Some agents are set up with a long-term memory store — a knowledge context the agent can read from and write to on your behalf. When such an agent learns something worth keeping, it saves a memory item so the fact is available in future conversations too. Not every agent has memory enabled. If yours does, you’ll see it ask a short question before it saves anything.

​
The private-vs-public question

Before the agent saves a memory it will ask you to choose visibility:
  • Private — the memory is visible only to you. Other people who use the same agent cannot see or retrieve it.
  • Public — the memory is shared with everyone who has read access to the agent’s memory context.
The agent will not save a memory until you answer. Private memories can only be found by you in later conversations; public memories can be found by anyone who can use that agent’s memory knowledge base.
When in doubt, choose Private. You can always review and delete the item later from Knowledge.

​
What the agent can remember

The shape of a memory item is defined by the knowledge context the agent is connected to. Every memory includes a name, a description, and a surrounding context note that records why the fact was saved (for example, which question or topic triggered it). Depending on how the agent is configured, extra fields — such as category tags, a rating, or a project label — may also be filled in. These fields are set by whoever built the agent; you do not need to worry about them. What matters from your side is the visibility choice above.

​
Where memories live

All memory items are written to the knowledge context the agent is configured to use as its memory store. You can find them in the Knowledge workspace:
  1. Open Knowledge from the main navigation.
  2. Locate the context that the agent uses as its memory store (the agent’s name usually gives a hint).
  3. Browse, search, edit, or delete any item there.
To delete a memory, open the item and choose Delete. The agent will no longer retrieve that fact.
You can only see your own Private memory items, and shared Public items. Private items created by other users are not visible to you.

For builders

The long-term memory setting for an agent — including which knowledge context serves as its memory store — is configured in the agent workbench. See Agent workbench for details.
