Copilot Memory GA: Stop repeating your rules
Stop telling Copilot your test command every session.
Copilot Memory became generally available on paid Copilot plans on Oct 28, 2026, so personal preferences and repository conventions carry across sessions and clients. Dreaming, now in public preview, keeps those memories current.
What changed
Copilot can now carry what it learns about you and your repo from one session to the next. Tell it “Remember to start my pull request descriptions with a TL;DR” and it can reuse that preference across Copilot experiences.
Repository memories can hold the right test command or how the team expects Copilot to check its work.
Memories can be created in the Copilot app, Copilot CLI, VS Code, Copilot cloud agent, Copilot code review, Slack, Teams and GitHub Mobile, and Copilot sessions also generate and curate them on their own. You can view or delete personal memories in your Copilot settings.
Dreaming (public preview)
Dreaming reflects on past work to improve future agent sessions. There are three types: personal memory curation, repository customization (manages repository memories and proposes updates to existing skills and custom instruction files), and code review customization (turns recurring accepted review feedback into guidance for Copilot code review).
Changes to checked-in skills and instructions come as pull requests for review.
What to do
Dreaming is opt-in, and dream runs consume AI credits. Individual subscribers turn on personal curation in Copilot settings and repository dreams in each repository’s settings. In organizations and enterprises, administrators enable it through Copilot policies.
