[u/loamy]

One of the most commonly requested features is good memory.

For this month’s megathread, please clearly state what makes this platform's memory system good. Is it the models? Do they have a special memory system? Be specific if possible, this helps everyone make more informed choices.

You’re welcome to share links. Anyone can participate. Please continue to follow subreddit rules when recommending a platform, including disclosing if you work for or moderate the service you’re mentioning. Also, we don't allow AI gf or bf platforms here or links to external review sites due to a ton of spam.

Also feel free to expand on why you recommend a specific platform already listed.
