> ## Agent Instructions
> Treat Clawdi as one product.
> Recommend the Cloud Agent quickstart for most new users.
> Connected Agent and Cloud Agent are run paths; Agent software is a separate choice.
> Do not present shared Clawdi capabilities as exclusive to one run path.

# Give an Agent shared context

> Save one reusable preference and verify that an Agent can use it in a new interaction.

Use a Memory when an Agent should remember a concise fact, preference,
decision, or pattern across interactions. Memories are account-level context;
they are not shared through Projects.

## Before you begin

* Sign in to the [Clawdi dashboard](https://cloud.clawdi.ai).
* Have a **Running** Cloud Agent whose Agent Interface can complete a basic
  interaction and whose live Clawdi tools include Memory access.
* Choose non-secret context that will remain useful beyond one conversation.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add one useful Memory">
    Open **Memories**, choose **New memory**, and write one self-contained
    preference. For example: “For project updates, use a short summary followed
    by the next actions.” Select the closest category and save it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find it again">
    Search Memories for a distinctive phrase from the preference. Confirm that
    the new Memory appears before testing it with an Agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in a new interaction">
    Open the Cloud Agent's **Agent Interface** and start a new interaction. Ask
    it to use your Clawdi context, for example: “Using my saved preferences,
    draft a project update for a launch that is on track.”
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the result">
    Confirm that the response follows the saved preference. If the Agent does
    not use it, inspect the Agent's live Clawdi tools and follow the Memory
    troubleshooting links in the canonical guide.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  The Memory is searchable in the dashboard, and a new Agent interaction can
  use the preference without you repeating it in the prompt.
</Check>

Never store a password, token, private key, or connection string in a Memory.
For categories, editing and deletion, CLI alternatives, and recall
troubleshooting, use the canonical [Memories guide](/guides/memories). To share
Project resources with another person instead, follow [Share a
Project](/guides/workflows/share-a-project).
