My Memory

My Memory is the personal scope of OpsWorker AI Memory. Entries here are visible only to you. They follow you across every cluster you access (preferences) or are tied to a specific cluster as personal notes (facts).

What My Memory Contains

SubviewContentsUsed For
PreferencesHow you want the AI to write or behaveLoaded into every chat session you start
My Cluster NotesPersonal facts about a specific clusterLoaded when you select that cluster in chat or investigations

Personal Preferences

Preferences shape the AI's output style and approach. They're loaded automatically when you open AI Chat or when an investigation generates output you'll see.

Examples:

  • "Keep answers under 5 lines unless I ask for more."
  • "Always quote the exact log line you're referring to."
  • "Prefer specific kubectl commands over generic suggestions."
  • "Use UTC timestamps."

To create a preference:

  1. Open AI Memory → My Memory
  2. Click Create
  3. Select type Preference
  4. Enter the content and save

Preferences are not promoted to teammates — they only ever apply to your sessions.

My Cluster Notes

Personal cluster notes are facts you've discovered about a specific cluster but want to keep private (or aren't ready to share with the team yet). They behave like cluster-scoped facts but are visible only to you.

Examples of personal notes you might keep before promoting:

  • "The database-migrate Job sometimes hangs on Friday afternoons — likely related to the read replica refresh window."
  • "When payments-api returns 503s, check redis-master-0 first — historical pattern."
  • "I personally think the external-dns HPA target is too aggressive."

Personal notes appear in the AI Memory → My Memory → My Cluster Notes view. The cluster selector at the top controls which cluster's notes you're viewing.

Promoting a Personal Note

When a personal note becomes useful for the team, promote it to cluster memory:

  1. Open the note in My Cluster Notes
  2. Click Share with team (also labeled Promote to Cluster)
  3. Confirm

After promotion, the note is visible to everyone working on that cluster. Your personal copy stays as-is. See Promotion for details on the full promotion chain.

How the AI Uses My Memory

  • Preferences are loaded at the start of every chat session, so the AI matches your style from the first message.
  • My Cluster Notes are loaded when an investigation runs on the matching cluster, or when you start a chat session against that cluster.

The AI treats personal notes the same way it treats cluster memory — as ground truth context — but only when you're the one running the investigation or chat.

Best Practices

  • Use preferences for style, not content. "Be concise" is a preference. "The payments DB is in namespace X" is a fact.
  • Promote useful notes. If you find yourself referring to the same personal note twice, it probably belongs in cluster memory.
  • Review periodically. Memory accumulates. Once a quarter, scan your preferences and notes — delete what's stale.
  • Don't store secrets. Memory is not encrypted as a vault. Don't put API keys, passwords, or sensitive customer data in memory entries.
