Agentic AI & Memory
Definition
Agents that persist knowledge across interactions instead of starting from scratch each time.
Explanation
Stateful agents maintain context, memory, preferences, goals, and previous steps across sessions. This enables long-term workflows, personalization, and multi-step reasoning. They use structured memory, vector stores, or episodic logs to build continuity. Stateful agents are essential for enterprise copilots and autonomous workflows that span days or weeks.
Technical Architecture
User Input → Agent → Memory Write/Update → Memory Store → Memory Retrieval → Next Step
