Bud is your built-in personal assistant in each workspace. Bud is not a saved [agent](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/concepts/agents-skills-and-workflows/). You do not need to set it up.

## What Bud does

- Bud guides you through your first use of TulipFarm.
- Bud offers suggestions for your next step.
- Bud learns your reply preferences.

## Open Bud

Bud appears as a small floating window. Bud uses your own private chat.

- To open Bud, select **Open Bud**.
- To close it, select **Minimize Bud**.
- To move Bud, drag it to another corner of the screen.

## Suggestions

Bud shows a suggestion in a small bubble. Select **Let's do it** to accept the suggestion, or select **Dismiss**.

Bud waits at least 30 minutes between suggestions. You can also snooze suggestions for the day, or turn them off.

## Personal memory

Personal memory is your saved reply preferences in one workspace. Only you see it. Bud can learn preferences from your closed private chats.

To change your personal memory:

1. Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Select **Account settings**.
3. Find the **Personal memory** section.
4. Type your preferences in **Your preferences**.
5. Select **Save memory**.

You can use Markdown, up to 10,000 characters. For example: "Use short replies with emojis."

Your manual changes take priority over what Bud learned from older chats. To clear your memory, remove the text and select **Save memory**.

## Credits

Bud uses workspace [credits](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/concepts/credits/) to reply.

> **Note:** If Bud says **Bud needs workspace credits to start a reply.**, the workspace does not have enough credits. See [Get more credits](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/billing/get-more-credits/).
