Memory Tools
You can simply mention @Hana and describe your request. If the intent is clear, she will automatically run this tool for you.
Introduction
Slash command usage will be deprecated soon. Mention @Hana directly in Google Chat to add memories just like in the prompt examples and screenshots below.
The video demonstrates how memory invocations can be triggered using slash commands. You can also directly mention @Hana to get the same output.
Benefits
-
Hana can remember memory snippets and automatically recall and consider them during her conversations with you.
-
Adding memories straight from chat means you do not have to open the dashboard in the middle of a conversation. You can still review or fine-tune everything afterward from the Hana Control Dashboard.
Only members with an Admin-level role (admin) can ask @Hana to save a memory from chat. If you are unsure of your role, visit the Organization Settings page in the Hana Control Dashboard to confirm your role before invoking the tool.
Available Tools
| Tool | Invocation Keywords | Description | Parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
ADD_MEMORY | remember, add in memory | Adds a memory snippet/message to Hana's memory as a text memory. Capture key learnings, decisions and knowledge transfers from the user message, chat history, or available context. Include reference URLs for later retrieval. | memory_snippet (string, required): Summarize the learning, decision, or knowledge transfer in detail. Ensure it can be retrieved using vector embeddings search and append reference URLs at the end. |
Creating Memories
You can create memories using 2 ways:
- By invoking the Memory Tools in Google Chat
- By going on the Hana Dashboard and creating them through the memory module
Once a memory is saved from chat, it immediately shows up in the dashboard where you can edit, update visibility, or remove it later.
Chat invocations capture text snippets only. Advanced controls—such as setting the memory level, adding use case instructions, or enabling Load memory as a whole always—are available during dashboard creation. After creation of memory by invocation, you can adjust the memory level and use case instructions in the dashboard, but Load memory as a whole always can only be set at creation time in the dashboard right now.
Why a memory request might not go through
- Role mismatch: Only Admin-level members can create memories from chat. If you see a “permission required” message, confirm your role in the dashboard.
- Missing details: Hana needs a clear text snippet to save. If the message is empty, she will ask you to try again.
- Plan limits: Starter plans may run into quota caps for how many memories can be created at once. Upgrade to PRO for unlimited usage.
- Organization switch needed: Make sure you are in the intended organization before invoking @Hana.
Memories created from chat are stored in your active organization. If you belong to multiple organizations with different roles, use the Active Org switcher in the dashboard’s top navigation to choose where you want the memory saved. Clicking the switcher shows every organization you can access—select the right one and then repeat the @Hana invocation.

Every plan has its own memory limits. If you are on the PRO plan, you enjoy unlimited memory creations. Other plans may enforce batch or quota caps, so keep an eye on your plan details if you encounter limit warnings.
Editing Memories
Memories at the moment can only be edited in the Hana Control Dashboard. From there you can adjust the memory level and use case instructions, but the Load memory as a whole always option remains fixed based on what you chose at creation time.
How Are Memories Retrieved
You do not need to do anything special for memory snippets to be considered in conversations. For example:
Input - @Hana, remember that our brand primary color is #8a181a
Output -
TLDR: Hanabi Technologies' official primary brand color is #8a181a (deep red/maroon), as confirmed in the team's design system documentation.
Thanks for the reminder, @Santhosh Kumar! Hanabi Technologies’ official primary brand color is indeed #8a181a (deep red/maroon). This color is used consistently across all branding and digital assets to maintain a unified and recognizable identity. The design system also specifies supporting colors for UI/UX, such as #0070f3 (blue) for primary actions, #f5a623 (orange) as an accent, and accessible grays for backgrounds and text. Typography uses the Inter font, and all components are designed to meet accessibility standards, including a minimum color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 and keyboard navigability for interactive elements.
If you need the full palette or design system details for reference or handoff, just let me know!

Troubleshooting
- Not recalled: Rephrase your question or include a keyword you used in the memory snippet.
- Ingestion pending: Wait until the memory shows INGESTED before expecting recall.
- Updates: Edit the memory from the dashboard if details changed; Hana prioritizes fresher content.
