Selective Memory
Control what AI remembers, forgets, or ignores with transparent settings.
What is Selective Memory?
Selective Memory gives users explicit control over what AI remembers, forgets, or ignores. Instead of opaque memory, the system provides transparent controls to view, edit, or delete stored information. It's essential for personal assistants, conversational systems, or tools building context over time. Examples include ChatGPT's memory settings for viewing and deleting memories, Google Assistant's activity controls, or Replika marking conversations as temporary.
Example: ChatGPT Custom Instructions

Allows users to define what the AI should always remember and what it should ignore, with ability to view, edit, or clear stored preferences at any time.
