Overview
Taskade EVE keeps two kinds of persistent memory. Account preferences follow you across workspaces. Project memory keeps context with the workspace where the work happened. You can review and change both without erasing your chats, projects, or agent knowledge.
TL;DR: Taskade EVE separates personal preferences from workspace context. Edit or clear account-wide instructions under Settings → Account → What EVE remembers about you. Keep app decisions and project facts in workspace memory projects. Use Workspace DNA to connect that Memory with agents and automations.
Separate the Two Kinds of Memory
Use the kind that matches how long and how widely Taskade EVE must apply a fact.
| Kind of memory | What it stores | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Account preferences | Standing instructions such as answer length, writing style, or preferred format | Every workspace that you use |
| Workspace project memory | Decisions, context, and facts about an app or project | The workspace that owns the memory project |
Taskade EVE stores account preferences in /user/PREFERENCES.md. Workspace memory projects live in projects/memory/. The older projects/memories/ path still works for reading. These paths describe Taskade EVE's workspace system. Use the settings screen and normal Taskade Projects to manage the content.
Manage Account Preferences
Save a standing preference when you want Taskade EVE to use it across workspaces.
- Open Settings → Account.
- Find What EVE remembers about you.
- Review or edit the saved instructions.
- Select Save.
You can also ask Taskade EVE to remember a preference during a conversation. Taskade EVE reads this text before helping you.
Clear Account Preferences
Clear the account memory when you want to remove all standing preferences.
- Open Settings → Account.
- Find What EVE remembers about you.
- Select Clear.
This action clears the preference text only. It does not delete projects, chats, automations, or agent knowledge.
Manage Workspace Project Memory
Use workspace memory for facts that belong to one app, customer, process, or decision history. Taskade EVE stores this context in real Taskade Projects, so the information stays with the workspace instead of following your account everywhere.
- Ask Taskade EVE to remember a decision for the current workspace.
- Open the related memory Project to review its tasks and notes.
- Correct or remove obsolete facts in that Project.
- Keep credentials and secrets out of memory. Store them in the approved connection or secret field instead.
Tidy Up Workspace Memory
Taskade EVE keeps a workspace memory project named TASKS.md. Its Done section logs finished work. Its Knowledge section keeps the facts that Taskade EVE learned in that workspace.
When you start working with Taskade EVE, it can tidy this project in the background. This happens at most once a day, and only after enough new work lands. The tidy-up merges overlapping notes into one entry. It moves the original notes to an Archive section, so nothing is deleted and you can recover any note. The tidy-up uses no AI credits.
To ask for the tidy-up now:
- Open a Taskade EVE chat in the workspace.
- Type
/dream, or pick Tidy up memory from the command menu. - Send the message.
The request needs a finished build first, because a new workspace has no TASKS.md yet. The tidy-up skips a request in these cases:
- It ran in the last 10 minutes.
- It finds nothing to merge.
- The workspace is over its AI limit.
See What Taskade EVE Looked Up
Open DNA Map in the workspace sidebar to see which memory projects Taskade EVE searched or opened for you. A marked project shows a light blue ring and a small spark badge. Click the project to see when Taskade EVE last used it. For a search, the panel also shows the words that Taskade EVE searched for. Each person sees only the trail from their own chats, and the map keeps it for 7 days. See Workspace DNA Graph for how to read the map.
Connect Memory to Workspace DNA
Memory is the first part of the Workspace DNA loop. It gives agents context. Agents help make decisions. Automations carry those decisions into action and produce new project context.
