Memory could be a database of facts, a vector store of embedded knowledge, or any repository the agent can query. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, a customer support AI agent might have a knowledge base of FAQs and past interactions to draw from when answering a question.

Depending on its role, an agent\u2019s \u201csensors\u201d could be physical (cameras, microphones, IoT sensors) or virtual (APIs, real-time data feeds, user input text). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, an AI security agent might take in video feeds and network logs to detect anomalies, while a shopping assistant agent perceives user queries and browsing behavior as input.

The agent uses a knowledge store (like a vector database or search index) to pull in relevant information for each query and the LLM uses that info to craft its answer. This is ideal when you want up-to-date or company-specific knowledge without training a giant model on all of it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Custom ML model\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In some cases, you might need a <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">custom ML model<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (or a collection of models) trained for a specific task.

As discussed earlier, memory could be short-term and long-term. For a chatbot agent, this might mean setting up a mechanism to store the conversation context so the agent can reference earlier messages \u2013 this could be as simple as passing the last N messages into the model each time, or as complex as maintaining a vector database of the conversation so far. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For an agent that needs business knowledge, this is where you implement a <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">retrieval system<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. You\u2019ll index your documents or data into a vector database or search engine. The result is that when the agent gets a query it can\u2019t answer from its own model knowledge, it will fetch relevant info from the index to include in its response. If your agent is more process-oriented (say an automation agent that executes tasks), memory might be maintaining state of a workflow. This step is all about ensuring the agent isn\u2019t operating blind each time \u2013 it can recall what\u2019s needed. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Concretely, set up your databases here, load initial data.
