Sparky, your AI assistant in Flint, is built to be as helpful as possible, supporting teachers’ teaching and students’ learning. In order to personalize future interactions, Sparky may sometimes collect memories about you from your conversations.
In this guide, you'll learn:
What does Sparky remember?
Sparky saves two types of information about you: profile information and preferences.
Profile information
This includes facts about who you are as a member, such as:
Your grade level or the grade levels you teach/support
Subjects you teach
Your school or district
Preferences
This includes facts about how you work and what you like, including:
Your teaching or learning goals
Preferred communication styles
Learning preferences and study methods
Interests and hobbies
Sparky will *not* save random trivia, daily facts, or sensitive information like role claims (e.g., "I'm an administrator"). Memories are kept concise — no more than a few sentences each.
Where do I see stored memories?
You can view all your memories in your profile settings:
Click your name in the sidebar
Select "My profile"
Click "Profile Settings"
Scroll down to the "Memories"
Review your existing memories
Here you'll see a list of everything Sparky has remembered about you, organized by category.
How do you create memories?
There are two ways memories are created: automatically during onboarding and by asking Sparky in conversation.
Automatically during onboarding
When you first set up your Flint account, you answer questions about your role, grade level, subjects, and goals.
Sparky automatically saves these as memories.
Asking Sparky in conversation
Simply tell Sparky what you'd like to be remembered. For example:
"Remember that I prefer visual examples over text explanations."
"Please remember I teach AP Chemistry and Physics."
"Remember that I learn best through practice problems."
Sparky will confirm when a memory has been saved.
How do you modify memories?
You may want to edit or remove memories. This can be done either through your profile settings or by asking Sparky.
Through your profile settings
Click your name in the sidebar
Select "My profile"
Click "Profile Settings"
Scroll down to the "Memories"
Click the "X" button next to any memory you want to remove
Click "Update" to save any changes
By asking Sparky
Just tell Sparky what needs to change in any conversation. For example:
"I no longer teach 5th grade — I moved to 8th grade this year."
"Update my memory to say I teach Biology instead of Chemistry."
Sparky will update the relevant memory for you.
What happened to memories from previous onboarding?
If you completed the onboarding survey before the memories feature launched, your responses have been automatically converted to memories. This includes:
Grade levels you teach or support
Subjects you teach
Your teaching or learning goals
Learning style preferences
Interests you shared
You can view and manage these converted memories in your profile settings, just like any other memory. If anything looks outdated, simply edit or remove it.
