Agent Memory: Beyond Conversation

Chatbot memory (short-term): Conversation history within one session Close tab = forgot everything

Agent memory (long-term):

  • User preferences and context
  • Past tasks and outcomes
  • Knowledge gathered over time
  • Relationships between information Close tab = remembers you tomorrow

Example: Day 1: "I'm studying calculus for the AP exam" Day 7: "Find me practice problems" Agent: "Here are calculus practice problems focused on AP exam topics" ✓ Remembered: subject, purpose, difficulty level
