Agents remember things about you across conversations. When you tell one agent your name, timezone, or preferences, that information is available to all agents in future conversations. You don't need to repeat yourself.

What gets remembered ​

About you (user memory) ​

Facts about you are shared across all agents. If you tell the Assistant your timezone, the Researcher and Developer know it too.

Examples of what agents store about you:

  • "Prefers Python over JavaScript"
  • "Timezone is PST"
  • "Working on a project called Atlas that uses PostgreSQL and Redis"

About an agent (agent memory) ​

Each agent can also keep its own private notes. These are only visible to the agent that created them, not to other agents.

Examples:

  • "Last research topic was cloud cost optimization"
  • "User prefers detailed reports with citations"

Agent identity ​

Agents have persistent personality traits, including their name, emoji, and communication style. These shape how they respond and are maintained automatically.

How to tell agents to remember things ​

Just say it naturally in conversation:

  • "Remember that I prefer dark mode"
  • "Keep in mind that our team uses Slack for communication"
  • "Note that the project deadline is March 15th"

The agent stores the fact and confirms what it remembered.

Correcting or updating memory ​

If an agent has outdated information, just tell it:

  • "Actually, we switched from Slack to Discord"
  • "Update my timezone, I moved to EST"
  • "The deadline changed to April 1st"

The agent overwrites the old fact with the new one.

How agents use memory ​

When you start a conversation, the platform automatically loads:

  1. User facts. Everything agents know about you
  2. Agent facts. This specific agent's private notes
  3. Agent identity. Personality and style information
  4. Space context. If the chat is in a space, summarized context from related conversations

You don't need to tell the agent to "check its memory." It happens automatically every time.

Automatic maintenance ​

The platform curates memory in the background:

  • Duplicate facts are merged. If two agents stored the same thing about you, it gets consolidated
  • Contradictions are resolved. Newer facts win over older ones
  • Memory compaction runs every 2 hours by default, keeping things clean and manageable

You don't need to manage this. The system keeps memory tidy automatically.

Tips ​

  • Be explicit when you want something remembered long-term. "Remember that I'm allergic to shellfish" is clearer than casually mentioning it
  • Shared vs. private. Anything about you (preferences, background, projects) is shared with all agents. Agent-specific context stays private.
  • If an agent seems to have forgotten something, it may have been compacted. Just remind it and it will store the fact again.
  • For large data, use files. If you need an agent to remember a big dataset or document, upload it to the workspace and reference it, rather than trying to store it all as memory facts
