Most assistants start from nothing. Maison keeps one memory of your work, your people and your decisions, and it is still there next month.
Who everyone is to you, what you decided, and why. So nothing gets reopened six weeks later.
The call you promised, the renewal you mentioned in spring. It reminds you while it still counts.
Conversations are examples.
Yes. Maison keeps one continuous memory rather than a session. It holds what happened, what it meant and what to do about it next time, along with every person you have mentioned and every decision and the reason behind it. You never introduce yourself twice.
Less than they used to. ChatGPT and Claude both keep memory across conversations now, so that part of the complaint is out of date. What they keep is a summary of you, held on their servers, inside their app. They have never seen your files, your projects or your deliverables, and they cannot act on them. The intelligence is the cheap part. Your work is the expensive part.
In a private database on your own disk. Everything Maison comes to know about you is a file you own and can read, copy, back up or delete without asking anyone. Keeping it on your machine is the default and it is included.
Less than people expect. Six months of the heaviest daily use we have measured came to 1.2 GB. That is why keeping it on your own machine costs you almost nothing, and why we would rather you did.
Yes. The memory sits beside the model rather than inside it, so it survives restarts, software upgrades, and changing the model underneath for a newer one. A better model arriving does not cost you the relationship.
Yes. It is plain files in a database on your drive, not a black box. You can open it, copy it, or delete any of it, and if you walk away from Maison entirely the memory is still there and still yours.
