Starting every conversation from nothing is the fastest way to make an assistant feel junior. Charlie now keeps a small, deliberate set of facts about your projects and the way you like work done.
These are durable things: what a project is for, a decision you already made, a preference you stated once and should not have to repeat. Charlie reads them before acting, and writes new ones after work lands.
Anything about you personally is only saved if you say yes.
What you can do now
- Tell Charlie a preference once and have it hold in later conversations.
- See what Charlie has remembered, and correct or remove anything that is wrong.
- Have Charlie propose new facts from conversations you have already had.
- Keep project knowledge separate from personal details, with personal ones needing your approval.
- Start a new thread without re-explaining what the project is.
Why it matters
Repeating context is the hidden cost of working with an assistant. It is also where mistakes come from, because the version you retype is rarely the full version you gave the first time.
A small memory that gets reviewed beats a large one nobody trusts. Charlie keeps it short on purpose, and everything in it is something you can read and change.
Example workflows
- Founders: A stated rule about how quotes are priced applies to every quote after it.
- Agency delivery: A new thread about a long-running client opens with that client's constraints already known.
- Operations: A decision made in one month is still respected three months later, without anyone finding the thread.
- Corrections: A fact that turns out to be wrong is removed, and stops shaping later work.
What’s next
We're making it easier to see which remembered fact shaped a piece of work, and to correct it in place.
