Companion memory: what should stay, what you should clear
A practical Adults 18+ guide to AI companion memory: what continuity is useful for, what to delete, and how to keep private context under control.
Published 9 November 2026 · Adults 18+
Companion products sell continuity. Memory is useful when it keeps a relationship coherent—and harmful when it stores things you never meant to keep. This note stays practical: what to keep, what to clear, and what not to invent about the product UI.
What memory is for
- Names, boundaries, and tone preferences you explicitly set.
- Ongoing story beats you asked the character to remember.
- Safety lines you do not want renegotiated every session.
What you should clear
- One-off experiments and throwaway personas.
- Sensitive personal details you typed once and regret.
- Anything you would not want a shared device to resurface.
A weekly hygiene loop
- Skim recent memory or journal entries.
- Delete anything that is not part of the relationship you want next week.
- Re-state boundaries in one short message after big clears so tone does not drift.
