Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

AI Agent Memory Systems is a guide to designing what an agent remembers, for how long, and how it finds what it remembers when it needs it. Memory is the subsystem that lets an agent's behavior improve across interactions rather than starting fresh every time - and it is also where privacy risk, staleness, and quiet corruption most often accumulate.

Eleven chapters cover the full memory stack:

- Memory as an agent subsystem: distinct memory roles, state boundaries, lifecycle, and architectural privacy- Short-term context management: working context, turn history, context budgets, recency weighting- Long-term memory architecture: persistent stores, episodic memory, semantic memory, profiles- Retrieval for agent memory: embedding search, metadata filters, ranking, freshness- Summarization and compression: memory summaries, fact extraction, context compression, loss control- Memory write policies: salience, deduplication, confidence, retention- Memory consistency and updating: conflict resolution, staleness, revision, deletion- Privacy and access control: sensitive data classification, permissions, retention limits, auditability- Memory evaluation: retrieval quality, factual persistence, contamination testing, behavior impact- Production memory operations: monitoring, migration, backups, continuous tuning>Every section pairs the concept with the trade-off that makes it a real engineering decision, the pitfall teams most often hit, and practical checks. Each chapter closes with a worked scenario.

Four appendices cover architectural comparisons, a memory maturity model, a failure-mode reference organized by symptom, and common questions.

Written for engineers building AI agents, copilots, and any system where persistent memory shapes user-facing behavior.
