## Content

# Overview

AI Agent persistence enables cross-session intelligence. This article covers three memory architectures.

## Three Memory Architectures

| Architecture | Storage | Persistence | Difficulty |
|--------------|---------|-------------|------------|
| Context Window | LLM Context | Session | Low |
| Vector Store | Chroma/PG | Permanent | Medium |
| Episodic Log | Database | Permanent | High |
