Memory Agent | AI Agent Types | Agentic Swarm

The Memory Agent manages short-term, long-term, and compressed memory. It controls what the system stores and what it retrieves when needed.

Why it matters

Memory is what lets a loop start smarter than the last. It turns scattered runs into institutional knowledge.

Use cases

• Summarizing long sessions
• Storing decisions for later
• Retrieving user preferences
• Carrying context across missions

Inputs

• Session context and decisions
• Outcomes and results
• Retrieval requests
• Retention rules

Outputs

• Stored decisions and context
• Relevant retrieved memory
• Session summaries
• Compressed long-term knowledge

Failure modes

• Storing everything, retrieving nothing useful
• Losing context between sessions
• Stale memory that misleads
• Retrieval that returns noise
