One of the most common frustrations when building AI agents is watching them forget everything the moment a conversation ends—or worse, running out of context halfway through a long session. Memory is what separates a toy chatbot from a production-grade agent. In this guide, you will build a two-tier memory system: fast in-memory buffer for recent turns, and a persistent vector store for long-term recall.

They solve different problems, and choosing the wrong one for your use case creates real friction. This guide cuts through the confusion. I will show you exactly what each framework is designed for, where each one breaks down, and how to make the decision for your specific project. ...
