Memory Systems for Agents

Agent memory systems manage how AI agents store, retrieve, and use information across interactions and sessions. This includes short-term memory (current conversation context), working memory (task-relevant information assembled for a specific job), long-term memory (persistent knowledge about users, preferences, and past interactions), and episodic memory (specific past events the agent can recall). Effective memory is what turns a stateless API call into an agent that actually knows you and gets better over time.
