Key Takeaways
Builds an AI agent that remembers across sessions using LangChain and Oracle AI Database 26ai
Original Description
Check out the Github notebook here →https://fandf.co/4syWH3o
Try LangChain and Oracle AI Database 26ai → https://fandf.co/4syWH3o
Your AI agent works perfectly… until the next session. Then it forgets everything.
Not because your code failed. Not because the LLM is bad. But because AI agents are stateless by design.
In this video, we build an AI agent from scratch that actually remembers across sessions, understands context semantically, and retrieves past knowledge without stitching together multiple systems.
You’ll learn:
• Why most AI agents forget
• The hidden problem with memory layers
• Why using 3 systems (cache + DB + vector DB) is fragile
• The architecture shift that simplifies everything
• How to build persistent memory using a single database
• How semantic recall actually works in production
We’ll implement a working agent using LangChain and Oracle AI Database 26ai, running locally with Docker.
