You don’t need to leave the conversation to build the assistant’s durable memory. A natural request in the chat is enough to save something you want remembered later.

​
Ask the assistant to remember

When durable memory is enabled and retention allows storing (Explicit only or Automatic), you can save a fact just by asking: 
Remember this: our fiscal year starts in April.
The assistant recognizes the intent, stores the fact to durable memory, and replies to confirm it was saved. This confirmation doesn’t consume a normal answer — it’s a quick acknowledgement, and the conversation continues as usual.

​
Phrasings that work

A range of natural phrasings all trigger an explicit save: 
Remember this: I prefer responses in British English.
Please remember that our support hours are 9am to 6pm GMT.
Keep this in mind for next time: the launch is set for Q3.
Note that Acme is our largest account.
Be specific and self-contained when you ask the assistant to remember something. “Remember that the Q3 launch is September 15” recalls far more usefully later than “remember that date.”
If durable memory is disabled, or retention is set to None, the assistant won’t store new facts. Enable Explicit only or Automatic retention first — see Set up durable memory.

​
Removing a memory

Removing specific memories is done from the memory management screen rather than by a chat command. This keeps deletions deliberate and scoped: every removal is an intentional action taken in one place instead of an ambiguous phrase in the middle of a conversation.
Think of it as a clean division of labor — chat is where memories are created, and the management screen is where they’re reviewed and removed.
