Now Available: See, Edit, and Control What Rovo Remembers About You

[#1]

Rovo has been quietly getting to know you for a while. Every issue you touch, every page you write, every PR you review flows into the Teamwork Graph. Rovo uses that to personalize what it shows you and how it helps.

Up to now, that’s all been behind a one-way mirror. Rovo could see in. You couldn’t. You couldn’t see what it had learned, correct it when it was wrong, or say, “That Aurora project? I shipped it in Q1, remember to stop surfacing it in every summary.”

That changes today. Profile Memory in Rovo Chat is now generally available, giving every user:

• A clear view of what Rovo knows about them

• Simple controls to shape, correct, or delete that memory

I’m Manav Trivedi, Senior Product Manager on Rovo Chat. Here’s how Rovo Memory works and how to get real value from it.

🧠 Two kinds of memory

Rovo Memory is built from two sources:

• Implicit memory

  • What Rovo infers from your Teamwork Graph activity

  • Includes your role, projects, collaborators, and the work you keep coming back to

  • Powers “day-one” personalization, even before you’ve told Rovo anything directly

• Explicit memory

  • The instructions you deliberately give Rovo

  • Examples: “Always use Australian English.” “Never use emojis.” “Always add a TL;DR to every page you create.”

  • Say it once and it persists across chats and sessions

Together, they make Rovo feel less like “an AI assistant” and more like your assistant.

🎛️ The controls you now have

Open Rovo Chat → … menu → Settings and Memory to:

• See it

  • Read the profile Rovo has built: how it describes your work, projects, collaborators, and the saved items (docs, tickets, links) it’s holding onto.

• Suggest edits to your summary

  • Propose changes to your profile summary (e.g., remove an old project, update your focus area).

  • You’ll see your summary updated within 24 hours.

• Delete explicit instructions

  • Remove past instructions you no longer want Rovo to follow.

  • Once deleted, Rovo stops using that explicit preference.

• Toggle chat-derived memory

  • Turn chat-derived memory on or off.

  • Use a single control to delete all chat-derived memory if you want a clean slate.

You stay in control: you can see what exists, refine it, or wipe it.

💡 A concrete example

Say you write a weekly status update every Friday.

• The first few times, you tell Rovo what you want:

  • Bullet points

  • Grouped by project

  • Blockers at the top

  • No fluffy intro

• Then you say: “Remember this as my preferred weekly update format.”

From that point on, every Friday you can just say “Draft my weekly update” and Rovo:

• Uses your structure

• Writes in your voice

• Pulls in the right work and projects

Change teams or change your format? Open Memory, update the preference, and Rovo adjusts.

⚖️ Implicit vs Explicit vs Your Controls

	What it does	Best for	Example
Implicit	Learns automatically from your Teamwork Graph activity	Day‑one usefulness, cold starts, ambient personalization	“Rovo already knows I’m a PM focused on Rovo Chat.”
Explicit	Durable rules you set yourself	Format preferences, tone, hard rules	“Always lead with a TL;DR. Never use emojis.”
Memory	See / suggest edits / delete / toggle everything	Trust, correctness, privacy	Delete: “Aurora project, shipped in Q1.”

The combination is what makes Rovo both smart and correctable.

🧹 A few housekeeping details

• Per user, per site

  • Your memory is scoped to each site. What Rovo learns about you on one site doesn’t bleed into another.

• First‑run experience

  • The next time users open Rovo Chat, they’ll see a coachmark introducing memory with a direct link into Memory settings.

---

Rovo Memory is what turns Rovo from “an AI assistant” into your assistant:

• It knows what’s happening across your work via the Teamwork Graph

• It knows how you like to work because you told it

• And now, you can see all of that, fix any of it, and delete what you don’t want — whenever you want

What did Rovo get right about you? What was the first memory you saved or deleted?

@Manav Trivedi - cheers for this useful article! Rovo assumed because I setup some spaces for teams, I was part of those teams. A short prompt later, that information was corrected. Overall it got most things right. Thanks for sharing.🎯

[Peter Norris]

Hi @Manav Trivedi a really interesting article and great enhancement!

Forgive my lack of experience here, but a basic question....

In your example you talk about a weekly report, and how I would explictly tell Rovo to remember my preference for that report.

I notice that I can also go into Rovo memory --> Information you've shared directly and Add new memory.

How would one use this functionality? Can you give an example or two please?

Pete.

This sounds really promising! I'll have to give it a bit more detailed try.

@Peter Norris I did create page from ChatGPT where I asked it to create a Confluence page based on what it 'knows about me.' I was then thinking of adding that same page as additional memory to rovo with something like:

Please use this page to learn more about me: <CONFLUENCE-URL>

To potentially have a source of truth there.

Anyway, we'll see how that will go... 👀
