Secrets AI Using the Wrong Name or Pronouns

Quick answer: Check the active Persona and memory panel before correcting the companion. A wrong name or pronoun may come from an inactive Persona, an old saved fact, another memory scope, or strong context in the current chat. Correct one identity fact clearly instead of adding several competing versions.

Find where the wrong identity comes from

Open the active Persona and confirm its name, description, and relevant identity details. Then inspect the companion’s memory for an older or conflicting entry. In multiple chats, confirm whether the conversation is private or assigned to a shared Memory Group.

If the Persona itself is not being applied, follow the Persona activation guide.

Correct the identity in a controlled way

  1. State the correct name or pronouns once in plain language.
  2. Use one OOC correction if the roleplay context keeps overriding it.
  3. Update or remove the incorrect memory.
  4. Confirm the intended Persona is active.
  5. Test a new chat with the same Persona and memory scope.

Avoid saving multiple near-identical identity entries. Duplicate facts can create new conflicts.

Interpret the new-chat comparison

Correct behavior in a new chat points to old conversation context. Wrong behavior in all chats using one Persona points to Persona content or activation. A different result across memory scopes means the separation is affecting recall as designed.

The SecretOpedia’s Secrets AI identity and Persona guides contains Persona and memory guidance. Our the Secrets AI review of identity and memory features explains how identity, memory, and roleplay features fit together.

Escalate persistent identity errors with minimal examples

Send support the Persona name, companion, chat scope, active mode, time, and one short redacted example. Do not share unrelated private Persona or memory information.

If several identity facts are duplicated or wrong in the memory panel, continue with the memory cleanup guide.
