# Memory

> Long-term and short-term memory that persists across sessions.

Minds have access to both long-term memory (LTM) and short-term memory (STM), which persist across each user session. This allows your Mind to recall past conversations and follow up without being reminded.

Memory is part of the [Soul](/docs/concepts/soul). Episodes capture what happened in past sessions; [Tenets](/docs/concepts/tenet) are the durable rules and facts the Mind carries forward. As a [Steward](/docs/concepts/steward), you can manage the Tenet layer directly.
