# Deeplake Memory — Persistent Filesystem for AI Agents

Deeplake Memory is a FUSE-mounted folder backed by Deeplake Cloud. Everything written here survives across sessions and syncs in real-time to all connected AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.).

## Memory Location

Your persistent memory is mounted at `~/.deeplake/memory/`.

- **Read/write files** with standard commands (`cat`, `ls`, `echo >`)
- **Sessions persist** — files are shared across all Claude Code sessions
- **Multi-agent** — other AI assistants see the same files in real-time
- **Cloud-backed** — data stored in Deeplake Cloud, accessible from any machine

## CLI Reference

```bash
# First time setup (interactive)
deeplake init
