Key Takeaways
Introduces Cognis, a memory layer for AI agents, and its implementation
Original Description
Your AI agent doesn’t have a memory problem.
It has a forgetting problem.
Every time a session ends,
your agent resets.
It forgets who you are.
What you said.
What matters.
That’s why AI feels inconsistent.
In this video, we introduce Cognis,
Lyzr’s memory layer for AI agents.
With just a few lines of code,
your agent can:
extract facts from conversations
update memory over time
avoid contradictions
and retrieve relevant context across sessions
No vector database setup.
No complex infrastructure.
Just memory that actually works.
Because real AI systems don’t just respond.
They remember.
