Agent Memory & State
How do workflow state, conversation memory, and retrieval corpora differ for AI agents?
Workflow state, conversation memory, and retrieval corpora each serve distinct specialized roles in AI agent durable execution. Workflow state persists critical execution data to enable resuming interrupted runs as the core durable execution foundation. Conversation memory tracks chat history, often linked to workflow state for replay needs, while retrieval corpora are external vector stores separate from core execution layers. One key caveat is that not all conversation memory requires persistence for workflows that do not need replay functionality.
