Description

Memory lets mentorAI remember what you share about yourself—then use it to personalize future answers. By default, Memory is on. When Reference Saved Memories is enabled by your school, the mentor can actively draw on your saved memories (e.g., personal info, knowledge gaps, help requests, lessons learned) to tailor replies and progress checks.


Target Audience

Student


Features

On by Default

Your mentor remembers details you tell it during chat
(e.g., “I’m new to Linux,” “I want help with citations”).

Reference Saved Memories (Institution Toggle)

When enabled, mentorAI uses your saved memories to customize answers and study plans.

Memory Categories

  • Personal Information – major, interests, preferences
  • Knowledge Gaps – topics you find difficult
  • Help Requests – areas you asked support for
  • Lessons Learned – what you’ve mastered recently

Instructor Insight (Read-Only for Students)

Instructors and admins can search for a student, review high-level memory,
and (on their side) add or edit entries to better support you.


How to Use (step by step)

Chat Normally

Share goals, strengths, and struggles as you work. Memory captures helpful details automatically.

Ask Memory-Aware Questions

Try asking:

  • “Summarize my progress and knowledge gaps.”
  • “Based on my history, what should I study next?”
  • “Remind me what I asked about Linux and why it matters.”

Get Tailored Guidance

mentorAI pulls from your previous chats (and, when enabled, your saved memories) to provide targeted suggestions, quizzes, and resources.

Keep It Up-to-Date

If something changes—new major, goal, or challenge— tell the mentor so Memory stays current.

See the Benefit Over Time

As your history grows, replies become more specific to you
(e.g., deeper Linux practice if you’ve asked “What is Linux?” and “What is its purpose?”).


Pedagogical Use Cases

Personalized Study Plans

Generate next-step study plans that reflect your knowledge gaps and lessons learned.

Targeted Remediation

Ask for drills or practice on weak topics the mentor already knows you struggle with.

Progress Reviews

Request periodic summaries of what you’ve asked, learned, and what to focus on next.

Preference-Aware Support

Small facts (even favorites) can be saved—useful for examples, motivation, and tone.


Notes for Students

  • Memory helps mentorAI personalize your experience; you won’t see admin tools.
  • If your school enables Reference Saved Memories, the mentor’s responses will more explicitly reflect your saved profile.
