Grok memory

xAI lists memory across chats as a Grok feature, but the xAI pages we checked don’t explain how it works or how to manage it. Dray saves your grok.com chats to your own Dray account, where every assistant and agent you connect can search them.

Get started

Needs Chrome, Edge, Brave or Opera on a computer.

How Grok remembers on its own

  • xAI’s Grok page lists “Memory across chats: Remembers your preferences and past conversations”, and custom instructions. xAI: Grok
  • None of the xAI pages we checked on 12 October 2026 explains how memory works, which plans have it or how to manage it. xAI: Grok xAI FAQ
  • Private Chat starts from the ghost icon at the top right. Its conversations don’t show in your history and are deleted within 30 days. xAI FAQ
  • Using your X data to personalize Grok is a separate setting, “Personalize Grok using X”: Settings > Data Controls in the apps, or Settings > Data on grok.com. xAI FAQ
  • You can delete chosen conversations or all of your history. Deletion takes up to 30 days. xAI FAQ

What Dray adds

  • Dray for Chrome saves your chats on grok.com, with their titles and dates and the files and images in them. One switch turns files off. Dray privacy policy
  • Chats in the Grok phone app are saved too, while Chrome is running and signed in to the site. The extension reads them from the site in the background, with no tab open: about once a minute while the computer is in use, and every 15 minutes when it is idle or locked. It starts from when it is turned on; older chats come in through “Read my history”. If the site is signed out in Chrome, or Chrome is closed, those chats wait until that is fixed. Dray help
  • Dray reads your conversations, not Grok’s own memories. Dray privacy policy
  • Added as a connector, Grok can search what you saved from ChatGPT, Claude and your coding agents. Dray: connect
  • Grok Build gets the connection too: if you connected Dray on grok.com, Grok Build lists it in /mcps as Dray (managed). See Grok Build memory. Dray: connect
  • You choose how far back Dray reads, from the last three days to all of your history. When you delete a chat in Grok while Dray is running, Dray deletes it from your memory too. Dray help Dray privacy policy
  • On a saved chat, the Dray menu offers “Ask ChatGPT about this chat” (or Claude), listing only assistants you have connected. It opens that assistant with the request typed, and you press Send yourself. Dray help
  • You can also import a Grok export from your dashboard. Your browser reads the file and sends Dray the text of your chats and the names of attached files, never the files themselves. Dray privacy policy

Use Dray to tell me what you remember about my current projects. If no memory is available, say so.

Limits

  • Dray for Chrome saves chats on chatgpt.com, claude.ai and grok.com, so conversations with Grok inside X aren’t saved.
  • Dray doesn’t read or change Grok’s own memories. Dray privacy policy
  • Saving chats needs Chrome (116 or later), Edge, Brave or Opera on a computer. Safari, Firefox, phones and tablets can’t install the extension. Dray help
  • Reading may miss or misread chats, and memory extraction can be wrong.
  • Some business plans switch MCP off or allow only approved servers. Dray: connect
  • Dray learns from 1,000, 5,000 or 20,000 of your messages a month, depending on your plan. Going over deletes nothing; new messages wait until the month resets or you move up. Dray: usage
