A good assistant learns how you like things done. Henchman does that in three ways, and keeps all of it on your Mac where you can check it.
What they remember
- Their own notes. Each henchman keeps working notes about its job and what you’ve asked of it.
- A shared file on you. The crew keeps a dossier of short facts: your home town, your partner’s name, that you don’t eat meat, that mornings before nine are off limits. Tell one henchman and the rest know it too.
- Skills. When a henchman figures out a good way to do something you ask for often, like a weekly plan or a trip checklist, it can save that as a skill and reuse it next time.
You’re in charge of it
You can read everything your henchmen remember, edit it, or remove it. Every change is recorded with who made it, so you can roll back. Memory has a sensible size limit, which keeps it tidy, and your henchmen consolidate old notes when it fills up.
There’s also a guard against tricks. Something a henchman read on a web page or in a chat message can’t quietly rewrite what it knows about you.
Long conversations
Very long conversations are summarised as they grow, so your henchman keeps the thread of a week-long project without slowing to a crawl.
Honest limits
Memory makes your henchmen more useful, not perfect. They can misremember or save something you’d rather they didn’t, which is why everything is visible and reversible.
