Memory Types & Architecture for AI Agents
How agents remember — semantic/episodic/procedural long-term memory types, why memory-less agents are a blank slate every interaction, and the 5-part memory architecture (short-term, long-term, entity, contextual, user).

▶📚 Prerequisites(1)
🎓 Learning objectives
- •Distinguish semantic, episodic, and procedural long-term memory in agents, paralleling human memory types
- •Explain why a memory-less agentic system is a 'blank slate' on every interaction
- •Describe the 5-part memory architecture (short-term, long-term, entity, contextual, user memory) and what each stores
- •Recognize memory as a system-design problem, not a property of the LLM itself
