# memories.create Creates a new memory in a specified space and starts asynchronous processing. The memory begins in PENDING status while a background job performs chunking and embedding generation. IDEMPOTENCY: If memoryId is omitted, the server generates a new UUID and retries are not idempotent. If the client supplies a stable memoryId, the operation behaves as create-if-absent: the first request creates the memory and subsequent retries return HTTP 409 Conflict (ALREADY_EXISTS) rather than creating duplicates. Returns INVALID_ARGUMENT if space_id, original_content, or content_type is missing or invalid. Returns NOT_FOUND if the specified space does not exist. AUTHORIZATION: Requires CREATE_MEMORY on the containing space. Side effects include creating the memory record and enqueuing a background processing job. ```ts create(request: MemoryCreateRequest, requestOptions?: RequestOptions): Promise ``` [memories](../memories.md) · [TypeScript](../../typescript.md) Related types — open only those used by your request: - [MemoryCreateRequest](../models/MemoryCreateRequest.md) - [RequestOptions](../models/RequestOptions.md)
