AI Agents with Built-in Memory
Blog post from Convex
Ian Macartney's text discusses the challenges and solutions involved in building AI agents with built-in memory, focusing on the new Agent component which facilitates creating and managing complex agentic workflows. These workflows involve asynchronous, long-lived operations that utilize agents as conceptual units of responsibility, often calling on large language models (LLMs) for specific tasks. The Agent component allows for storing and retrieving message histories, incorporating tools for real-time queries, and running workflows durably to ensure reliability even in case of server crashes. It supports hybrid text and vector searches to provide context, and offers customizable features for integrating with existing systems. The text emphasizes the balance between leveraging pre-built components and allowing for custom control, advocating for composability and clarity in designing AI workflows. Additionally, the text highlights the flexibility of using agents in different environments and the potential to customize or override default settings to suit specific use cases.
