This tutorial will show you how to manually save information to Copilot memory for your Microsoft account.
Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered digital assistant designed to help you with a range of tasks and activities.
When you sign in to Copilot with your Microsoft account Copilot uses your Microsoft account to provide personalized assistance and access by default to a wide range of features. For example, saving and syncing your Copilot chat history on all devices you sign in to Copilot with the same Microsoft account.
When personalization and memory is turned on (default), memory from conversations, Bing and MSN activity, and any inferred interests will be used to personalize your experience with Copilot. Copilot picks up on important details from your conversations, like “I prefer Python for data science” or “I’m working on Project Alpha,” and remembers them. Users can also tell Copilot "please remember I like using bullet points in my writing" and Copilot will log this as a memory. With memory, Copilot becomes more than just a helpful assistant—it becomes your assistant. It reduces repetitive input, speeds up task completion, and tailors its responses to your unique needs.
If Copilot comes across information that seems important to remember, it will ask you if you would like to save that information for future chats.
You can also tell Copilot to remember specific information in Copilot Chat.
Once Copilot has saved memories, you can manage those memories and even delete them from Copilot Memory.
