DEFINITION

Agent Memory

Agent Memory System

Definition

The mechanisms by which agents store and retrieve information across sessions. Memory types: short-term (within a session), long-term (persisted to files or DB), episodic (specific events), and semantic (general knowledge). Without memory, agents start fresh every conversation.

Examples in the Wild

  • Example 1:OpenClaw stores memory in MEMORY.md and daily log files
  • Example 2:ElizaOS agents use vector databases for semantic memory retrieval
