MemMachine: Agents That Learn, Memory That Lasts

Session Track: Graph Memory & Agents

Session Time:

Session description

Switching AI model providers (and even models) is hard, as you need to start from scratch and input your context every time you switch. This talk will introduce MemMachine, an open-source memory layer for AI agents. It enables AI-powered applications to learn, store, and recall data and preferences from past sessions to enrich future interactions.

Since it’s using Neo4j in the back to store and refine memories, this talk will focus on how our understanding of how to store, refine, and retrieve memories evolved over time and how we leverage Neo4j.
