Lesson 3 · 15 min
Change how the assistant speaks and save facts for another conversation. Since v2.0.1, “remember that…” is saved directly, even with llama3.2. Check the fact with the memoria command; a friendly response alone doesn’t prove it was saved.
Start the lesson
Objective: Edit the identity and find a fact you told the assistant using the memoria command.
The identity is in ~/.intelecto2/identidade/.
Click each part to see what it does.
Click each step to see what to do.
Describe who you are without a password. In the nano editor, save with Ctrl+O, Enter, and exit with Ctrl+X.
Change the personality in everyday language. Keep the safety rules in AGENTS.md.
After the first run, adding facts to MEMORY.md won’t help: it has already been imported. In the conversation, say “remember that my city is Porto Alegre.” Version 2.0.1 saves the fact directly, without relying on the model to call salvar_memoria; “remember,” “save,” and “note” work too. A message that ends with “?” never becomes a memory.
End the conversation, open another one, and ask for the fact. Confirm it with the memoria command using a word from the fact: it checks the database directly, even if the model’s answer varies.
In nano, save with Ctrl+O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl+X. MEMORY.md is imported only in a new installation, on the first run; later facts are added through the conversation.
nano ~/.intelecto2/identidade/USER.md nano ~/.intelecto2/identidade/SOUL.md
cd ~/intelecto-v2 python3 -m intelecto memoria Porto
cd ~/intelecto-v2 python3 -m intelecto memoria
After “remember that my name is Nei and I live in Porto Alegre,” a new conversation replied: “Your owner’s name is Nei and you live in Porto Alegre.” The search python3 -m intelecto memoria showed #2 … My name is Nei and I live in Porto Alegre. The record number and response may vary in your installation.
Follow the steps in order and check each one only after you’ve confirmed the result.
In the conversation with Ollama, including llama3.2, say “remember that my city is Porto Alegre” or share another simple fact. Avoid sensitive information. Then run python3 -m intelecto memoria Porto (replace Porto with a word from your fact).
Done when: The fact appears in python3 -m intelecto memoria [word]; the assistant’s confirmation alone isn’t enough.
End the conversation, open another one, and ask about the fact. Then return to the terminal and search for a word from the fact with memoria.
Done when: The line you find contains the fact you shared.
