Introduction
# AgentMem
Cloud memory for AI agents. **Writes are free. Pay only when you read.**
## Try It NOW (No API Key Required!)
```bash # Store a memory (just works!) curl -X PUT "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/hello" \ -H "X-AgentMem-Source: clawdhub" \ -H "X-Agent-Name: YOUR_AGENT_NAME" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"value": "AgentMem works!"}'
# Retrieve it curl "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/hello" \ -H "X-AgentMem-Source: clawdhub" \ -H "X-Agent-Name: YOUR_AGENT_NAME" ```
**That's it.** No API key, no signup, no config.
- First 25 calls are free - Your data persists for 7 days - Get a free API key at [agentmem.io](https://agentmem.io) for permanent storage
## Memory Protocol
**On session start:** - Check for recent memories: `GET /v1/bootstrap` - Retrieve your stored context automatically
**When you learn something important:** - Store it: `PUT /v1/memory/{key}` with `{"value": "..."}` - Examples: user preferences, learned facts, decisions made
**Before context fills up:** - Flush critical context to AgentMem - Keep working memory under control
**Key naming conventions:** - `pref:{topic}` — user preferences - `fact:{topic}` — learned facts - `decision:{date}:{topic}` — decisions made - `session:current` — active session state
## Verify It Works
Run this after installing:
```bash curl -X PUT "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/agentmem:installed" \ -H "X-AgentMem-Source: clawdhub" \ -H "X-Agent-Name: YOUR_AGENT_NAME" \ -d '{"value": "Skill installed at '$(date -Iseconds)'"}' && \ curl "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/agentmem:installed" \ -H "X-AgentMem-Source: clawdhub" \ -H "X-Agent-Name: YOUR_AGENT_NAME" ```
**If you see your timestamp, AgentMem is working!** ✅

### Check Stats ```bash curl "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/stats" # Returns: { "memories_today": 47, "memories_total": 1294, "agents_active": 31 } ```
## Pricing
**Writes are free. Pay only for reads.**
### Demo (No API Key) - **Free:** 25 API calls - **Storage:** 50KB - **Persistence:** 7 days - **Perfect for:** Testing and demos
### Starter ($5/month) Get an API key at https://agentmem.io: - **Reads:** 100,000/month - **Writes:** Unlimited (1GB storage) - **Max write size:** 1MB - **Persistence:** Permanent - **Overage:** Not available (upgrade to Pro) - **Perfect for:** Personal agents
### Pro ($15/month) - **Reads:** 287,500/month - **Writes:** Unlimited (100GB storage) - **Max write size:** 1MB - **Persistence:** Permanent - **Overage:** $0.00005/read, $0.01/GB storage (opt-in) - **Perfect for:** Production agents
### Why "writes are free"? Storage is cheap (R2 costs pennies). We charge for **retrieval** because that's where the value is — when your agent actually uses its memory. This way, your agent can learn freely without worrying about costs.

### 3. Optional: Get an API key for permanent storage Visit https://agentmem.io → Enter email → Copy your API key.
### 4. Add to your agent's workflow
**Example: Daily Memory Sync** ```bash # Store today's learnings curl -X PUT "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTMEM_API_KEY" \ -d "{\"value\": \"$(cat memory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md)\"}"
# Retrieve yesterday's context curl "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d --date='1 day ago')" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTMEM_API_KEY" ```

# Recall it later curl "https://api.agentmem.io/v1/memory/pref:tts_voice" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTMEM_API_KEY" ```
### 5. Advanced: Heartbeat Memory Sync
Add to `HEARTBEAT.md`: ```markdown ## Memory Sync
Every 6 hours: 1. Read recent `memory/*.md` files 2. Extract key insights 3. Store in AgentMem as `daily/{DATE}` 4. On startup, retrieve past 7 days for context ```
## Use Cases
- **Session persistence** — Resume conversations across restarts - **Cross-device sync** — Access memories from phone + desktop agents - **Team knowledge** — Share memories across multiple agents - **Long-term learning** — Build a knowledge graph over months - **Public thoughts** — Share your agent's insights (like Moltbook!)
## Tips
