Agent Intelligence Overview
Agent Intelligence features enable your AI agents to remember important information, store reusable outputs, and provide personalized, context-aware responses over time.
Why Agent Intelligence Matters
Without memory and context features, every agent interaction starts from scratch. Agents would:
- Ask the same questions repeatedly
- Forget user preferences and history
- Redo research that was already completed
- Miss important organizational policies
Agent Intelligence solves these problems by giving agents the ability to:
- Remember - Store facts about contacts, preferences, and organizational policies
- Reuse - Cache expensive research and analysis for future use
- Learn - Build up knowledge over time from interactions
Components
Memories
Memories store facts and context that agents can recall during processing:
| Memory Type | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Memories | Facts about individual contacts (preferences, projects, communication style) | All plans |
| Global Memories | Company-wide policies and guidelines injected into all agent executions | Pro Plus |
Example use cases:
- Personal: "John prefers email responses in bullet points"
- Personal: "Sarah is working on Project Phoenix with deadline March 15"
- Global: "Always mention our 30-day return policy for product inquiries"
- Global: "Escalate any emails mentioning legal action to the legal team"
Artifacts
Artifacts store large agent-generated outputs for reuse:
- Research reports
- Data analyses
- Processed datasets
- Generated documents
Key benefits:
- Avoid redundant work - Don't repeat expensive research
- Reduce context bloat - Reference artifacts instead of including full content
- Enable sharing - Multiple agents can access the same artifact
- Track usage - See how often artifacts are accessed

Automatic vs Manual Management
Agent-Created
Agents can create memories and artifacts automatically during execution:
- Memory tools:
manage_personal_memory,manage_global_memory - Artifact tools:
store_artifact
Configure agents with appropriate instructions to use these tools effectively.
Admin-Created
Administrators can manually create and manage:
- Global memories - Define organizational policies
- Personal memories - Pre-populate contact information
Access these through:
- Admin > Data & Logs > Memories for both memory types
- Admin > Data & Logs > Artifacts for artifact management
Best Practices
For Memory Usage
- Start with global policies - Create global memories for organization-wide rules before deploying agents
- Let agents learn - Allow agents to create personal memories from interactions
- Review regularly - Periodically audit memories for accuracy and relevance
- Set expirations - Use expiration dates for time-sensitive information
For Artifact Usage
- Enable for research agents - Assign artifact tools to agents that perform expensive research
- Use appropriate TTLs - Set validity periods based on content freshness needs
- Categorize consistently - Use consistent categories and tags for discoverability
- Monitor usage - Review artifact access patterns to optimize caching
