Agent Memory
The mechanisms by which an AI agent stores and retrieves information across interactions, enabling it to maintain context, learn from past actions, and build knowledge over time.
In Depth
Agent memory comes in several forms. Short-term memory is the conversation context within a single session. Long-term memory persists across sessions using vector databases, key-value stores, or structured knowledge graphs. Episodic memory records past experiences so the agent can learn from successes and failures. Working memory holds the agent's current plan and intermediate results. Effective memory management is what separates a capable agent from a stateless chatbot.
