How Memory Works
As you interact with Sift, it learns:- Stable facts about you (major, semester, preferred study times)
- Working patterns (you like 90-minute focus blocks, you prefer mornings for hard tasks)
- Personal context (your advisor’s name, project deadlines, important dates)
Examples of Memory in Action

| ”When should I schedule study time?” → Generic suggestions | ”When should I schedule study time?” → Based on your past productive hours |
| ”Help me plan this assignment” → Standard breakdown | ”Help me plan this assignment” → Knows your typical work pace |
| ”What’s important this week?” → Just lists tasks | ”What’s important this week?” → Considers your priorities and patterns |
