Overview

Memory in Sawmills Agent means conversation context. It allows the agent to use earlier messages in the same conversation so you do not need to repeat the full situation in every prompt.

​
What Memory Helps With

Memory is useful when you want to:
  • ask follow-up questions
  • narrow down a previous answer
  • continue a longer investigation
  • refer back to earlier findings or attached files

​
What Carries Forward in a Conversation

In a conversation, Sawmills Agent can use context such as:
  • previous user messages
  • previous agent responses
  • files and supporting material shared in that conversation
  • earlier conclusions reached in the same investigation

​
Best Way to Use Memory

To get the most value from memory:
  • keep related questions in the same conversation
  • restate the scope only when it changes
  • start a new conversation when you change topics entirely

​
Limits

Memory should not be treated as a replacement for a clear prompt. If a request is too broad or the context changes significantly, provide a short restatement of what you need. If an answer looks off, add more detail in the same conversation before starting over.
