What we built: an AI Teacher that remembers what you ask

You should not have to say it twice

Some things you carry for weeks. A worry about work. A friend who is sick. Someone you keep bringing to prayer. When you sit down for a few minutes with God, you want to start where you left off, not from the beginning.

So we built memory you can see into your AI Teacher.

Ask it to remember

When you write "Remember that..." or "Please pray for...", your AI Teacher keeps it as one short line. A quiet line shows under the answer, for example "Remembered: Mum's surgery on Friday", with an Undo beside it. Tap Undo and the line says "Forgotten."

When you open a conversation again, anything your Teacher learned from it on its own shows the same way, each line with its own Undo. Nothing is kept silently.

You can also keep a message of your own. On the phone, long-press it and choose Remember this. On the web, a quiet Remember this button sits under each of your messages. If a message asks the Teacher to remember something, it keeps what you asked. Otherwise it keeps your own words, as one short line.

Some moments are not for remembering. Remember this keeps nothing from a conversation that has turned to your safety, and your Teacher is built not to keep what you confess.

Your Teacher uses a memory only when it helps the answer, for example asking how something you are praying about went. It never lists what it remembers unless you ask.

One page that shows it all

What your Teacher remembers puts everything in one place, in three groups: About you, Praying for and Studying. Each line says how and when it was learned.

Prayers have Mark as answered. Answered prayers move under the open ones and show the day they were answered. To bring one back, tap Open again.

Delete a line with a swipe or the trash button. Or choose Forget everything.

You can open the page from Settings, or from the Your Teacher sheet, where you choose who teaches you. It is the same page however you reach it, and every line on it can be read, kept or let go.

Memory is yours to turn off

At the top of the page is a switch: Let your Teacher remember. Turn it off and nothing new is kept. You choose whether what it already remembers stays or goes. If you ask it to remember something while memory is off, a short note tells you, and offers to turn it back on.

The same switch is on the web, in Settings, under What your Teacher remembers. Turning it off there asks the same question: keep what it remembers, or forget it. And if you ever withdraw your consent to the AI features, memory turns off too. Turning it back on is always your choice.

Go deeper when one answer is not enough

Under an answer that cites Scripture, there is a quiet Go deeper button. Tap it, and your AI Teacher answers the same question again, fuller, with the sources of your tradition. Whatever you were typing stays where it was.

When it draws on the Catechism, the Teacher names it, and you can tap the name to open the Catechism on the Vatican's own site.

The Fatima Prayer in the Rosary

After each decade's Glory Be, the same page now shows the Fatima Prayer, in our own short, plain words: "O my Jesus, forgive us, and keep us from the fire of hell. Bring every soul to heaven, above all those most in need."

It follows every decade, whether you pray the full Rosary or a single decade. It does not follow the opening Glory Be, because the prayer belongs to the decades.

It shares the Glory Be's page, so the number of pages and your saved place stay just as they were. VoiceOver reads it after the Glory Be, and the share card for that page now holds both prayers.

A voice that sounds like your Teacher

When the phone reads an answer aloud, it now uses a voice that suits your Teacher. Each Teacher card has a play button, so you can hear a Teacher say hello before you choose. If you already picked a reading voice in Settings, your pick still wins, and Match my Teacher hands the choice back.

A place to come back to tomorrow

None of this is about more time on your phone. It is about a few quiet minutes with God that pick up where yesterday left off. Bring what you are carrying, and come back to it tomorrow.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22 (KJV)
