Memory

Memory is the Slate agent’s durable mind. It’s where the agent keeps what it has learned about your brand, your priorities, and what works — written as documents you can read, edit, and approve.

​

Where to Find It

Go to Assets → Memory in the sidebar. The page header shows the agent, its autonomy mode, when it was last active, and a search box (“Search its mind…”).

​

Leaving a Note for the Agent

Click Add a note / ask at the top to leave a correction, instruction, or request. The agent reads it on its next wake-up. Notes are logged into its Commitments — the agent’s working memory of open loops.

​

The Two Tabs

​

Today

A daily view of what the agent is doing and what needs you, in five sections: Needs your attention, Activity timeline, Tasks, Results, and Autonomy & controls. From here you can approve or reject the agent’s proposals, snooze or dismiss attention items, and adjust its autonomy mode. When nothing is pending, it says so — “Nothing needs you.” To change the autonomy mode, click manage controls under Autonomy & controls:

• observe — autonomous runs are read-only.
• assist — every write waits for your approval.
• autopilot — granted categories act on their own, within their weekly caps.

To grant a category, click Grant auto next to it. The grant’s weekly limit comes from weekly cap for new grants (10 by default). Click Revoke to remove a grant.

​

Files

The memory itself: markdown documents the agent maintains, with revision history and your approval on changes. Three doctrine files anchor the mind: Around them, folders hold the agent’s research, initiatives, entity notes (pages, competitors, keywords, topics), journal, and inbox.

​

How Memory Gets Written

• The agent proposes changes from its runs and scheduled maintenance. Proposed changes appear as Pending change with Approve / Reject buttons and a diff (See what changes).
• You edit files — open a file, click Edit, make changes, add a one-line change note, and click Save. Edits to the Mandate are saved as a proposal instead, and Mandate changes apply after approval.
• Your notes from the composer land in Commitments.

Every file keeps a History of revisions — view the document at any point, see what changed, and jump to the run that wrote it. If the mind is empty, Slate offers to Draft the mandate — a starting mission you review and approve.

​

Removing Memories

Files are archived, not hard-deleted: Discard moves a file to archived and it stops informing the agent. Edit and save an archived file to restore it.
