Memori - Automatic Long-term Memory for OpenClaw

Persistent memory integration that works automatically in the background. No commands, no manual management - just install and your agent remembers.

Core Workflow

Memori operates automatically via OpenClaw lifecycle hooks:

Before Each Response (Intelligent Recall)

Memori automatically: 1. Searches for relevant past conversations 2. Injects matching context into the agent's prompt 3. Enables continuity across sessions - no search command needed

After Each Response (Advanced Augmentation)

Memori automatically: 1. Captures the conversation turn (user + assistant) 2. Sends to Memori backend for intelligent processing 3. Extracts facts, deduplicates, and indexes - no storage command needed

You don't manage memory - it just works.

Installation

openclaw plugins install @memorilabs/openclaw-memori

Configuration

Add to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "openclaw-memori": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "apiKey": "${MEMORI_API_KEY}",
          "entityId": "openclaw-user"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Options

• apiKey (required): Your Memori API key from memorilabs.ai
• entityId (required): Unique identifier for this user's memories

How It Works

Memori uses OpenClaw lifecycle hooks for automatic operation:

before_prompt_build → intelligent-recall (inject relevant memories)
agent_end → advanced-augmentation (store conversation turn)

Zero commands needed - memory works automatically in the background.

What Memori Does Automatically

Backend Intelligence (handled by Memori SDK): - Intelligent fact extraction from conversations - Automatic deduplication and merging - Semantic ranking by relevance - Temporal decay (older memories fade) - Privacy filtering (no secrets stored)

Plugin Role (what runs in OpenClaw): - Pipes conversations to Memori backend - Injects recalled memories into prompts - Zero configuration after setup

You don't configure what to capture - the backend handles it.

Verification

Check that the plugin is working:

# Verify plugin is installed
openclaw plugins list

# Check for Memori logs in gateway output
# Look for "[Memori]" prefixed entries

Quota Management

Check your current API quota:

memori quota

Example output:

 __  __                           _
|  /  | ___ _ __ ___   ___  _ __(_)
| |/| |/ _  '_ ` _  / _ | '__| |
| |  | |  __/ | | | | | (_) | |  | |
|_|  |_|___|_| |_| |_|___/|_|  |_|
                  perfectam memoriam
                       memorilabs.ai

+ Maximum # of Memories: 100
+ Current # of Memories: 0

+ You are not currently over quota.

Use this to monitor usage and upgrade if needed.

Performance

• Automatic deduplication prevents memory bloat
• Semantic ranking ensures relevant memories surface first
• Zero manual commands - always-on background operation

Privacy & Data Handling

Transparent data flow: - ✅ Conversations sent to Memori backend (https://api.memorilabs.ai) - ✅ Data encrypted in transit and at rest - ✅ You control data via your API key and entityId - ✅ Delete memories anytime via Memori dashboard - ✅ No third-party sharing - ⚠️ Only install if you trust Memori with conversation data

Backend automatically filters sensitive data (API keys, passwords, secrets).

Memory Persistence

Memories persist across: - Session restarts - Gateway restarts - System reboots - OpenClaw upgrades

All storage handled by Memori backend - no local database needed.

Troubleshooting

Plugin not loading: - Verify enabled: true in openclaw.json - Check API key: echo $MEMORI_API_KEY - Restart gateway: openclaw gateway restart

No memories captured: - Check gateway logs for [Memori] errors - Verify API endpoint reachable - Test API key: memori quota

Memories not recalled: - Ensure entityId is consistent across sessions - Verify memories exist: memori quota shows count > 0 - Check logs for recall errors

Quota exceeded: - Run memori quota to check usage - Upgrade at memorilabs.ai - Or clear old memories via dashboard

Notes

This skill teaches the agent about the Memori plugin. The plugin must be installed separately via npm. Once installed, memory capture and recall happen automatically - no commands needed.
