- The upgrade focuses on remembering user preferences, plans and previous agreements.
- API, MCP and CLI access connect memory functions to existing agent workflows.
Memory across conversations
Alibaba Cloud has upgraded its Memory service for personal AI agents, according to a November 2 report by IT Home. The report says Alibaba Cloud announced the changes that day, describing an upgrade made recently rather than specifying an exact rollout date.
The service extracts key information from conversations and saves it as memories and user profiles under defined rules. In later sessions, an agent can retrieve relevant memories using the user's identity and current question, then add them to its task context, IT Home reported.
Developer controls and integrations
Developers can customize memory rules and profile fields, inspect saved content, debug retrieval and track changes through a console, the report said. API access supports writing, viewing and semantically searching memories; MCP and CLI connections can integrate the service with tools including Codex and Claude Code.
Memory can also work alongside Skills: it stores individual preferences while a Skill packages reusable task steps, according to the report. That separates personal context from repeatable workflows.
