Memory
Memory decides what an Agent recalls from one turn to the next and from one Session to the next. Pick the mode that matches the use case — short-term is enough for most chat Agents; long-term matters when continuity across Sessions is the point.

The three modes
Pick one in step 6 of the builder.
- 1
Short-term (session-scoped)
Holds context for the current Session. Fast, ephemeral, cleared when the Session ends. The default — most chat Agents need only this. - 2
Long-term (persistent)
Stores facts, preferences and history that should survive across Sessions. Requires a configured storage backend in the Workspace. - 3
Hybrid
Both layers run together. Short-term holds the current Session; long-term layers in persistent facts. Use when continuity across days or users matters.
When to pick what
Short-term fits stateless workloads — ticket triage, code review, single-shot analytics. Long-term fits assistants that should remember user preferences, prior decisions, or running case notes. Hybrid fits multi-turn customer support, sales copilots, or any Agent that must feel personal over weeks.
How memory is isolated
Memory storage is scoped to the Workspace and partitioned per Agent and per Session. No cross-Workspace bleed. On-premise deployments keep memory inside your own infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I clear long-term memory for a specific user?
- Yes. Long-term memory exposes a per-principal delete operation, used to honor erasure requests or reset a corrupted profile.
- Does long-term memory cost extra?
- It uses storage and embedding compute in your Workspace. The Analytics view breaks out memory cost per Agent so you can decide whether the value warrants the spend.
- How big is short-term memory?
- Short-term memory sizes to the model context window minus reserved tokens for prompts and Tool calls. The Agent automatically summarizes older turns when needed.
- Can I read what an Agent remembers?
- Yes. The Agent settings page exposes a memory inspector that shows the current long-term facts and the latest short-term Session contents.
