Customize how QwenWork understands your preferences and working style.
Customize your collaboration style and working manual, and give QwenWork cross-session memory and skill evolution.
Awareness is QwenWork's memory and personalization system — once enabled, it continuously records your preferences and working habits, so every new conversation starts with full context instead of from scratch.
The Awareness page is accessed from the Awareness icon in the left sidebar. It contains two master switches, the Evolution Activity panel, and the entry point for managing all of your Awareness files.

Master Switches
- Awareness Mode — the master switch. When enabled, QwenWork works in your customized style and gains cross-session memory and skill evolution.
- Auto Memory — when enabled, QwenWork automatically maintains your user profile and short- and long-term memory, and triggers memory reflections on a regular basis.
Evolution Activity
Shows how active the Awareness system has been:
- Memory Trend Chart — a line chart showing how memory entries change day by day. You can switch between Day / Week / Month views.
- Today's Stats — the number of reviews, newly added memory entries, skill updates, and reflections for the current day.
- Recent Activity — the latest memory writes and reflection records (short-term memory, memory reflections, etc.) in reverse chronological order. Click "Show More" to view the full history.
