// how it works

How it works

  1. Install OpenClaw first

    Memory-LanceDB-Pro is a plugin for the OpenClaw agent runtime, so have a working OpenClaw setup.

  2. Install the plugin

    Install memory-lancedb-pro (beta channel) via the OpenClaw plugin command or npm.

  3. Configure it

    Set it as the memory slot in openclaw.json, choose an embedding provider, and validate the config.

  4. Restart and chat

    Restart the gateway and hold a conversation — facts are captured and recalled automatically.

// features

Why people love it

LLM-powered smart extraction

Conversations are distilled into six memory categories automatically, not stored as raw transcripts.

Hybrid retrieval with reranking

Vector search plus BM25 keyword search, re-ranked by a cross-encoder for precision.

Multi-scope isolation

Memories are separated per agent, user, or project to prevent cross-contamination.

Intelligent forgetting

A Weibull decay model ages memories so stale facts fade like human memory.

Canonical corpus indexing

Your MEMORY.md and memory files are indexed and searchable alongside captured facts.

Management CLI

Backup, export, import, upgrade, and re-embed commands keep the memory store maintainable.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone the project and enter its directory (most users install the plugin directly, next step).

    git clone https://github.com/CortexReach/memory-lancedb-pro.git
    cd memory-lancedb-pro
  2. Install the plugin

    Install into OpenClaw from the beta channel (or `npm i memory-lancedb-pro@beta`).

    openclaw plugins install memory-lancedb-pro@beta
  3. Configure and restart

    Point OpenClaw's memory slot at the plugin in openclaw.json, validate, and restart the gateway.

    openclaw config validate
    openclaw gateway restart

Questions, answered

Who maintains Memory-LanceDB-Pro?

CortexReach develops the plugin for the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Is it free?

The plugin's README badge states the MIT license. You supply an embedding provider — local Ollama embeddings can avoid API costs.

Does it need a paid API key?

Only if you pick a hosted embedding provider (OpenAI, Jina, Gemini); Ollama or a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint works without one.

How does it compare to OpenClaw's built-in memory?

The plugin adds LLM-based extraction, hybrid vector+BM25 retrieval with reranking, multi-scope isolation, and decay-based forgetting beyond basic storage.

How do I get started?

Run `openclaw plugins install memory-lancedb-pro@beta`, set the memory slot and embedding provider in openclaw.json, then `openclaw gateway restart`.
