Agent Memory & Retrieval
Definition
Systems that route what should be stored, recalled, or forgotten in agent memory.
Explanation
Memory routing determines what information should be added to long-term memory, remain in short-term memory, or be discarded. It prevents memory overload, ensures relevance, and improves agent recall accuracy. Systems use classifiers, embeddings, and heuristics to decide memory placement.
Technical Architecture
Event → Memory Router → (Short-Term / Long-Term / Forget) → Retrieval Layer → Agent
Core Component
Memory classifier, embedding model, scoring engine, storage manager
Use Cases
Long-running agents, personal assistants, enterprise copilots
Pitfalls
Bad routing leads to memory clutter or forgetting essential data
