Team Brain
Team Brain is a persistent, searchable memory system for AI agents that stores learned knowledge, preferences, and processes while automatically filtering out sensitive personal data.
What is team brain?
Team Brain is a persistent memory system that sits outside the AI agent itself. While AI agents process conversations using a context window (a limited amount of text the model can consider at once), Team Brain provides long-term storage for knowledge the agent learns over time. This includes client preferences, business processes, frequently asked questions, escalation rules, contact information, and decisions the team has made.
Without persistent memory, an AI agent forgets everything between conversations. It cannot learn that a client prefers morning meetings, that a specific product question comes up every week, or that a particular issue should always be escalated. Team Brain solves this by giving the agent a searchable knowledge base that grows and improves with every interaction.
Critically, Team Brain includes automatic detection and filtering of sensitive personal information. Before any memory is stored, the system scans for and strips patterns like email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, and API keys. This ensures that sensitive data does not accumulate in the agent's long-term memory, even if it appears in conversations.
Why it matters
Memory is what transforms an AI agent from a stateless chatbot into a useful team member. An agent that remembers your processes, your clients' preferences, and your team's decisions gets more valuable over time. It stops asking the same questions and starts anticipating needs.
But persistent memory also creates a data privacy concern. Conversations often contain sensitive information: personal details, financial data, credentials, and proprietary business information. Without proper filtering, this data accumulates in the agent's memory and becomes a liability. Team Brain addresses both needs: rich, growing memory with automatic sensitive data protection.
How ClawTrust handles this
Every ClawTrust agent includes Team Brain as a built-in feature. The memory system runs on dedicated infrastructure separate from your agent server. All stored memories are encrypted and searchable. Automatic PII detection strips sensitive patterns before storage. Pro and Enterprise plans include a daily reflection process where the agent reviews its memories, archives low-quality entries, and generates synthesis insights to improve its knowledge base over time. You can view, edit, and delete memories through the dashboard at any time.

AI Agent
An AI agent is an autonomous AI assistant that can take actions on your behalf: sending messages, scheduling meetings, writing code, and managing tasks across multiple platforms.
OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a powerful open-source AI agent framework that lets you deploy autonomous assistants across messaging channels. Out of the box, it prioritizes ease of use over security.
Credential Vault
A credential vault is an encrypted storage system that keeps API keys, passwords, and tokens separate from the agent server. The agent never directly handles your credentials.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of information does Team Brain store?
Team Brain stores learned facts, client preferences, business processes, FAQ answers, escalation rules, contact details (after PII filtering), and decisions. It categorizes memories by type so the agent can quickly find relevant context for any conversation.
How does PII filtering work?
Before any memory is stored, the system scans the text for patterns matching email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, IP addresses, and API keys. Detected patterns are stripped or redacted before the memory is saved. This happens automatically on every memory write.
Can I see what my agent has memorized?
Yes. The ClawTrust dashboard provides a full view of your agent's Team Brain memories. You can search, filter by type, view individual entries, edit content, and delete memories you do not want retained.
Does Team Brain work across messaging channels?
Yes. Memories are shared across all channels. If your agent learns something in a Slack conversation, it can recall that knowledge when responding to an email or WhatsApp message. The memory is tied to the agent, not to any specific channel.
What is the daily reflection process?
On Pro and Enterprise plans, your agent runs a daily review of its memories. It archives low-quality or outdated entries, consolidates related memories, and generates synthesis insights. This keeps the knowledge base clean and increasingly useful over time.
