What is the difference between conversation history and AI memory?

A conversation log is useful because meaning often depends on sequence: what you asked, what changed, what you rejected, and where the discussion stopped. It gives the next turn a place to begin.

That does not automatically mean every detail should influence future conversations.

A durable memory should earn its place. It might be a standing preference, a correction to how you want to be addressed, an ongoing decision, or what a certain piece of music means to you.

Xiara keeps those memories visible and editable instead of hiding them inside a black-box profile.
