# Memories

:::warning
Memories is a legacy Chat feature. The Chat tab is being removed progressively — Enterprise organizations may still have access during the six-month migration window.

If you no longer have access, use the equivalent: [Knowledge Base](/vibe/work/knowledge), which stores a broader range of information and is available in the unified experience.
:::

Memories lets Vibe **remember key details about you**, such as your preferences, interests, and working context, based on your past interactions.

Instead of repeating yourself every conversation, Memories keeps that information available so responses stay relevant and personalized.

Vibe can save details in two ways:

- **Explicit saving**: ask Vibe to save something specific. For example, *"Remember that I prefer concise answers"* or *"Remember that I work with TypeScript."*
- **Automatic saving**: Vibe may also pick up useful details from your conversations on its own. If you mention recurring preferences or context, it might store them to improve future interactions.

Saved Memories are recalled automatically when they're relevant to a new conversation.

:::info
Memories only stores information you've explicitly included in your prompts. It won't infer details you haven't communicated. Vibe is also designed not to remember sensitive data such as social security numbers or banking information.

You can turn on Memories in two ways:

1. Select the **Chat** tab in the sidebar.
2. Click the `Enable Memories` button in the pop-up that appears the first time you log in.
3. Or open the `Memories` tab under the `Intelligence` menu on the left-hand side of your screen. Click the three dots `...` and toggle `Memories in Vibe` on.

You'll see a confirmation message once Memories is active.

All your Memories appear in the `Memories` tab, listed from newest to oldest. You have full control over what's stored:

- **View**: open the `Memories` tab to see everything Vibe has saved.
- **Edit**: click the pencil icon next to a memory, make your changes in the popup, and confirm.
- **Delete one**: click the trash icon next to a memory and confirm the deletion.
- **Delete all**: click the three dots `...` at the top-right of the `Memories` tab, select `Clear all Memories`, and confirm. This action is irreversible.

You can also ask Vibe to remove specific Memories in conversation. For example, *"Forget that I mentioned my location."*

Open the `Memories` tab and toggle the Memories button off.

:::caution
Turning off Memories doesn't automatically delete your stored Memories. If you want to remove them, click `Clear all Memories` before deactivating.
