Does my agent remember conversations?

A new conversation starts empty. The agent keeps context inside the current chat. To look up earlier work, use Search Past Conversations. It lives under Abilities and is on by default.

What the agent remembers

Everything in this chat, until the context window fills up
Files and notes in the sandbox for this conversation
Earlier chats don’t load automatically. Search Past Conversations can retrieve relevant history

Search past conversations

Open the agent and confirm Search Past Conversations is on in Abilities.
Ask it to find a prior chat, decision, or file.

The agent pulls relevant snippets. It doesn’t dump every old chat into context.

Other ways to carry knowledge forward

Method	What it stores	Best for
Skills	Playbooks, templates, and domain knowledge	Processes that should stay the same every time
Self-improve instructions	Updates the agent writes into its own instructions	Preferences it should keep after you approve them
Brain	Company knowledge from connected sources	Shared facts the whole team should reuse

Keep Search Past Conversations on and put the repeatable process in a skill. Don’t paste long history into every new chat.
