Sesame's memory across voice and text
Updated November 9, 2026
Sesame is an app where you talk with one of four ready-made agents, Maya, Miles, Simone or Charlie, by voice or text. Sesame describes each as having a distinct personality, a point of view and memory that grows over time. The agents can also search the web, take notes and set reminders.
Two memory details stand out. Sesame says memory is continuous across voice and text, so spoken and typed conversations draw on the same record. And in Incognito mode, nothing is saved to memory or Sesame's servers.

Best if you'd rather talk out loud and want the same memory whether you speak or type.
Sesame vs Hallie for memory
Sesame states its memory rules for voice more clearly than most, and Incognito is a simple way to keep one chat out of the record. If you'd rather talk than type, it's a good fit.
Hallie ranks above it for memory because she uses what she remembers to reach out. Sesame makes no claim about messaging first, so its memory waits for you to open the app. Hallie follows up in your Messages thread on her own.
