# Memory

> Enable persistent memory for agents across conversations

> Configures a memory manager that stores and retrieves memories across agent conversations.

## `agno/memory/manager`

## Dependencies

**Depends on:**

* `agno/db/postgres` (required) — database for memory storage
* `agno/models/anthropic` or `agno/models/openai` (optional) — model for memory classification

**Depended on by:**

* `agno/agent` — in the `memory` field
* `agno/team` — in the `memory` field

## Example

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
provider: agno
resource: memory/manager
name: agent-memory
config:
  db:
    provider: agno
    resource: db/postgres
    name: agent-db
  model:
    provider: agno
    resource: models/openai
    name: gpt4
  add_memories: true
  update_memories: true
  memory_capture_instructions: "Remember user preferences and important facts."
```

## Notes

* The memory manager stores memories in the PostgreSQL database configured via `db`.
* When a `model` is provided, it is used to classify and process memories. Without a model, memories are stored as-is.
* To use memory with an agent, you also need to enable `enable_agentic_memory: true` on the agent config.
