Memory & Context: Long-Term Persistence

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
