# Niyra remembers


You have a long conversation with most AI assistants and then start fresh tomorrow. Niyra doesn't work that way.

## How it works

Niyra's memory has three layers:

**1. Session search.** Every conversation Niyra has had is indexed with full-text and semantic search. When you say "how did we handle that last quarter?", she finds the actual conversation and quotes the relevant exchange.

**2. Vector memory.** When you tell Niyra something worth keeping — a preference, a fact, a date, a person — she distills it into a structured memory and stores it with an embedding. Categories: preference, fact, person, place, date, work, health, finance, general.

**3. Records.** For structured data with expiry — vehicles, policies, subscriptions, holdings — Niyra uses typed records with reminders. (See [Records](/features/records).)

## What she remembers

- **Preferences.** "I prefer 9am meetings, not before."
- **People.** Names, roles, kids, anniversaries, last conversation.
- **Dates.** Birthdays, renewals, insurance expiry, exam dates.
- **Decisions.** Past choices you can refer back to.
- **Working style.** How you write, what you skip, what you delegate.

## What she forgets (on purpose)

- One-off chitchat with no actionable signal.
- Anything you say "don't remember this" about.
- Anything you delete from the Memories panel.

## Why it matters

Most assistants either give you no memory (start fresh every conversation) or give you "infinite context" (remember literally everything, including the noise). Niyra picks what's worth keeping — the same way a good chief of staff does. You don't have to manage her memory; you can if you want to.

## Try it

The fastest way to see the difference: tell Niyra something on Monday, ask her on Friday. She'll answer like she heard you the first time.
