# Memory Overview

> Store important context that Flast remembers across all your conversations.

Memory is your personal knowledge base within Flast. Store information you want Flast to remember, and it will use that context to give you better, more personalized responses.

## Why Use Memory?

Without memory, every conversation starts from scratch. You have to re-explain your job, your projects, and your preferences each time.

With memory, Flast knows:

* Who you are and what you do
* Your current projects and goals
* Your preferences and work style
* Important context you want to reference

## How Memory Works

Memories are pieces of information you save. When you chat with Flast:

1. **"Always" memories** are automatically included in every conversation
2. **Normal memories** are available when you reference them with @ mentions

This means Flast can personalize responses without you repeating yourself.

## What to Store in Memory

Good candidates for memory include:

* **Your role and background**: "I'm a senior product designer at a fintech startup"
* **Current projects**: "Working on redesigning the checkout flow for mobile"
* **Preferences**: "I prefer concise responses with bullet points"
* **Goals**: "Trying to ship the MVP by end of Q2"
* **Style guides**: "Our brand voice is professional but friendly"

## Memory and Privacy

Your memories are private to your account. They are stored securely and used only to improve your Flast experience. Memories are not shared with other users or used to train AI models.

<Note>
  Pro and Ultra plans allow manual memory creation. On the Starter plan, memories are created automatically based on important context Flast identifies.
