What It Remembers
Teach it once. It reads its own notes before every draft, and you can see and delete all of them.
Memory holds standing facts about how you work, so you do not re-explain your voice, your ICP and your naming conventions every week.
Teaching It
Say it in a thread, or use the command:
Remember: we say "buyers", never "prospects". Every post opens with a number./surface remember we never use exclamation marksCorrections count too. Tell it it got something wrong and the correction is saved.
Two Scopes
| Scope | Set with | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | "Remember: …" | Everyone in the workspace |
| Channel | "Remember for this channel: …" | Only that channel, for project-specific context |
"Remember for this channel: this is the Q4 launch, the deadline is 3 Nov, Mahdin owns copy."
Seeing and Deleting It
Open SAM's Home tab in Slack. What I remember about you lists every note with a Forget button. Or ask: "What do you remember about us?" / "Forget the old ICP note."
Forget is permanent.
Memory vs the Vault
| Use for | Lives in | |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Short standing facts about how you work: voice rules, naming, who owns what | SAM's own notes, per workspace or channel |
| Vault | Documents worth keeping: an ICP, a positioning cut, a research write-up | Your Surface Vault, as dated Markdown under slack/ |
An answer that's a document gets a Save in Vault button under it. One click files it in your Vault, and SAM reads the Vault before every future draft.
In a Slack Connect channel, only your own team can leave SAM standing instructions. Guests can ask questions; nothing they say outlives the conversation.
