Snowflake CoWork user memory
User memory that saves requested preferences in Snowflake CoWork and reuses them in later conversations

What it is
Our note
CoWork runs on the Cortex Agent API, whose threads persist conversation context across turns so clients need not manage state, and CoWork's memory layer adds saved preferences on top. Users toggle 'Reference saved memories' in Settings, which does not delete stored memories, and the separate CoCo desktop coding agent stores markdown memory files under ~/.snowflake/cortex/memory/.
