Memory controlUpdated August 25, 2026

Can I control what an AI companion remembers?

Short answer

It should be. A trustworthy memory system lets you decide what becomes durable, see what was saved, change it later, and remove it when it no longer fits.

Memory should be a user decision

Passive accumulation is easy to build and hard to trust. If a system quietly turns conversations into a permanent profile, the user eventually has to guess what the product believes about them.

A better model makes durable memory intentional. The person can explicitly save something or approve a proposed memory.

Control continues after saving

People change. Context changes. A memory that was useful six months ago can become misleading today.

Xiara lets you inspect, edit, pause, use less, or delete long-term memories. The memory layer is meant to remain reversible.
