Memory Agent

What Memory Agent does

A memory agent is an AI system that stores inspectable notes and retrieves them later. Memory is stored information, not a model’s private thoughts. Users should be able to see, correct, and delete what was saved.

The agent decides whether a fact should be stored, writes it to a memory tool, and retrieves relevant notes on later requests. Conflicts are surfaced, not averaged away. Conceptual simulation.
