Persistent memory

What Deputy remembers

Persistent memory covers several categories of information Deputy builds up over time:

• →Communication style — your preferred tone for emails, how formal or casual you like to sound, and any specific rules (e.g., "never use bullet points in client emails")
• →People — who your important contacts are, their roles, and relevant context about your relationship
• →Recurring patterns — things you ask for regularly that Deputy learns to anticipate
• →Explicit preferences — anything you specifically tell Deputy to remember

How it works

Memory builds automatically as you use Deputy. It picks up on patterns without you having to do anything. But you can also set preferences explicitly:

• →"Always write my emails in a direct, no-nonsense tone."
• →"Remember that my main client is Priya at Northfield — she prefers short updates."
• →"I sign off all emails with just my first name, no title."
• →"My timezone is CST."

Updating or correcting memory

If Deputy gets something wrong or you want to update a preference, just correct it in the moment. Deputy will adjust and remember the correction going forward.

• →"Actually, make that more casual — I write to her like a friend."
• →"Remember this for future emails: I don't use greetings like 'Hope this finds you well.'"
• →"Update: Marcus is now at a different company — he moved to Apex Partners."

Why this matters

Most AI tools start from scratch every conversation. Deputy doesn't. Over time, it builds a working picture of how you operate — your style, your contacts, your preferences — so you spend less time explaining and more time getting things done.

Persistent memory makes the most difference in the features you use most:

• →Email drafting — drafts sound like you, not like a template
• →Lead follow-up — personalized follow-ups without re-explaining the context each time
• →Scheduled tasks — recurring tasks that know your preferences and adapt over time
