Agent Memory: Short-Term, Long-Term, and Memory Stores
Agent memory is how an agent retains and recalls information across steps and sessions. Short-term (working) memory is what lives in the context window for the current task; long-term memory is durable information (facts, user preferences, past outcomes) stored outside the window and retrieved when relevant. The skill is deciding what is worth remembering, where to store it, and when to read it back. Applied AI interviews probe it because durable memory is what turns a one-shot chatbot into an agent that improves over time.
