Since Memo 8.1 shipped on February 17, 2026, we have focused on two things: giving you more control over how Memo generates content, and removing friction across Studio, Learn, Copilot, sources, exports, and mobile. Memo 8.1 introduces Skills, expands customization across Studio, and fixes a long list of bugs that surfaced after the v8 launch.

Memo 8.1 is the polish release for Memo 8. It is a broad update for students, researchers, educators, professionals, and knowledge teams who rely on Memo every day. The biggest headline is Skills: a new way to shape how Memo generates content. Around that, we also shipped a substantial quality pass across generation, review, source handling, exports, settings, and performance.

Highlights

• Skills are now live. You can browse, install, manage, and apply prompt skills across more of Memo.

• Studio is much more customizable, with better control over output language, generation style, and instructions.

• Learn and review workflows are faster and clearer, with better due counts, starred cards, reset options, and stronger source references.

• Source handling is more reliable across PDFs, websites, YouTube, text, citations, and public notebooks.

• Memo 8.1 fixes a large batch of bugs across notes, exams, exports, streaks, mobile layouts, upgrade flows, and marketplace access.
