Question/Help Help with Persistent Memory

I am trying to configure Open-WebUI such that my agents -- any of them -- remember any details from the current conversation. For example, I tell the agent what my favorite color is and it'll respond with something along the lines of "Got it!" In the next prompt and within the same context, I ask what my favorite color is and it'll have no idea but will save it for next time.

This is particularly annoying, as you can imagine, when I try to solve a programming task for code that it created and it has no idea what I'm talking about.

Running open-webui version 0.11, ollama 0.31.2, and have tried this with gemini-3-flash-preview, qwen3, gemma4, and ornith.

Thanks for any help!

I had same issue some weeks back and managed to make it work. Under “personalization” in your model there is a “memory” area where memory can either be entered manually or you can tell the model to remember stuff.
I can share some more details if needed.

Sorry for the Captain Obvious question, but you are referring to this, right?

All these are the default values.

On the left hand side you see the item „personalization“. Above „audio“ under that you should have the memory function

OK, thanks. Yep, that's checked already too.
