Dreaming is the nightly run that keeps workspace memory short, current, and consistent. Once a night it reviews recent conversations, adds what is new, merges duplicates, and removes outdated memory and custom skills.

​
Why Dreaming

  • Memory stays tidy without effort. Agents save facts as they work; Dreaming merges the overlaps and drops what no longer holds.
  • Nothing slips through. It reads every conversation in the activity window, and a conversation it can’t finish is read first the next night.
  • Skills stay lean. Dreaming also merges and retires redundant custom skills, within limits you control.
  • Safe by design. Connections stay read-only, and conversation and connection notes are never changed.

​

​
How a run works

Each night Dreaming starts at 00:30 UTC, spread over the next 45 minutes across workspaces. One run per workspace happens at a time.
  1. Gather. Dreaming lists every conversation updated in the activity window, people’s chats first, plus any conversation the previous run didn’t finish.
  2. Read in parallel. Readers digest batches of conversations at the same time and report what is worth keeping. Readers can only read.
  3. Consolidate. Dreaming compares the digests with existing memory, then adds, edits, merges, or deletes items and keeps the memory index in step.
  4. Finalize. Dreaming records a summary in Run history. Near the time limit, it stops reading and finalizes with what it has.
  5. Carry over. Conversations it didn’t read to the end are read first on the next run.

What Dreaming reads and changes

​
Customize Dreaming

Open Customize on the Dreaming card. Workspace admins can change these options; members see them read-only.
Customize section with the activity window choices, the automated conversations and skill deletion switches, and the Focus instructions box
Focus instructions never override the safety rules: connections stay read-only, and protected notes stay untouched.

FAQ

Dreaming can merge or delete any item, including one you edited, when a newer conversation shows it is outdated. Deleted items keep a copy in the revision history.
Dreaming changes memory only when conversations add something new. A quiet night can end with no edits; the run summary says so.
An instance admin can turn Dreaming off for every workspace. The card then says Dreaming will not run until they turn it back on.
