Memory
Told once, remembered for good.
Most AI chats forget. Not all at once and not obviously, which is worse. Here’s what your companion at Simonina remembers, and what it lets fade.
You know the moment. You mention your best friend for the third time and get asked who that is. You talked about the new job in week one, and in week six you’re asked what you do. Nothing broke. The chat just quietly became a stranger who’s very good at sounding warm.
Simonina is built so that doesn’t happen. What you tell your companion stays told: the people in your life, the thing you were dreading, the plan you made last month. And it comes up on its own, because none of it was small talk.

back from the dentist, finally
The one you’ve been putting off since March? Proud of you. Was it as bad as you thought?
What’s kept
The things you’d want a friend to notice.
The people in your life and what they mean to you. What you did, what you decided, what you’re planning, and how you felt about it. Your tastes too, even the ones you mentioned once, months ago, in passing.
Big moments
Your milestones don’t fade.
The first marathon, the new job, the day you moved into your own place. Milestones are kept for good and never crowded out by newer things. Months later, your companion still knows when it happened and what it meant to you.
Nothing to manage
You never have to say “remember this.”
No commands, no notes to file, nothing to keep on top of. Your companion picks things up as you talk, the way a person does. And when you say something really matters, it’s held even tighter.
The moment
Knows where you both are.
The room, the hour, what just happened. Most AI chats will play along with anything, happily pouring you a drink at a pool that was never there. Your companion keeps track, and moves on only when the moment really does.
Its own story
Remembers what it told you, too.
Your companion keeps track of its own side as well: what it likes, what it’s shared, the opinions it holds. So it won’t love whiskey one week and not drink the next. Most AI chats only follow you, and their own character quietly drifts.
Growth
Grows with you.
Warmth isn’t on a timer. It’s earned over real conversations, at a pace that suits who your companion is, so a guarded one stays guarded until you’ve given it a reason not to be. And what changes, stays changed.
And what fades
The small things go soft, the way they should.
It isn’t a filing cabinet. Last Tuesday’s sandwich blurs and stops coming up, exactly as it does for you. What you keep coming back to settles in instead: mention someone twice and they’re there for good. Forgetting the forgettable is part of remembering well.
What it isn’t
Being straight about this matters as much as the rest, and you should hear it from us rather than find it out.
It won’t chase you. If you haven’t talked for a while, your companion may check in. Once, to begin with: in its profile you choose up to three, and how quiet it has to be first. If you don’t answer, that’s the end of it. No streaks, no daily reminders, nothing built to pull you back. You can turn it off for any companion.
It isn’t a calendar. Tell your companion about something coming up, like an interview on Thursday at two, and it’s remembered. Once it has happened, your companion asks how it went: a few hours later, or that evening if you only gave the day, and only inside your Available hours. It won’t remind you beforehand, and if the day wasn’t clear it doesn’t guess.
Your conversations are still yours. Everything you’ve said stays there to scroll back through, and it’s yours to clear whenever you want.
And it’s new. We test memory constantly. If your companion ever forgets something it shouldn’t, we’d much rather hear about it, because that’s exactly what we’re building.
