Keep your profile accurate

Stateful is only as good as the facts in it. Your inbox is where you keep it clean — the one place where nothing is saved until you say so.

What lands in your inbox

Open the inbox from the bell icon (top right; it shows a count when there's something to review). Two kinds of things wait there:

• Corrections you made in conversation — when you tell an AI it's wrong about you, the fix waits here so you can see what's being overwritten before it replaces the old fact.
• Suggestions from a connected AI — when Claude.ai, Claude Code, or ChatGPT proposes something about you, it's staged here, labeled with which tool it came from.

Facts you tell Stateful's own assistant directly — "I'm vegetarian," "I use Postgres" — are added to your profile right away, since you authored them. The inbox is for corrections and for suggestions coming from other tools.

Approve or reject

Each item gives you two choices: Approve (it lands in your profile) or Reject (it's logged as rejected, so the same suggestion doesn't keep coming back). There's no inline edit — if a value is close but not quite right, reject it and state the correct version in chat.

Know your fact types

Stateful stores facts by type, and the type changes how an AI treats them:

• Preference — something you usually want ("I prefer TypeScript"). The AI leans this way.
• Constraint — a hard rule ("never use any"). The AI should follow it every time.
• Rejection — an option you've ruled out ("don't suggest Vue"). The AI knows not to offer it.
• Correction — a fix to something Stateful had wrong. It invalidates the old fact instead of silently overwriting it, so there's a record of what changed.

The more precisely you phrase things — "never," "always," "I've ruled out" — the more accurately Stateful types them.

A simple weekly habit

Skim your inbox once a week. Approve what's right, reject what's noise. A small, accurate profile beats a large, contradictory one — and everything you approve is what your AIs will rely on.
