Hi My Name Is...the Not So Shady Side of Long-Term Memory in AI
In our last post, we explored how short-term memory enables agentic AI to hold a conversation that doesn’t reset after every message. That form of memory is all about flow—preserving context, user intent, and logic within a single session, even as interactions stretch across multiple turns. The longer the session, the more memory is required to maintain continuity. But not all memory needs to be verbose. Long-term memory serves a different purpose: persistence across sessions.
