# Memory
> Configure persistent cross-session memory for this project's agents in MyaiOne for Development — enable an embedded database for cross-session context with semantic search, or fall back to local file-based memory.
The **Memory** settings control how agents remember things about this project across sessions. With memory enabled, agents retain context from one session to the next; without it, they fall back to a simpler local store. This is what powers the knowledge you see in [Context → Memories](/context/memories).
## Enable Memory
* **Enable Memory** — turn on persistent cross-session memory, backed by an embedded database (LadybugDB). This gives agents durable cross-session context with **semantic search** over what they've learned.
A status indicator shows whether memory is currently **Enabled** or **Disabled** for the project.
## File-based fallback
When memory is disabled, the project uses **file-based memory** instead: session insights are stored locally in JSON files. This still captures insights, but without the persistent cross-session context and semantic search that enabling memory provides.
The difference is durability and searchability. **File-based memory** keeps session insights in local JSON files; **enabling Memory** stores them in an embedded database so agents get persistent cross-session context with semantic search across everything they've learned.
Enable Memory for any project you'll work on over time — the cross-session context and semantic search mean agents (and teammates) stop rediscovering the same patterns and gotchas. You can review what's been captured on the [Memories](/context/memories) page.
Remember to save your changes for them to take effect.
