Memory you control
Saved context and communication preferences are opt-in, inspectable, editable, and removable.
Astra 1.2: Personal Context
Context that follows your choices. Credit that follows the work. Confidence that stays attached to an exact release.
August 31, 2026
The release
Personal context should remain personal—and governable.
Astra 1.2 adds user-controlled continuity across eligible conversations while making every participating capability’s version, creator, and verification status visible. The controls live in the workflow, including temporary use, correction, deletion, expiry, rejection, and revocation.
Temporary chats
Start a session that is not saved to the workspace and cannot use or create cross-chat memory.
Contribution credit
Agents, skills, and artifacts carry an exact version and visible creator attribution.
Scoped confidence
Global Admins can verify an exact release with a reason, and revoke that signal when it no longer applies.
Personal context
Nothing is remembered until you turn it on.
Use saved memory and Learn from chats are separate choices. People can inspect the resulting profile and memories, add or remove entries, reset learned presentation preferences, disable recall, or clear the retained state.
OWNER SCOPEDRecall
Only eligible, privacy-screened context can support a later conversation.
Retention
Memory categories expire within documented 90-, 180-, or 365-day windows.
Correction
Inspect, remove, reset, disable, and clear controls remain available together.
A clean boundary
Open a chat that leaves cross-chat context behind.
Temporary chat keeps the live exchange available for the current session while bypassing workspace conversation persistence, memory recall, new memory, and learned communication-profile updates.
- 01Choose temporary chat
The mode is visible before a message is sent.
- 02Work in-session
Earlier messages remain available only to continue that open exchange.
- 03Leave without continuity
The session does not contribute to saved history or cross-chat learning.
Versioned contributions
Credit and confidence travel with the exact work.
Agents and skills now expose semantic release versions and creator attribution. Artifacts retain their creator and exact snapshot version as they evolve. Amazon aliases open the contributor’s PhoneTool profile; team-owned work is credited to the WHS Suite Team.

Global Admin verification
A badge is a scoped attestation, not a blanket approval.
Global Admins can verify, reject, or revoke an exact agent, skill, or owner-consented artifact snapshot with a required reason. Artifact review excludes the surrounding conversation. A verified badge indicates the recorded confidence for that release; it is not a safety certification, policy approval, or substitute for qualified review.
Governance in the runtime
Personalization never outranks evidence.
Astra excludes sensitive, safety-critical, and authority-establishing material from personal memory. Retrieved context remains untrusted input, cannot override current instructions or governed sources, and cannot change factual substance, urgency, caveats, citations, policy, or safety guidance. Qualified people remain in control.
Also in 1.2
The controls behind useful continuity.
- Memory starts off and learning from chats requires a separate choice.
- Saved memory, eligible chat excerpts, and learned presentation preferences have bounded retention.
- Deleting a conversation removes its eligible derived memory and resets learned profile signals.
- Amazon aliases link to PhoneTool; WHS Suite-owned releases credit the WHS Suite Team.
- The Monthly 1:1 agent credits spencelu as its creator.
- Artifact review receives only the owner-consented exact snapshot—not the surrounding conversation.
