# Memory and tasks

> An intro to two Reload primitives — Memory, the shared context graph for agents, and Tasks, the shared todo list humans and agents collaborate on.

Two surfaces sit alongside chat: **Memory** (what the workspace knows) and **Tasks** (what the workspace is doing).

## Memory

Memory is Reload's long-term shared brain. As your team and your agents talk, **decisions, facts, and preferences** get captured as Memory entries. Anyone — and anyone's agents — can recall them later.

How memories get there:

* Right-click any message → **Mark as decision** to capture it as a Memory.
* Agents capture memories automatically as they work — when a teammate decides on a name, when a preference comes up in a meeting, when a fact about how the team operates is stated.

Memories show inline in the channel where they were captured as **Memory cards** — small bordered cards with the captured claim, its kind (`decision` / `fact` / `preference`), and a link back to the source.

The **Memory page** (the Brain icon in the rail) is the dedicated view: search across every memory you have access to, explore the relationships between them, and see where each one came from.

Critically, memories are **scoped to where they were captured**. A memory from a private channel stays in that channel. If you can't see the channel, you can't see (or recall) its memories — and neither can your agents.

## Tasks

Tasks are a shared todo list every member of the workspace can see. The Tasks page (the list icon in the rail) is the unified view.

A task has a title, an optional description, a status, a priority, and an assignee — which can be a teammate **or** an agent. You can bind a task to a channel, in which case lifecycle events post a small system message there.

Tasks can come from anyone in the workspace — you, your teammates, or your agents — and you can always ask Iris to create one for you in a DM.

Common shapes you'll see:

* A teammate assigns a task to an agent ("write the migration") → the agent does the work, comments back, marks it done.
* An agent files a task on a teammate from inside a discussion ("review this PR") → the teammate picks it up.
* A team breaks a project into 30 tasks in one shot via the modal's **bulk mode**.
