory by hand. Also check that the Memory ability is enabled under Abilities.

The agent made up a fact

Check Long-Term Memory and the Dream Journal: a wrong conclusion may have landed there during nightly processing and is now treated as true. Delete the incorrect line — you fix this by editing the file, not by arguing in chat.

I want to change the agent's name or tone

The Personality document holds the name, manner, and mood. The Soul document holds what matters to the agent and what it won’t do. Change tone in the first, behavior in the second.

Can I write the files in English?

Yes, the agent understands both. Avoid mixing languages within one document — it muddles the workflow itself, not the agent’s understanding of the words.

A document is empty — is that an error?

No. Some documents are empty for a new agent: Personality, Rules, and About You are filled in during the first conversation or by you. An empty document shows the hint “Describe what the agent should be like — in plain text or Markdown.”

Advanced

You don’t need this to get started.

Markdown and file structure

Documents support Markdown: ## headings, lists, bold text. This helps the agent — it uses headings to find the right section without rereading the whole file. Keep one topic per document: rules in one place, facts about you in another.

Why WORKING.md is rewritten in full

It’s a log of current work, not an archive: “in progress,” “plan,” “done.” If the agent only appended to it, the file would keep growing and eat up memory. The agent appends to all the other documents.

The same files appear in the Files tab

Yes, the Files tab shows them as regular container files alongside everything else. The Personality tab is a showcase for the documents you edit most often.

A separate model for history compression

You can control what condenses long conversations: the Models section has a dedicated History Compression slot. This model needs precision more than intelligence — but one that’s too weak loses more details.
