Agent Memory
The mechanisms by which an AI agent retains and recalls information across interactions and sessions.
What is Agent Memory?
Agent memory spans short-term (within a conversation), long-term (across sessions), and episodic (specific past events). Without memory, agents repeat mistakes, lose context, and cannot learn from prior interactions. Enterprise memory adds access controls so agents only recall what they are authorised to. See Agent Memory and Memory Patterns for AI Agents.
