Agent Memory Requires Session State, Shared Workflow State, and Persistence

Google Cloud’s Annie Wang argues that agents that forget recent user context are usually facing an architecture problem, not a model problem. In a Serverless Expeditions walkthrough with Martin Omander, she says useful agent systems need integrated memory alongside models and tools, and lays out three initial patterns: session state for the current conversation, shared state for multi-agent workflows, and persistence for memory that survives restarts and future sessions.
