Designing Persistent Memory for Production AI Agents: A Five‑Stage Pipeline and Four Design Patterns

Production AI agents require persistent memory to maintain continuity, learn from interactions, and recover from failures, but naïvely stuffing full conversation history into the LLM context incurs prohibitive latency and cost; this article outlines four memory types, a five‑stage pipeline, four design patterns, and practical metrics for building efficient, auditable memory systems.
