Short-Term Memory

TomoriBot reads recent messages in the active channel. Short-term memory (STM) extends this by keeping temporary working context:

  • Channel context: Reinforces the ongoing topic or situation in the current channel.
  • Cross-channel context: Recalls recent conversations from other channels, and across servers when cross-server recall is enabled.

She only remembers conversations she took part in. She updates a channel’s summary when she replies, and at no other time, so a busy channel where nobody talks to her leaves no memory. Each channel’s short-term memory expires after 24 hours by default. If you opt out under /personal config, your messages are excluded from short-term memory.

Fresh short-term memory and memory carrying other channels’ content sit just above the latest four speaker turns. Older memory from this channel stays above the conversation at the default setting. A configured shallower depth can keep the content closer to the latest message. See Inside The Prompt for the full layout.

  • Public channels: You discuss an album recommendation with TomoriBot in #music. A few minutes later in #general, you ask what album she suggested. Because she replied in #music, she recalls that context in #general.
  • Private channels: If that conversation happened in a private channel, she will not recall it in #general. Summaries from private channels stay isolated unless an administrator enables STM Privacy Bypass under /config > Permissions.

You can view or correct the current channel’s summary under /config > Persona > Memories. Server managers can adjust parameters or disable short-term memory under /config > Behavior > Advanced Memory, and review or clear active channel summaries under /memories > Short-Term. /refresh clears the current channel’s memory.
