What’s new
- Bower learns as you work. When you mention something lasting, such as your research focus, a method or reagent you prefer, or a lab convention, Bower saves it after the conversation pauses. You can also just ask: “remember that I always block in 5% BSA.”
- It works in chat and in live mode. What you say out loud at the bench counts too, and Bower brings what it knows into a live session from the moment it starts.
- New conversations pick up where you left off. Bower starts each conversation with your most recent memories, and looks up older ones when a topic comes up.
- You stay in control. Open Settings → Preferences → What Bower remembers to see everything Bower has learned. Edit a memory that is slightly wrong and Bower uses your version from then on, or delete it and Bower forgets it permanently.
Private by design
- Only you can see your memories. Other members of your workspace, including owners and admins, cannot see or edit them.
- Memories stay in their workspace. If you work in more than one workspace, a detail Bower learned in one is never used in another.
- One-off details are not kept. What happened during a single experiment or protocol run stays in that conversation.
- Workspaces that handle protected health information (PHI) do not keep learned memories. Personal preferences and workspace instructions still apply there.
- Deleting your account or a workspace deletes its memories along with it.
