Conversation Memory — How Your Agent Remembers What You've Said
Learn how agent memory works across sessions — what persists, what disappears, and where to store information that matters long-term.
One of the most common questions is: "Why does the agent sometimes forget what I told it earlier?" Let's break down how agent memory actually works — it's simpler than it seems.
What is conversation memory
Every time you interact with the agent, a session begins. Everything written within that session is "visible" to the agent and can be referenced. That is conversation memory.
The memory size in ASCN Agent is 200,000 tokens. In practice, that's roughly 300 pages of text. For a typical work conversation, it's a huge amount that almost never gets filled up.
What happens when a session ends
When you close a chat and open a new one, a new session begins. The agent can no longer see the text from the previous conversation.
But it doesn't lose everything. Here's what remains:
- Knowledge base — always available
- Saved facts (Memory) — things the agent saved from past conversations
- Integrations — Gmail, Calendar, and others stay connected
- Skills — all created commands continue to work
