Memory

Models forget you the moment a chat ends. Memory is the fix - and in Cronus it lives on your machine, in files you own.

Why this matters

Compounding is the product

Every AI tool is smart on day one. Almost none are smarter on day thirty. An assistant that keeps lessons compounds - and compounding is the difference between a tool and a coworker.

The walkthrough

The Memory page

Your window into the memory service. If it is not running, the page says exactly that - honest gray, never fake green - with a check-again button. When it runs, agents retain what mattered from their work and recall it when it becomes relevant.

What actually gets remembered

Not transcripts - distillations. Preferences ("no hype words"), facts ("the lease renews in March"), and lessons ("the question-first follow-up got replies"). You can teach memory explicitly by saying it once, or let agents learn by doing.

Foresight: memory that notices

The Foresight page reads your accumulated memories looking for repeated manual work, and proposes automations for it - with time estimates that are labeled as estimates, never dressed up as measurements. Your stack does not just remember; it notices patterns you did not.

Yours, on disk

Memories are files on your machine. Read them, back them up, delete them - and if you ever switch model providers, your memory comes with you. No platform holds your brain hostage.
