Agent memories

Review what an agent learned from earlier work. Edit a useful memory when its wording is wrong, or forget it when it should no longer apply.

Memories carry durable context between one agent's sessions without turning every transcript into permanent instructions. Review them on the installed agent, then edit or forget anything that should change.

How agent memory builds

Hivy looks for information that will matter after the session ends. Temporary progress and routine tool output do not need a memory, so many sessions leave nothing behind.

  1. 01

    A session finishes

    Hivy checks settled work for facts, decisions, preferences, conventions, or findings worth carrying forward.

  2. 02

    Related facts are combined

    When new evidence supports an existing memory, Hivy updates the durable fact instead of filling the list with copies.

  3. 03

    The agent can recall it later

    Future sessions can search the agent's learned memories when earlier context fits the current task.

Review what an agent learned

Open Agents, choose an installed agent, and select Memories. Edit one fictional memory, save it, then forget a second item and confirm the removal.

Review one agent at a time

Open Agents, choose an installed agent, then select its Memories tab. Each card shows the learned fact, its tags, and when Hivy saved it.

An empty list is not an error. Memories appear after the agent has completed work with a durable fact worth keeping.

Open Agents

Learned memories for one agent

Capture the Memories tab with three fictional facts, visible tags, relative dates, and the options menu open on one card.

Edit wording without inventing a new fact

Choose Edit when the memory is useful but its wording is incomplete or wrong. Replace it with a short statement that the evidence supports, then save.

Editing changes what the agent can recall. Put temporary directions in the current session instead of turning them into lasting memory.

Forget context that should stop applying

Choose Forget when the fact is obsolete, sensitive, or belongs to another agent. Hivy asks for confirmation because the removal cannot be undone.

Forgetting one agent's memory does not remove source material from a knowledge source, Sheet, Drive, or earlier session.

Memory belongs to the agent

Team access controls who can open the agent and its work, but memories do not automatically move to another agent on the same team. Each agent learns from its own sessions.
