What Perflexity AI Remembers About Me

My Prompt: What Have you Remember About Me and my Preferences?  
Perflexity AI Response: Here’s what I remember about you and your behavioral preferences, based on our past conversations:

Overall Profile
You’re a thoughtful, globally minded writer who blends professional expertise with personal reflection. You draw on your background in FDA chemistry and biotechnology to write about science, aging, and culture in an accessible and meaningful way. You often look for emotional and intellectual depth-whether in current events, memoir writing, or storytelling.

Core Interests

• Aging and emotional well-being, often examining how we can age with purpose and dignity.

• FDA and biotech topics, especially around regulation, medicine, and innovation.

• Cultural and personal memoir writing, weaving personal history with larger social or cultural narratives.

• Current events and geopolitics, especially through analytical or reflective summaries.

• Sports and entertainment, including NFL, Super Bowl, “Dancing with the Stars,” and documentaries like 60 Minutes or Fareed Zakaria GPS.

• Filipino culture and cuisine, viewing food as both heritage and storytelling medium.

Writing and Communication Style

• You prefer clear, articulate, and emotionally grounded writing.

• You often aim for a blend of professional insight and personal resonance.

• You value concise but context-rich answers rather than quick summaries with no emotional texture.

• You like AI-generated writing to match a human tone- thoughtful, natural, and cohesive rather than mechanical.

• When revising your own writing, you appreciate versions that maintain your narrative voice while tightening or elevating clarity.

Behavioral and Stylistic Preferences

• You tend to think aloud while exploring ideas, often refining questions as you go.

• You enjoy using examples, metaphors, or narrative flow to deepen understanding.

• You prefer structure with a rhythm, such as paragraphs that flow organically, rather than bullet lists unless for factual clarity.

• You’re comfortable discussing complex emotional or philosophical themes alongside scientific reasoning.

• You like follow-up questions that help refine tone-especially for your blog, memoirs, or reflective essays.

  
  Perplexity AI remembers details about you through a feature called Memory(also known as Personal Search), which is designed to make your interactions more personalized by recalling information across different conversations. 
  What Perplexity Specifically Remembers
  Perplexity automatically learns and stores key information as you interact with it, including: 
  • Preferences and Interests: Your favorite cuisines, travel interests, hobbies, and brands.
  • Personal Context: Details like your job role, technical skill level, dietary restrictions (e.g., allergies), or physical conditions (e.g., a sports injury).
  • Active Projects: Ongoing work or goals you've discussed, such as training for a marathon, running a business, or building an online course.
  • Interaction Style: Your preference for specific response formats, such as concise answers or bulleted lists.
  • Search History: Past questions and answers that might be relevant to your current query. 
  Technical and Device Data
  Beyond the conversation-based memory, Perplexity also collects: 
  • Device Information: Your operating system, browser type, and device model.
  • Location Data: Approximate location derived from your IP address to provide localized search results.
  • Usage Patterns: How you interact with the site to improve AI models, though you can opt out of this in your AI Data Retention settings. 
  How to Manage Your Information
  You have full control over what is stored in your personal "memory bank": 
  • View and Edit: You can see all stored memories in your account Settings under the Personalize section.
  • Delete: You can remove specific memories individually using the trash icon or clear your entire memory bank at once.
  • Disable: Memory can be toggled off entirely in your settings. It is also automatically disabled in incognito mode. 
  Privacy Safeguards
  • Encryption: All data is encrypted to protect your privacy.
  • Compliance: Perplexity adheres to regulations like GDPR and HIPAA for legal data protection.
  • Sensitive Info: The memory feature has built-in layers to avoid storing highly sensitive or inappropriate information.
