# Memory

> Add context your Minibuddies agents can use. Store URLs, text, and files so the AI understands your brand, projects, and preferences.

## What is Memory?

**Memory** is Minibuddies' way of giving agents lasting context. Instead of repeating the same information in every chat, you add it once - as a URL, text, or file - and agents can reference it when relevant. Memories help the AI understand your brand voice, product details, audience, processes, and more.

Use Memory when you have information that should apply across many conversations: company overview, brand guidelines, product descriptions, or key facts you don't want to retype.

## Types of memory

You can add three types of memory:

| Type     | What it stores      | Example use                          |
| -------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **URL**  | A webpage or domain | Company site, blog, documentation    |
| **Text** | Plain text or notes | Brand voice, key messaging, FAQs     |
| **File** | Uploaded document   | PDF, doc, or other supported formats |

<Info>
  When you add a URL, you can choose to store a single page or an entire domain. Domain-level memory helps the AI understand your site as a whole. Single-page memory is useful for specific articles or landing pages.

## Adding a memory

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Memory">
    From the dashboard, click **Memory** in the sidebar. You'll see your existing memories and an option to add a new one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the type">
    Select how you want to add context:

    * **URL**  - Enter a webpage URL or domain. Choose "domain" to cover the whole site or "webpages" for specific pages.
    * **Text**  - Paste or type text directly. Use this for brand guidelines, key facts, or instructions.
    * **File**  - Upload a file (e.g., PDF, document). The content is processed and made available to agents.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the content">
    * For **URL**: Paste the URL and, if applicable, select domain vs. page scope.
    * For **Text**: Type or paste your text. Add a label if helpful (e.g., "Brand voice").
    * For **File**: Select the file from your device. Add a label or description if you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Submit the form. Minibuddies processes the memory and stores it. It becomes available to agents in relevant conversations.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Start with a few high-value memories: your company/about page, a one-paragraph brand summary, or key product descriptions. You can always add more later.
</Tip>

## When agents use memories

Agents don't quote memories verbatim in every response. They use them when they're relevant to your question or task. For example:

* **Brand voice**  - If you stored brand guidelines, the agent can match that tone when writing content.
* **Product info**  - If you stored product pages, the agent can reference features and benefits accurately.
* **Processes**  - If you stored documentation, the agent can follow your workflows when giving instructions.

You don't need to mention memories in your prompt. The system includes them in the agent's context when appropriate.

## Viewing and managing memories

* **View all**  - Open the Memory section to see your stored URLs, text, and files.
* **Edit**  - If supported, you can update a memory's content or label.
* **Delete**  - Remove memories you no longer need. Deletion is permanent; the agent will no longer use that context.

<Warning>
  Deleting a memory doesn't remove it from past chat responses. It only affects future conversations. Past chats keep their historical context.
</Warning>

## Best practices

* **Be selective**  - Add information that will be reused often. Too many low-value memories can dilute focus.
* **Keep it current**  - Update memories when your brand, products, or processes change.
* **Use clear labels**  - Labels help you manage memories and understand what each one contains.
* **Combine types**  - Use URL for your site, text for guidelines, and files for detailed docs.

## Limitations

* Memory is used to improve responses, but agents may not use every memory in every chat.
* Very long texts or large files may be summarized or truncated for context limits.
* Memory is tied to your account and is private to you.
