# Introduction

> xysq is a consent-first memory layer for AI agents.

## What is xysq?

xysq gives your AI agents persistent, identity-aware memory — with you in control of what they remember. Connect xysq once, and every tool you use (Claude, Cursor, Codex, and more) shares the same memory: facts you've taught it, files you've uploaded, decisions your team has made. No more starting from zero in every new conversation.

The boundary is consent. Your memory belongs to you. Agents only retain and recall within the limits you set.

## Get started in four steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your agent">
    Install the xysq CLI and pair it with the AI agent you use. The CLI wires up the xysq MCP server and installs a small skill that teaches your agent the retain/recall protocol.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Organise — upload your first file">
    Drop a document, a chat transcript, or a link into your xysq vault. xysq reads it, extracts knowledge, and makes it available to every connected agent.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Chat — ask about that file">
    Open the xysq chat (or any connected agent) and ask a question about what you just uploaded. The agent recalls relevant snippets automatically — no manual context needed.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Teams — create your first team for collaborative memory">
    Invite a teammate, and your team shares a vault. Decisions, context, and uploads accumulate as one memory the whole team can recall from — across every agent each member uses.
