And once you understand that, everything changes. In this video, I break down exactly how Openclaw memory works under the hood: what it actually stores, the difference between memory-core (the default) and QMD (the advanced local-first search engine), and the #1 setup mistake that silently kills your agent's ability to remember anything — your embedding provider. If your agent keeps forgetting context, losing leads, or giving you stale answers, this video is why. What you'll learn: ✅ The real structure of Openclaw memory (MEMORY.md + daily notes) ✅ Memory-core vs QMD — which one you actually need ✅ How to enable QMD step-by-step ✅ QMD vs Mem0 — when to use each ✅ Why Anthropic users MUST configure a separate embedding provider ✅ How to verify your memory system is actually working Chapters: 0:00 - Why most people have Openclaw memory wrong 0:25 - What Openclaw memory actually is (Markdown files) 1:05 - Memory-core: the default retrieval system 2:25 - QMD: advanced local-first search 3:25 - How to set up QMD step-by-step 4:40 - QMD vs Mem0: which one to choose 5:45 - Embedding providers (the hidden requirement) 6:55 - How to verify your setup #Openclaw #AIAgents #AIAutomation #OpenclawMemory #AIWorkflow
