# Ivy Memory

> Learn how Ivy remembers useful context across chats and uses it to personalize your research.

Ivy can remember useful details you share across conversations, so you can spend less time repeating your preferences and more time researching.

### What Ivy can remember

Ivy can save context that helps with future conversations, including:

* Your investing interests and research topics.
* Your goals, risk preferences, and time horizons.
* Constraints you want considered when exploring ideas.
* Your preferred research methods, metrics, and response style.

For example, you might tell Ivy:

> “Remember that I prefer liquid ETFs and usually research investments with a three-to-six-month horizon.”

Ivy can also save useful context you share naturally during a conversation. You don’t need to begin every preference with “remember this.”

### Using memory in a new chat

When relevant, Ivy can recall saved context to help tailor its response. You can also ask directly:

> “What do you remember about my research preferences?”

You may see **Save Memory** or **Recall Memory** in the chat activity as Ivy works.

Memory is selective. Ivy may not save or recall every detail, so include any information that is essential to your current question.

### Memory and past chats

Ivy uses different kinds of context:

| Context | What it helps with |
| - | - |
| Current conversation | Following the questions, details, and instructions in your open chat. |
| Saved memory | Carrying useful preferences and personal context across chats. |
| Past-chat search | Finding details from earlier conversations when you ask to revisit them. |

Saved memory contains selected facts rather than complete copies of your chats. Starting a new chat begins a fresh conversation, but relevant saved memories may still be available.

### Updating your preferences

If your preferences change, tell Ivy clearly:

> “My research horizon has changed. Remember that I’m now focused on one-to-two-year investments.”

Your current corrections take precedence over older context.

If you don’t want a detail saved, say so when sharing it:

> “Use this hypothetical allocation for this conversation, but don’t remember it.”

This instruction concerns saving new information; it does not confirm deletion of an existing memory.

### Keep financial information current

A remembered goal, target allocation, or previously mentioned holding may have changed. Memory does not replace current brokerage or market data, and it does not authorize trades.

When current positions, balances, or prices matter, ask Ivy to check the latest available data.
