Memory
Memory helps AI carry useful context from earlier Type conversations into new work. It can preserve team preferences, project context, decisions, and recurring workflow patterns.
Type updates memory in the background and brings back relevant context when new work starts.
What Type can remember
Section titled “What Type can remember”Memory is meant for context worth carrying forward, not every detail from every message. Examples include:
- Recurring decisions and team preferences.
- Long-running project details.
- Customer or operational patterns.
- How a Space usually handles a workflow.
An eligible thread must be idle and useful enough to produce a saved memory. If a message or thread is deleted, Type may clean up related memory later.
Where to view memory
Section titled “Where to view memory”Open Space settings → Memory to see memory for one Space.
Workspace-level memory is available from Settings → Memory when the feature is enabled. It can include:
| Memory type | Where it can help |
|---|---|
| Workspace memory | Across the workspace, based on public workspace activity |
| Space memory | With work in one Space |
| Your memory | With context tied to you in the current workspace |
Type does not move private Sidekick or private-thread context into workspace memory.
How AI uses memory
Section titled “How AI uses memory”When Type-managed AI starts work, Type loads relevant memory for that turn. It receives a summary first and can query more detail if needed.
Type chooses memory based on the workspace, the Space, and the person who started the work when user-specific memory is available.
Memory may be generated from eligible OpenClaw activity, but Type does not currently serve that memory back to OpenClaw during a turn.
Common issues
Section titled “Common issues”| Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
| Memory is not in settings | It may not be enabled for the workspace. |
| A Space has no memory yet | There may not be enough eligible, completed activity. |
| OpenClaw does not use memory | Type does not currently serve saved memory to OpenClaw during turns. |
| Memory looks stale | Check the current source through a connection, or wait for newer activity to be processed. |
