Using Memory
Synton AI remembers information you teach it. This makes conversations more personalized.
Adding to Memory
Remember: Our brand voice is friendly and casual
Note that our target audience is millennials aged 25-35
Keep in mind that we have a summer sale planned for June 1st
Remember that our best-seller is the "Bamboo Water Bottle"
The AI confirms:
I'll remember that your brand voice is friendly and casual. I'll use this in future content generation.
Viewing Memory
What do you remember about my store?
Show me what you've learned about my brand
Updating Memory
Update: Our target audience is now 20-40, not just 25-35
Forget about the summer sale, it's cancelled
Change: Our best-seller is now the "Stainless Steel Tumbler"
Using Memory
The AI automatically uses memory for:
- Content generation (applies brand voice)
- Product suggestions (knows best-sellers)
- Strategic decisions (understands your audience)
Follow-up Actions
After completing a task, the AI suggests next steps:
Your discount code is created! Would you like to:
- Generate promotional content?
- Schedule social media posts?
- Run a sales forecast agent?
You can:
- Choose one of the suggestions
- Ask something else
- End the conversation

Conversation History
All your conversations are saved. Access them from:
Dashboard → Recent Activity
Or:

What did we discuss last week?
Best Practices
Be Conversational
The AI understands natural language. Talk like you would to a human assistant:
Natural:
Hey, can you help me figure out why sales dropped last week?
I'm thinking of adding a review system - what do you think?
Not necessary (but works):
Execute sales analysis query for date range 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-07
Deploy module: reviews, confirmation: yes
Provide Context
Give background when needed:
I'm running a Black Friday sale next month. Help me prepare by:
- Setting up discount codes
- Generating promotional content
- Creating email campaigns
Ask Follow-up Questions
If you don't understand something:
What do you mean by "featured collection"?
Can you explain how the preview link works?
How long will this change take to go live?
Verify Understanding
Make sure the AI understood correctly:
Just to confirm, this discount code will work for all products, not just the sale collection, right?
Break Down Complex Tasks
For complicated requests, split into steps:
Instead of:
Create discounts for all my collections, set up a loyalty program, and configure cart recovery
Do:
Let's set up a promotion system. First, show me my current collections.
[Review collections]
Okay, let's start with a 10% discount for the summer collection...
Safety Features
Confirmation for Critical Actions
For important actions, the AI asks for confirmation:
I'm about to delete 50 products. Are you sure you want to proceed? Type "yes" to confirm.
Rate Limiting
To prevent accidents, the AI rate limits:
- Bulk deletions (max 10 per request)
- Mass updates (max 100 per request)
Audit Trail
All actions are logged:
Settings → Activity Log
View:
- What changed
- When it changed
- Who requested it (if team account)
Troubleshooting
AI Doesn't Understand
If the AI seems confused:
-
Rephrase your request
Let me rephrase that: I want to add a red banner that says "Sale" -
Provide more context
I'm talking about the homepage banner, not the collection page banner -
Use follow-up questions
Did you understand what I meant by "featured section"?
AI Made a Mistake
If something went wrong:
That's not what I wanted, can you fix it?
If the issue persists:
/help
And contact support if needed.
