## Session Description
Agents generate a constant stream of experience through traces: tool calls, failures, corrections, routing decisions, and user feedback. The challenge is identifying which parts of that experience are worth remembering, and making those lessons available to the agent when it runs again. This talk presents memory as an agent learning loop: capture traces, extract signal, and turn the right lessons into durable context. We'll explore practical models for agent memory and discuss how to build systems where the next run can be better than the last.

## Media Evidence
No related AI Engineer channel video found yet.

## Evidence Graph
This evidence graph is generated from currently linked source material: official schedule text, related video pages, cached transcripts, visible slide text, dense/reconstructed slide pages, and AI slide-classification audits.

### Media Signals
No linked video, transcript, or slide source has been attached yet.

### Agent Reading Notes
Use these signals to refine the synopsis, topic links, people/company context, and method notes. If a source is a related external video rather than an exact official recording, keep it framed as supporting evidence.

## Transcript Status
No official session recording transcript was found by exact title match on the AI Engineer YouTube channel during this run.
