Memory
Fix bots that don't remember, remember the wrong thing, keep recalling something you corrected, or say learning isn't configured.
The bot forgets
You see
A bot doesn't remember anythingDo this
- Check the memory mode. Open the workspace memory settings (Team mapManage memory). It should be Capture and recall. Capture only stores but doesn't recall. Off and Paused stop recall.
- Check the place. A memory belongs to one conversation, bot, channel, team, project or the workspace. A bot only recalls from places it belongs to. A fact told to one bot isn't recalled by another unless you Share memory with it.
- Check the conversation isn't excluded. Excluded conversations aren't captured.
- Check after a restore. Restored memory stays paused until you review it.
You see
I forgot something but the bot still knows itDo this
Forgetting removes it from Murage. If the text is also in a file, the bot's notebook, House Rules or the current conversation, the bot can still read it there. Text already sent to a hosted AI provider in an earlier turn can't be recalled from that provider.
The bot remembers wrong
You see
A bot recalls something wrongDo this
Open the memory, choose Inspect memory, and read its sources.
- If the fact is wrong, Save correction. The correction becomes the current version.
- If it's no longer true, Archive memory.
- If it should never be used again, Forget memory.
Also check the bot's own notebook, MEMORY.md, in its working folder. A bot can keep repeating something it wrote there, and memory corrections don't edit the notebook. Open the file and fix or delete the line.
You see
It keeps using something I correctedDo this
- Check whether the old fact is pinned. Pinned memories stay at the front. Unpin it, then archive or correct it.
- Check the House Rules, the team brief and the bot's instructions. The bot reads those on every turn, so an old line there can outweigh a corrected memory. Bot settingsWhat shapes this bot the bot shows everything it reads.
- Start a new conversation. The old fact may still be in the current conversation's history.
Learning and search
You see
Learning isn't configuredDo this
Capture and recall work without it. Automatic learning (distilling facts and ways of working) only starts once you choose a connection to do the distilling in the memory settings. Choose an eligible API connection, or leave learning off.
You see
New learning never appearsDo this
If Review new learning before activation is on, new learning waits in Needs review until you approve it. Check there.
You see
Search seems weak or keyword-onlyDo this
- Smart (semantic) search needs the local model download. Check Local model in the memory settings.
- If the model is missing or damaged, Murage reports recall as degraded and falls back to keyword search. Download it again.
- Intel Macs use keyword search only in this release.
You see
The local model won't downloadDo this
Check your internet connection and free disk space, then try again. Murage checks the file's size and hashes and refuses a file that doesn't match, so a failed check means the download was incomplete or altered, not that your data is at risk.
Import, phone and older versions
You see
A memory import is refusedDo this
Import existing notes refuses a file that changed between the preview and the import, and files with links it doesn't allow. Preview again and import straight away.
You see
Memory settings are missing on my phoneDo this
Memory administration is only available in the desktop app.
You see
Murage won't start after going back to an older versionDo this
Some updates upgrade the memory database in a way older versions can't read. Reinstall the newer version, or read the release notes of the version you upgraded to for the supported way back.
