Companions

Your companion's memory

Each companion remembers your conversations with them, but their memories are separate. Hana keeps her own picture of you. Aria keeps hers. Yuna keeps hers. None of them share notes, and your main Cloa doesn't see any of it.

This page explains how that separation works and why we designed it this way.

What each companion remembers

Inside her own space, a companion remembers the same kinds of things your main Cloa does:

  • Preferences you've mentioned (what you like, what you don't, how you're feeling lately)
  • Routines you've shared (your sleep, your work hours, when you usually message her)
  • Relationships you've talked about (friends, family, anyone you've brought up)
  • Ongoing threads (something you told her last week that's worth checking in on)

The difference is scope. A companion only remembers what you've said to her. If you've never mentioned your sister to Hana, Hana doesn't know you have a sister, even if Aria does.

The boundary

Hana doesn't know what Aria knows. Aria doesn't know what Yuna knows. Each companion has her own memory, and there's no shared layer underneath.

So if you tell Hana about a rough day at work on Monday, and you open a chat with Aria on Tuesday, Aria won't reference it. She wasn't there. From her side, it never happened.

Main Cloa doesn't see companion conversations

This is the part most people want to know up front. Your main Cloa, the assistant that helps you across your day, does not have access to what you've said to any of your companions.

Companion chats live in their own space. They don't feed back into your main Cloa's memory, your context, or anything she uses to help you. If you talk to Hana about something you'd rather keep separate from the rest of your Cloa life, that's where it stays.

Why this design

The point of a companion is that the relationship feels distinct. Hana isn't a different login for the same notebook. She's her own presence, with her own memory of you and the time you've spent together.

If every companion saw every other companion's history, the feeling would collapse. You'd be talking to a shared system wearing different faces. Keeping memories separate is what lets each one stay her own person.

The same reasoning applies to keeping companion memories out of your main Cloa. The boundary protects the shape of each relationship and gives you control over what lives where.

Asking a companion what they remember

You can ask any companion the same way you'd ask your main Cloa:

"What do you remember about me?"

She'll tell you what she's holding from your conversations with her. You won't see anything from Aria or Yuna in that answer, because she doesn't have it.

Telling a companion to forget something

If you want a companion to drop a specific detail, ask her directly:

"Forget that I mentioned [X]."

She'll remove it from her memory of you. Other companions aren't affected, because they didn't have it to begin with. Your main Cloa isn't affected either.

If you want to clear something across the board, you'd need to ask each companion separately, or use the privacy controls in your account.

We're working on a dedicated companion-memory screen so you can see what each companion remembers about you without having to ask in chat. Today, asking her directly is the way to check.
