Memory System

What is Memory System?
The memory system allows Open Claw agents to remember information across conversations. Instead of starting fresh every time, agents can store and retrieve facts, past interactions, or user preferences from structured memory files in the workspace. Open Claw also includes a compaction system that automatically summarizes older conversation history when a session grows too long, preserving the essential information while freeing up space for new exchanges.
