Workspace profile
Every workspace has a custom system prompt you can fill in by hand. Almost nobody keeps it current, because nothing ever reminds you to.
The workspace profile is the other half of that field, and Azynote writes it for you. It watches how you actually work and builds up a short description of your world: who you are, who keeps coming up, what your acronyms mean, and how you want your OnePagers shaped.
You do not have to tell it any of this. You just use Azynote and it fills in.
What it picks up
Who you are. Whether you are usually the vendor or the customer, whether a commitment you make in a meeting is a follow-up you owe or a task you are handing out.
What words mean here. That "the platform team" means the customer's team and not yours. That "a POC" means a paid engagement with written success criteria, not a demo.
How you want output. If you keep asking for the background section to go away, it eventually stops writing one.
Names, spelled properly. People, projects, acronyms and jargon from your generated OnePagers. This is the part you feel first, because it is what stops transcription from turning "ksqlDB" into "case ql DB".
Just tell it
You do not have to wait for it to work things out. Say so:
You: remember I always want action items at the top
Azynote: Got it.
Anything you state that way goes straight in. No waiting, no repetition, and the background learning can never overwrite it or decide it has gone stale.
This is the fastest way to make the profile useful on day one, before it has watched you work long enough to infer anything.
Ask "what do you remember about me?" to see the list. To change something, just say so:
- "forget that I want action items at the top" removes it.
- "actually Marie moved to Northwind" corrects the existing line rather than leaving both versions behind.
Azynote reads the whole list, edits it, and writes it back, so corrections work as well as deletions. It will tell you what actually changed.
The same tools are available over MCP, so an agent in another app can teach this workspace without you switching to Azynote. That is remember, get_memory and update_memory in the azynote-core server.
Where to change it
It follows whichever preset you picked, like every other capability. If your workspace is set to Local, the profile is built on-device; if it is set to Gemini, it runs there.
To change it on its own, or to turn it off:
- Open Settings then AI Configuration.
- Find the Workspace profile row under Other.
- Pick an engine, or Off.
Each engine trades differently here. Local keeps everything on your Mac and costs nothing to run, which suits background work. The cloud and agent engines follow instructions more reliably on a task this fiddly, which shows up as fewer odd entries in the box. Try whichever your workspace already uses, read what lands in the box after a week, and switch if you do not like it.
Seeing and correcting it
A What the agent has learned box sits below your custom prompt in the same screen, whenever the row is not Off. That is the profile, in plain text, and you can edit it like any other text.
If it decided something wrong, delete the line. If you want it to know something now rather than in three weeks, type it in yourself.
Two buttons sit under the box:
- Learn now runs a pass immediately instead of waiting for the next one.
- Forget everything wipes the profile and starts over.
The profile also lives as a plain markdown file at .azynote/workspace-profile.md inside your workspace, so you can open it in any editor, and you can see what changed over time if your workspace is in git.
When it updates
On its own, roughly every half hour, and only when there is enough new material to be worth reading.
It waits for a quiet moment. It will not run while you are recording or transcribing, because it is not worth slowing those down for something that can happen five minutes later.
Things worth knowing
Each workspace learns separately. What Azynote knows about your consulting workspace never leaks into your side-project one. You are a different person in each, and a shared profile would be wrong in both. A new workspace starts blank on purpose.
One-off requests do not become rules. Asking for something shorter once is an instruction. Asking across three separate conversations is a preference, and only then does it get written down. This is what stops a single offhand remark from quietly changing every OnePager you generate from then on.
That waiting applies only to what Azynote works out on its own. Anything you say to remember is taken at face value immediately, because you were not guessing.
Clearing your chat does not erase what it learned. Clearing chat is how you start a fresh discussion, not how you erase your history, so Azynote keeps the material for learning and your profile survives. If you do want the profile gone, use Forget everything.
It only knows what you have done. If you have never corrected a OnePager, it has no idea how you like them. Give it a couple of weeks of ordinary use before judging it.
Your custom prompt is untouchable. Azynote writes the learned box and nothing else. Whatever you typed into the custom system prompt above it stays exactly as you left it.
