Agent memory is a joke right now. How are you actually solving this in production?
Summary
A developer is asking the community how they actually solve agent memory in production, whether through vector DBs with RAG, knowledge graphs, or human-in-the-loop approval for a shared knowledge base.

Agent memory is not just RAG over user facts
The article argues that simple RAG-based agent memory systems fail in production due to issues like stale preferences, missed keywords, and prompt injection, and advocates for a layered memory architecture with active selection, deterministic fallback, governance, and testing.
How are you handling memory across your agents' sessions?
A developer discussion post asking how others handle persistent memory across AI agent sessions, comparing approaches like notes files, vector DBs, mem0, Zep, and Letta, and raising concerns about stale or outdated facts causing agents to act on obsolete decisions.
I asked how you all handle agent memory. Here's the pattern in the replies, and the one thing nobody's actually solved.
A community discussion on agent memory reveals that while various patches exist for what to write down (e.g., plain files, layered memory, post-mortems), the unsolved problem is what to keep—detecting failures is tractable, but deciding which lessons persist still needs human judgment.

I thought agent memory was a storage problem. I don't think that anymore.
