Introducing Agents: specialists with their own memory
JJamesJuly 22, 2026
Today we're shipping Agents — the biggest change to 1Chat since memory itself.
An agent is a specialist you create once and use everywhere: a researcher, a writer, an operations brain for Jira and Confluence. Each one has its own name, its own instructions, and — this is the part we care most about — its own private memory.
Why private memory matters
Your account memory is everything 1Chat knows about you. But not everything belongs there. The details of a work project don't need to surface when you're planning a holiday, and your personal life doesn't belong in your work agent's head.
Every agent keeps a separate memory partition. What it learns while working stays with it. You decide — per agent — whether it can read your account memory and whether anything it learns can be added back. Either way, you can open any agent's memory on the Memories page, see every fact it holds, correct anything, or erase it entirely.
Context @researcher
@researcher what did we learn about pricing last week?
Three takeaways from the competitor sweep: usage-based beats seats in this segment, the $20 anchor holds, and annual discounts convert best at 2 months free.
@researcher 3 memories used
Attach an agent with @ — its memory and apps come with it.
How you use them
@-mention an agent in any chat to bring it in — type @ and pick from the list.
Attach several agents and one becomes the boss: it leads the conversation, and when agents remember conflicting things, the boss's memory wins.
Agents carry pinned connections — apps they always bring, like Jira or your email — with individual actions pinnable when you want tight control.
Give an agent a preferred model and it brings that brain to every chat, whatever the chat's default.
Click the agent's badge under any reply to see exactly which memories it used and which tools it called for that answer.
Deleting is real deletion
When you delete an agent, its memory partition is erased — permanently, not archived. If there's anything worth keeping, one click moves its memories into your account first. You'll see exactly how many made the trip.
Agents are live for everyone today. Create your first one from the new Agents page in the sidebar.
Try it yourself
Every model, one memory, and agents that work the way you do.
