Context window vs memory

Many assistants now offer memory. They save short notes about you, like your job, your language or your preferences, and quietly add them to new chats. Some can also look back through your past conversations.

This is handy, since you stop repeating yourself. It also means the tool keeps personal details over time. A wrong or old note can colour every answer too.

Check your settings. Most tools let you see what is remembered, edit or delete single notes, switch memory off, or use a temporary chat that is not saved. Look there before you share anything sensitive.
