Agent Memory & State
How do context window limits differ from persisted agent state?
Context window limits and persisted agent state serve entirely different purposes for AI agent workflows. Context windows constrain the maximum size of in-line model input for a single call, while persisted state stores long-term task history and execution data across multiple calls or interruptions. Caveat: Persisted state can supplement limited context windows by fetching relevant historical data on demand.
