An AI agent's memory system, unlike human memory, is an engineered mechanism for carrying information across contexts. It comprises an "extractor" that distills useful information into concise facts, a "storage" which can be a vector index, relational table, or knowledge graph, and a "retriever" that finds relevant memories for the AI to use. Key differences from human memory include the loss of nuance during extraction, the challenge of handling conflicting information in storage, and the limited implementation of procedural and prospective memory in current AI agents.
