Agent Plugin
OpenClaw Memory LanceDB
Provides persistent LanceDB memory with vector retrieval, automatic recall, capture, and explicit forgetting.
What is OpenClaw Memory LanceDB?
Memory LanceDB is OpenClaw's official external long-term memory plugin. It stores durable memories in a local LanceDB-backed index, exposes tools for storage, recall, and deletion, and can automatically surface relevant context before a model response. Embedding provider, storage location, indexing, capture, and recall behavior remain explicit configuration choices rather than hidden application state.

Persistent vector store
Keeps durable agent memories in a LanceDB-backed local index.
Hybrid retrieval

Explicit lifecycle tools
Provides memory_store, memory_recall, and memory_forget operations.
Use cases
Preference continuity
Recall stable user or project preferences across separate sessions.
