Steps to reproduce

Your blog:Dify Conversation Variables: Building a Simplified OpenAI Memory claims "Conversation Variables are short-term memory units employed by Dify to provide temporary storage in multi-turn conversations within chatflows."

So,

1. Are Conversation Variables belong to Short-term memory or Long-term memory?
2. The memory in ChatFlow can be save and the recall by other agent? workflow? or chatflow?
3. My requirement involves multiple agents collaborating, incorporating both internal intent recognition and external tool invocation capabilities. For instance, one agent could recommend movies and assist with booking tickets, while another handles daily conversational tasks. How to make the two of the memory sharing?

1. Conversation Variables in Dify belong to short-term memory. They are used to temporarily store information within the same Chatflow session, allowing for context maintenance and user preference tracking during the conversation ^[1].

2. I wasn't able to find specific information on whether memory in ChatFlow can be saved and recalled by other agents, workflows, or chatflows in Dify. This functionality might not be supported or documented in the available resources.

3. Regarding memory sharing between multiple agents, I couldn't find specific details on how Dify handles collaboration between agents or memory sharing. This might require custom implementation or further exploration of Dify's capabilities beyond the available documentation.
