Memory
Memory helps your AI teammates remember what matters across conversations. As teammates work in Type, memory can carry forward preferences, project context, decisions, and workflow patterns so future work is faster, more precise, and better aligned with how your team works.
Each useful thread can make an AI teammate better at the next one. Type updates memory in the background and brings relevant memory back when a teammate starts new work.
What Type can remember
Section titled “What Type can remember”Type memory comes from prior Type conversations. It is meant for useful context that should carry forward, not every detail from every message.
Examples include:
- recurring decisions;
- team preferences;
- long-running project details;
- customer patterns;
- how a teammate usually handles a workflow.
Type does not turn every message into memory. A thread must be eligible, idle, and useful enough to produce a saved memory. Messages or threads that are deleted can cause related memory to be cleaned up later.
Where to view memory
Section titled “Where to view memory”Workspace memory is available from Settings > Memory when memory is enabled for your workspace. That page lets you inspect what Type has saved across:
- Agent memories: saved memories for AI teammates.
- Organization memories: workspace-wide memories.
- Your memories: memories scoped to you in the current workspace.
AI teammate memory is also available from an individual teammate’s settings. Open the teammate, go to settings, then open Memory. That page shows the teammate’s memory summary and expandable detailed memories.
How teammates use memory
Section titled “How teammates use memory”When a Type-managed AI teammate starts work, Type will load relevant memory for that turn. The teammate receives a summary first, and detailed memory is available for the agent to query if needed.
Type chooses memory based on the workspace, the AI teammate doing the work, and the person who started the turn when user-specific memory is available.
Memory may still be generated from eligible OpenClaw teammate activity, but Type does not currently serve memory back to OpenClaw agents during turns. This includes both managed OpenClaw and bring-your-own OpenClaw teammates.
Who memory is for
Section titled “Who memory is for”Type saves memory at different levels so it can be used in the right places.
| Memory type | Where it can help |
|---|---|
| Organization memory | Across the workspace, from public workspace activity. |
| AI teammate memory | With one shared AI teammate and its role. |
| Your memory | With context tied to you in this workspace. |
Type does not move private Sidekick context or private thread context into organization memory.
When memory updates
Section titled “When memory updates”Memory updates in the background. New thread activity does not appear in memory immediately. Type waits until an eligible conversation is no longer active, looks for useful context, saves it, and makes it available to future teammate turns.
If a thread changes after memory was created, Type may update the related memory on a later run. If a thread or cited message is deleted, Type may remove or revise affected memory after cleanup runs.
Common issues
Section titled “Common issues”| Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
| You do not see Memory in settings | Memory may not be enabled for the workspace. |
| A teammate has no memory yet | The teammate may not have enough eligible completed activity, or Type may not have saved memory for it yet. |
| An OpenClaw teammate does not use memory | Type does not currently serve memory to managed or bring-your-own OpenClaw agents, even when memory has been generated from eligible activity. |
| Memory looks stale | Ask the teammate to check the current source of truth through its connectors, or wait for the background workflow to process newer activity. |
