OpenClaw forgets.
db0 remembers what matters.
Turn conversations, files, and compaction leftovers into durable memory that stays useful over time.
$ npx @db0-ai/openclaw init
Why OpenClaw still loses
important knowledge
Chat-only instructions disappear
If it never becomes memory, it dies with the conversation.
Compaction keeps the summary, not the detail
The gist survives. The exact constraint usually doesn't.
Old knowledge doesn't retire itself
When something changes, the old version still competes with the new one.
A saved log is not a usable memory
Stored text is not the same as current, structured knowledge.
What db0 adds
Saves what matters before it's lost
Before old messages disappear, db0 pulls out the important parts and stores them as durable memory. Preferences, decisions, and other lasting facts survive.
Keeps facts current
When something changes, db0 can mark the old version as outdated instead of leaving both to compete forever. Your agent gets a clearer picture of what is true now.
Makes memory inspectable
Memory is not a black box. You can trace what was stored, see when it changed, and recover earlier state when something goes wrong.
Shares the right knowledge across agents
When OpenClaw spawns a helper agent, durable user-level knowledge can already be available. The child starts with more context and less repeated explanation.
