Overview
Memories are a type of instruction that Tandem listens to when generating notes. These can either be added automatically when you created your template, or you can created manually.
🧠 Memories when creating template
In some cases, when you try to activate a template, Tandem may not be able to fully determine what kind of information is expected under certain headings or entries. This typically happens when:
- The entry name is too general (e.g. "Notes" or "Details")
- The context of the section or the entry name is unclear
→ What do do:
When this occurs, you'll get a prompt asking you to select or provide a short explanation. Simply select one of the suggested explanations or write one yourself, describe what kind of information should be documented by Tandem under that entry - for example:
"Include relevant patient history related to current complaint"
"Summarise next steps for treatment or follow-up"
Your answer at this step will be saved as a Memory, which will be automatically applied whenever the template is used.
🧠 Adding memories manually
You can also manually add memories to help guide Tandem how something should be documented for a template or a template entry.

The easiest way of adding memories to a template is by opening the Memories sidebar and clicking "+ Add memory". You will then get prompted to write a memory, which you can then save. This memory will apply to the full template.
→ Adding entry memories
![]()
You can easily add memories connected to specific entries by opening the template and then hover over the entry you want to add a memory to. Click the + button and then you will be prompted to write a memory. Then press save. This memory will apply only to this entry.
