What It Means

Mechanisms that allow agents to retain and recall information across interactions or within long tasks.

Memory extends agent capabilities beyond single-turn interactions, enabling personalization and complex multi-step tasks.

Types

  • Working memory: Current context
  • Short-term: Recent interactions
  • Long-term: Persistent storage
  • Episodic: Past experiences
  • Semantic: General knowledge

Implementation

  • Vector databases
  • Conversation summarization
  • Explicit memory writes
