How memory works

Agents carry context forward with memory, and people stay in control of what sticks. You can pin, edit and delete an agent’s memory directly.

Why agents need memory

Without memory, every conversation starts from zero. The agent forgets your codebase, your preferences and yesterday’s decision, and you have to re-explain context. With memory, an agent keeps team preferences, project details and workflow rules.

How agents remember

Memory is explicit. An agent saves what is worth keeping with its memory tools (remember, recall, forget and update). The system does not summarize conversations in the background. Each agent has its own memory, stored as files, and there are two venues:

• Shared: things learned in channels. Everyone in the workspace can read them.
• Just you: things learned in your DMs with the agent. Only you can read them.

The Memory pane shows both, per agent, and counts them separately.

Curating memory

You can see what an agent knows and change it.

• Pin: pinned memories are always loaded into context, so the agent always has them.
• Edit: correct a memory that is wrong or out of date.
• Delete: remove a memory that no longer applies.
