Gecko’s AI Chatbot Gets a Memory Boost

Our AI chatbots have just had a significant upgrade that transforms how they interact with students. We've enabled full contextual memory for all AI agents, allowing them to remember previous messages within a conversation.

See the difference in action

We’ve created a side-by-side demonstration that shows just how powerful this upgrade is. In the video, you can watch as we compare the same chatbot with and without memory. The difference is remarkable – especially when the student asks follow-up questions about course requirements and scholarship options.

Watch the demo to see how the memory-enabled bot provides tailored information for an Indian undergraduate student interested in chemistry, while the traditional bot gives generic responses that miss the mark.
 

What’s contextual memory?

Previously, our chatbots treated each message as a standalone interaction. Now, they retain information shared earlier in the conversation, creating more natural and personalised exchanges.

This means your AI can:

  • Provide more relevant responses based on a student’s specific situation
  • Ask better follow-up questions that build on previous answers
  • Tailor information to suit individual needs

For example, if a student mentions they’re an undergraduate from India interested in chemistry, the AI will remember these details throughout the conversation. When they ask about “requirements,” the bot knows to provide undergraduate chemistry requirements specific to Indian students, rather than generic information.
 

What does this mean for you?

If you’re already using our AI chatbots, this feature has been automatically enabled for all your agents – no action needed.

For those considering our platform, this represents the sophisticated level of AI interaction you can expect from our technology.

 

Privacy and security

Before rolling out this enhancement, we put it through comprehensive testing against our technical, security and ethical standards.

Our data protection protocols ensure:

  • Memory is session-based only (limited to the current conversation)
  • No long-term data storage or user profiling
  • No conversation data used to train AI models
  • AES-256 encryption for all data
  • Strict access controls

We partner only with trusted AI vendors who meet enterprise-grade privacy and security requirements.
 

Why this matters

This upgrade opens up new possibilities for student engagement. Chatbots can now guide students through course selection by remembering their interests and preferences throughout the conversation, creating more helpful interactions.

It’s all part of our mission to help your small team achieve outsized results by providing technology that evolves to meet your needs.
