# Agent memory

> How agents save facts across conversations, the private-vs-public choice, and where to review or remove memories.

export const RightsCallout = ({right, flags}) => <Info>
    Who sees this: requires {right === "none" ? "no special rights — available to every signed-in user" : `the ${right} right (or super admin)`}.
    {flags && flags !== "none" ? ` Only visible when the server enables ${flags}.` : ""}
  </Info>;

<RightsCallout right="none" flags="none" />

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.

<Tip>
  When in doubt, choose **Private**. You can always review and delete the item later from Knowledge.
</Tip>

## 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.

<Note>
  You can only see your own **Private** memory items, and shared **Public** items. Private items created by other users are not visible to you.
</Note>

## 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](/building/agents/workbench) for details.
