Session Title: Best Practices for Memory Implementation Supporting AI Agent 'Long-term Memory'
Session Content:
As AI evolves from 'chat' to 'autonomous agents,' the primary users of databases are shifting from humans to agents. A key to this paradigm shift is the implementation of 'long-term memory.' Based on cutting-edge case studies managing 1 million-scale logical databases, we will reveal how to build an 'agent-native' memory foundation that balances cost-efficiency and intelligence.
