Recall should feel like recognition, not surveillance.
2 October: you settle a disagreement
SAINT sometimes hears a statement that disagrees with something you told her earlier. She keeps what you told her and stores the other statement beside it. Until now the Memory page showed only how many of these she held.
The page now shows each one in its own words, with its source and date where we recorded them. You can keep what SAINT has, and we delete the other statement. You can use the other statement instead, and it replaces the memory as your correction.
This applies to the private pilot. SAINT does not yet ask you about a disagreement in conversation, so you see it when you open the page.
15 September: fewer words shared for transcription
We have reduced the vocabulary we share for private-pilot voice calls. We no longer add recent email sender names or fixed lists of places, shops and seasonal words to your call's transcription hints.
We keep SAINT's name, your first name and up to ten words you have corrected. Twilio receives this vocabulary, and the transcription service can use it to recognise those words. We use only active spelling corrections from your own memory. You can remove a correction through the existing memory controls to stop including it in future calls.
This change applies to the private pilot. We still need call evidence to measure its effect on recognition. A smaller hint list may leave some unfamiliar names harder to transcribe.
What changed
A conversation no longer has to contain the same keyword as the question that retrieves it. Ask about “that thing with the boiler” and SAINT can find a substantial exchange from months earlier, even if the original conversation used different words.
This joins semantic conversation recall to the existing search by person, phrase and date. The result is still the smallest useful account: who said what, when it happened and enough surrounding context to understand it.
Memory has a door
The private Memory page now gathers the things SAINT is carrying forward. Each item keeps its source and date. A person can correct it, remove one memory or ask SAINT to forget everything.
Repeated observations now support one canonical claim instead of appearing as several paraphrases. Quiet hours and VIP breakthrough remain in their dedicated settings, while a correction outranks an inference and the earlier wording remains available as evidence rather than competing in every conversation.
That visibility matters more as recall improves. A private secretary should not ask for blind trust in an invisible profile.
Retention remains the boundary
The meaning index stores a reference to the original message, not a second copy of its content. Recall returns to the retained conversation record before it can answer. When that record is removed by retention or by the person, it stops being retrievable.
This release improves finding. It does not widen what SAINT is allowed to keep.
