What does Nova remember, and how do I delete an entry?

Goal

See what Nova has remembered about you, and change or delete an entry.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Nova remembers something when you say so. “Remember that …” saves right away.
  2. Without your request, the most you get is the card Remember?. Only your yes creates the entry.
  3. Settings, Memory & history, the Entries tab. The card is titled Nova remembers. On top are Active, For review, and Archive, each with its number of entries.
  4. Active entries flow into answers, at most 15 relevant ones per request. For review collects uncertain suggestions. Confirm makes them active.
  5. Edit changes the text. Archive moves the entry to the archive. Delete asks: “Really delete this entry? This cannot be undone.”
  6. Rules such as “Don’t remember jokes” carry the tag Exclusion. Nova then suggests nothing of that kind.
  7. By voice: “What do you know about me?” reads the list. “Forget that …” deletes without a card.

Example

“Remember that I prefer tea to coffee.” The sentence then shows under Active.

Common problems

  • “Forget …” deletes every entry that matches your words, even several. For exactly one entry, use Delete in the list.
  • Clear conversation in the Data tab only clears the conversation history. The entries stay.
  • From 500 entries on, Nova merges the oldest into a single entry.
  • With the Nova Chat pack, the chat has a memory of its own. It is not in this list.
