Memory gives a CREAO agent persistent context about you that carries across every conversation, so a fact saved in one thread is available in all future threads.
Share a preference, decision, or detail once and the agent remembers it, recalling the right context automatically at the start of every new conversation and on demand when you ask.
Memory gives a CREAO agent persistent context about you that carries across every conversation. When you share a preference, make a decision, or mention something important, the agent can save it and recall it later, even in a completely different thread.
Memory is shared across all your conversations: a fact saved in one thread is available in every future thread. At the start of each new conversation, your most recent memories are injected into context, so the agent already knows your preferences.

Saving memories
Memories get saved two ways.
Ask explicitly
Tell the agent to remember something, like your preferred language or timezone, and it saves it and confirms.
Saved proactively
The agent recognizes durable context (preferences, decisions, identity, and project facts) and saves it on its own.
·
Recalling memories
The agent recalls memories automatically at the start of every conversation, and on demand when you ask about something from a previous chat. Try asking in a brand new thread:
# in a brand new thread
What programming language do I prefer?
What project am I working on?
·
Memory categories
Every memory is tagged with a category, which makes it easy to filter and reason about.
Preference
Likes, dislikes, and tool or language choices. For example, prefers dark mode or likes TypeScript.
Fact
Objective information about you or your work, such as a PST timezone or using Redis for caching.
Decision
Choices that affect future work, like deciding to use PostgreSQL for analytics.
Entity
Names, contacts, and companies, such as working at Acme Corp or a name like Alex.
Other
Anything that does not fit the categories above, including general notes and reminders.
The Memory page: saved memories with category badges, search, and filters.
·
Managing memories
View, search, filter, and delete memories from the Memory page in the sidebar. Search by keyword, filter by category, and delete any memory you no longer want recalled. Deleted memories are removed permanently.
Filter memories by category to focus on preferences, facts, decisions, and more.
·
Playbooks
The Playbooks tab shows structured reasoning guides the agent builds from your past conversations. A playbook captures a recurring task pattern, how the agent learned to approach a kind of work for you, and applies it automatically in future sessions. You do not create them by hand; the agent surfaces them as it recognizes consistent patterns.
Active
Applied automatically in relevant sessions.
Current
Recently promoted and actively in use.
Pending
Generated but not yet applied, awaiting review.
Archived
No longer applied, kept for reference.

Memory vs thread notes
The agent keeps two tiers of memory. Thread notes preserve context inside a single conversation; cross-thread memory stores durable facts about you across all of them.
Thread notes
Scoped to the current conversation and managed automatically. Survives compaction within the thread. Best for task-specific context like file paths and the current approach.
Cross-thread memory
Shared across all conversations and kept indefinitely. Best for durable facts about you: preferences, decisions, and identity.
·
Best practices
Tell it what matters. When you state a durable preference or decision, the agent saves it. Saying it once is enough.
Keep memory clean. Delete outdated memories from the Memory page so the agent recalls only what is still true.
Let playbooks form. The more consistently you work, the better the patterns the agent captures and reuses.
Leave thread notes to the agent. They are managed automatically; focus on cross-thread memory for what should last.

Frequently asked questions
What is agent memory in CREAO?+
Memory is persistent context the agent keeps about you that carries across every conversation. A fact saved in one thread is available in all future threads.
How does the agent save memories?+
Two ways: you ask it to remember something, or it proactively recognizes durable context like preferences, decisions, and identity and saves it on its own.
Is memory shared across conversations?+
Yes. Cross-thread memory is shared across all your conversations and persists indefinitely, and your most recent memories are injected at the start of every new thread.
How do I view or delete a memory?+
Open the Memory page in the sidebar to search, filter by category, and delete any memory. Deleted memories are permanently removed and no longer recalled.
What are playbooks?+
Playbooks are structured reasoning guides the agent builds from your past conversations, capturing a recurring task pattern and applying it automatically in future sessions.
What is the difference between memory and thread notes?+
Thread notes preserve context within a single conversation and survive compaction; cross-thread memory stores durable facts about you across all conversations, indefinitely.
What kinds of things does memory store?+
Memories are tagged by category: preferences, facts, decisions, entities, and other.
