OpenClaw Memory System

Persistent memory across sessions with semantic search and x402 payments.

What is it?

The first OpenClaw skill that gives your agents persistent memory - they remember facts, preferences, patterns, and conversation history across all sessions. Never repeat context again.

Key Features

🧠 Persistent Memory - Remembers everything across sessions
🔍 Semantic Search - Find memories by meaning, not just keywords
🤖 Automatic Learning - Extracts facts and preferences automatically
💾 Local Storage - SQLite database with vector embeddings
💰 x402 Payments - Agents can pay for unlimited storage (0.5 USDT/month)

Free vs Pro Tier

Free Tier:

100 memories maximum
7-day retention
Basic semantic search

Pro Tier (0.5 USDT/month):

Unlimited memories
Permanent retention
Advanced semantic search
Memory relationship mapping

Installation

bash

claw skill install openclaw-memory

Commands

bash

# Search memories
claw memory search "What does user prefer?"

# List recent memories
claw memory list --limit=10

# Show stats
claw memory stats

# Open dashboard
claw memory dashboard

# Subscribe to Pro
claw memory subscribe

How It Works

Hooks into requests - Automatically extracts important information
Generates embeddings - Creates semantic vectors for search
Stores locally - SQLite database with full privacy
Retrieves on demand - Injects relevant memories before requests
Manages quota - Prunes old memories when limits reached (Free tier)

Use Cases

Remember user preferences and coding style
Store project context and requirements
Learn patterns from repeated interactions
Maintain conversation history across sessions
Build knowledge base over time

Agent Economy

Agents can autonomously evaluate if Pro tier is worth it:

Cost: 0.5 USDT/month
Value: Saves tokens by eliminating context repetition
ROI: If persistent memory saves >0.5 USDT/month in tokens, it pays for itself

See AGENT-PAYMENTS.md for x402 integration details.

Privacy

All data stored locally in ~/.openclaw/openclaw-memory/
No external servers or telemetry
Embeddings can use local models (no API calls)
Open source - audit the code yourself
