User asks AI assistants to export memories, finds hundreds of entries and background access requests

jmppmj · reddit · 2026-11-11

A developer building a memory tool called Decoy asked ChatGPT, Claude and Muse to dump everything they knew about him into it. Instead of a few preferences, he got a massive knowledge graph with hundreds of memories — projects, decisions, preferences, and details he'd forgotten sharing months ago.

Stranger still: Decoy's activity log showed continuous requests to access his memories, account credentials and email inboxes even when he wasn't chatting with any agent, running throughout the night. He's still investigating what triggered them and asks whether others realized this background behavior was happening at this scale.
