Teach Blake with memory
Pin lessons, Do and Don't rules, and style preferences so Blake writes and acts your way.
Blake Memory is where Blake stores the things you have taught it: how you write, what to avoid, and the rules that come up in the field. This article walks the memory system so Blake picks up your style faster.
Blake Memory is available from Scout and up. On Free, Blake learns from your workspace-wide history but does not retain per-user lessons.
Where memory lives
Open Settings > Memory. The page has a single search bar and three rails:
- Knowledge: facts about your business (products, positioning, references).
- Lessons: things you have taught Blake by example (do and don't rules, phrasing preferences).
- Learned: things Blake proposes to remember, waiting for your review.
Add a lesson
Click Add lesson on the Lessons rail. A lesson has:
- A short title so you can find it later.
- A kind: Do or Don't.
- A body: the rule itself, in plain language.
- A scope: My style (only affects your Ask Blake sessions) or Team playbook (applies to everyone in the workspace).
Team playbook lessons are Admin-only to add and remove.
Pin a lesson
Pinned lessons take priority when Blake writes or acts. Click the Pin icon on any lesson to lock it in. Pinned lessons show up first in the list and are always sent to Blake as high-signal context.
Use pin for the rules that matter most: things you want Blake to respect in every draft, every follow-up.
Categories
Every lesson is tagged with a category:
- STYLE: how you write (tone, opening lines, sign-off).
- FORMAT: how you structure emails (length, subject-line rules, bullet lists).
- DOMAIN: what your business does (industry jargon, product names).
- CONTEXT: workspace-wide facts (target market, ICP quirks).
- PERSONAL: personal preferences (working hours, out-of-office phrasing).
Blake learns which category to pull from depending on what you are asking for.
Learn from a correction
When you thumbs-down a Blake reply and add a comment ("Don't lead with price on cold outreach"), Blake proposes to learn a lesson from it. The proposal lands on the Learned rail with a preview: title, kind, body, scope. Approve it to save; reject to discard.
The active-lessons cap
Blake keeps up to 50 active lessons per user at once. When you go over, older or lower-priority lessons stop being sent as context. Pinned lessons never fall out of the active set.
If you approach the cap:
- Delete lessons that are out of date.
- Merge duplicates into one clearer lesson.
- Pin the ones that matter most so the cap does not silently drop them.
Export or delete your memory
Blake stores memory as data you own. From Settings > Agent > Configuration you can:
- Export Blake data as JSON.
- Delete all chats to clear conversation history.
- Delete preferences to reset your Ask Blake preferences.
Deleting memory is permanent. Blake never syncs deleted lessons to Brain or another workspace.
If Blake ignores a lesson
- Check that it is pinned if you want it to apply every time.
- Check the scope: My style lessons only affect your sessions; Team playbook applies to everyone.
- Check for conflicts: two lessons with contradictory rules cancel each other. Consolidate.
- The active-lessons cap is full: prune old or duplicate lessons.
