Some AI platforms offer persistent memory across sessions, while others reset between conversations—and understanding which mode you're in changes how you approach continuity in ongoing projects. Session-based recall requires you to manage context yourself, while persistent modes let you build on previous conversations, each with real tradeoffs for privacy and clarity.
AI memory modes describe whether an AI system retains information about a user across separate conversations (persistent memory) or forgets everything once a session ends (session-based recall), which fundamentally affects how personalized and context-aware future interactions can be.
Knowing which memory mode your AI tool uses helps you decide how much context to re-provide at the start of each conversation and whether you can rely on the AI to remember your preferences, goals, or past decisions over time.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
