Pick up the thread without rebuilding the whole backstory. Ghost can retain useful preferences and retrieve relevant saved work history, so earlier conversations, meeting context, and decisions can inform what you do next.

Why did we hold the Atlas rollout?
The earlier review recorded two conditions: confirmation from both blocker owners and a closer look at onboarding friction.
Source: saved Atlas weekly discussion. That explains the decision then—not whether those conditions are still open today.Memory is more useful when you can follow it back to evidence. Watch Ghost find an earlier decision, inspect the source, and separate the past from the current state.
You do not need to remember the exact wording of an old conversation. Give ghost the project, person, or decision, and the part you want to understand.
“Why did we hold the Atlas rollout, and is that still the plan?”
ghost searches retained context for the specific topic. Relevant matches point toward the notes, meetings, or saved sources that can explain the decision.
When the question is about why, what changed, or an important detail, ghost can read the source record. Current notes and tasks help distinguish an old decision from a later update.
The meeting record ties the hold to two missing confirmations.
The newer readiness note records the change. Onboarding remains a separate risk.
ghost can explain the change without treating the old plan as current fact. Keep the sources available, then use the verified context in the next meeting, note, or task.
“The rollout was held while two owner confirmations were missing. The later note says both arrived. Onboarding is still open; I do not have a confirmed release decision after that.”
Illustrative retained history. Memory retrieves saved context, not everything on your computer, and does not guarantee exhaustive recall.
An AI with memory can use relevant information from earlier work, not just the current conversation. Ghost combines saved user preferences with searchable work history. Preferences help it adapt to you; retained history helps it find earlier conversations and decisions when they matter.
“Keep my briefs short” and “we held the rollout last Tuesday” should not be stored as the same kind of fact. Ghost separates your profile preferences from the evidence about your work.
Save useful writing preferences, recurring requirements, tool habits, or ways you like work presented. Ask Ghost to update a preference when it changes instead of carrying an outdated instruction forward.
Temporary personal context can have an expiry. A requirement for the next week does not have to become a permanent rule.
Retained completed conversations and finalized meeting context can help recover a decision, its rationale, or the sequence of changes. Ghost can search relevant history and inspect the saved source when more detail is needed.
Project decisions belong with the work history, notes, or current records—not mixed into a general profile of you.
Ask what drove a choice, what changed, or what a previous conversation said. Ghost can retrieve relevant saved context rather than relying only on the most recent messages.
When a short result is not enough, it can inspect the underlying saved source. That gives the answer a basis in what was recorded, with a distinction between the evidence and any inference drawn from it.
For the meeting-specific story—earlier discussions, speakers, summaries, and transcripts—explore meeting memory. This page covers the broader continuity across your work.
Ask what profile preferences Ghost has saved, correct one, or ask it to forget a matching profile fact. Keeping a useful preference should not mean leaving it unchanged forever.
You can also ask for temporary profile context to expire. For example, a week of concise travel-day replies can have a time limit, while your usual writing preference remains separate.
These controls apply to profile memory. Forgetting a preference is not a promise that original conversations, saved work history, or every other record are erased.
Long-term memory can explain why a task exists. It does not prove the task is still open. Ghost can check the current to-do list, open the relevant saved note, or use the right live source when today’s state matters.
That also keeps AI memory distinct from your documents. Notes are editable working records; retained history supports recall. Useful context may connect them, but searching history is not a substitute for inspecting the current note. For reusable procedures rather than personal facts, explore workflow memory.
Retrieval is selective and can miss information. Not every reply needs a memory search, not every historical source is available, and old evidence can be incomplete or superseded. The goal is useful context—not a claim of perfect recall.
Product details
Supported work, useful outputs, and what to check before you start.
Ghost is a personal AI assistant for Mac. Meetings, Notes, To-dos, Browser, and Memory are capabilities of the same product, with linked records and context you can bring into the next task.
Memory can explain an earlier decision; Meetings and Notes preserve the detailed records. Check the current To-do or ask Ghost to read the live page in your Browser before deciding what to do next.
It can retain useful preferences and completed work history for later assistance. Relevant saved context can be retrieved in a later conversation. Coverage depends on what was retained and what retrieval finds; it is not a guarantee that every detail will return.
The current conversation supplies immediate context. Saved preferences and retained history can remain useful after that conversation ends. Ghost retrieves relevant history when it helps; it does not load all past work into every answer.
Useful recurring requirements, writing preferences, tool habits, or personal workflow preferences can belong in profile memory. A project-specific decision or current task status belongs with work history, notes, or task records instead.
You can ask to inspect, update, or forget saved profile preferences. These controls apply to your profile; they do not delete source conversations or other work-history records.
Yes. Temporary profile context can have an expiry, while durable preferences can remain active. This does not mean all work-history sources have the same expiry controls.
No. Notes are structured working documents, and Meetings preserve meeting records. Memory helps bring relevant retained context into later work without replacing those detailed sources.
Yes. A saved source can establish what was recorded at the time, not automatically what is true now. Current tasks, notes, accounts, and public information may need to be checked separately.
No. Ghost’s memory draws on saved preferences and retained work history, not a continuous archive of every website, file, or connected account. What it can recall depends on what was saved and what the search finds.
Keep useful preferences and bring relevant earlier context into the next conversation. Ghost is in private beta for macOS.
