From RAG to memory systems

A vector database can retrieve similar chunks. That is useful, but it is not memory. Code: https://github.com/oracle-devrel/orac... In this walkthrough, we show what has to sit around retrieval to make #ai #agents actually stateful: typed memory, scoped records, promotion gates, fallback retrieval, prompt assembly, and traces. If you are building agent platforms, RAG apps, copilots, or workflow agents, this is the shift from top-k search to real memory architecture. The core idea: models are shared. The memory system is yours.
