Features

• Long-term memory — Saves what is relevant for personalizing your OpenClaw and other AI app experiences as memories from your OpenClaw usage; in a private cloud-vault with encryption-at-rest and secure interfaces. Auto-consolidates and forgets stale information. Securely stores facts, preferences, episodes, goals, constraints, and more.
• Short-term memory — Determines short-term memory needs from OpenClaw usage such as conversation summaries, tasks, facts, preferences, procedures, and more. Auto-converts them to long-term memory periodically.
• Data privacy & security — You own all your data and only you can read your information. All LLM calls are made in secure mode. You have granular control to forget or delete what you need to.
• Cross-platform sync — Save context from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Manus, Perplexity, and other flows into your cloud-vault and use in OpenClaw automatically.
• Cross-channel memory — Memories persist across Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, and all supported channels.
• Auto-recall — Automatically injects relevant memories before each LLM turn.
• Auto-capture — Automatically stores conversation context after each turn.
• Slash commands — /remember and /recall for direct memory interaction.
• Agent tools — maximem_store, maximem_search, maximem_forget for agent-driven memory operations.
• CLI commands — Terminal-based memory management with openclaw maximem.

Configuration options

​

Usage

​

Quick start

1. You chat with OpenClaw on any channel (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, etc.).
2. Vity recalls relevant context from your AI history — including past ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity conversations.
3. OpenClaw responds with full awareness of your cross-platform context.
4. Vity captures new information for future sessions.

​

Slash commands

​

/remember [text]

/remember My favorite programming language is TypeScript
/remember I prefer dark themes for all applications
/remember Project deadline is March 15, 2026

✓ Saved to memory: "My favorite programming language is TypeScript"

​

/recall [query]

/recall favorite programming language
/recall project deadline
/recall preferences

Found 2 relevant memories:

1. "My favorite programming language is TypeScript" (saved 2 days ago)
2. "I prefer dark themes for all applications" (saved 1 week ago)

​

CLI commands

​

Search memories

openclaw maximem search "favorite color"
openclaw maximem search "deadlines" --limit 20
openclaw maximem search "preferences" --json

• -l, --limit <n> — Maximum results (default: 10)
• --json — Output as JSON for scripting

​

Agent tools

{
  "agents": {
    "list": [{
      "id": "main",
      "tools": {
        "allow": ["maximem_store", "maximem_search", "maximem_forget"]
      }
    }]
  }
}

You: "Forget that I said I like Python — I've switched to Rust."

Agent: Done. I've removed the memory about Python and noted your preference for Rust.

​

Troubleshooting

​

”API key not found” error

echo $MAXIMEM_API_KEY

1. Re-run the export command from the Configuration section.
2. Restart your terminal.
3. Try again.

​

Memories not being recalled

1. Check config — ensure autoRecall is true.
2. Check prompt length — messages shorter than minPromptLength (default: 5 characters) won’t trigger recall.
3. Verify plugin status:
   openclaw plugins list
   
   Confirm memory-plugin shows as enabled.

​

Plugin not loading

openclaw plugins doctor

​

Context not syncing from other platforms

1. The Maximem Vity Chrome extension installed for web-based LLMs.
2. Logged into the same Maximem account in both the extension and this plugin.
3. Enabled sync for the platforms you want (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) in your Vity settings.
