AI Agents Don't Need a Bigger Prompt. They Need Governed Memory

AI Agents Don't Need a Bigger Prompt. They Need Governed Memory

Short summary

AI agents need governed memory with lifecycle management, not just bigger context windows. Aura Memory is an open-source Rust-core runtime that stores observations across four levels (Working, Decisions, Domain, Identity) with decay, promotion, and provenance tracking. It runs locally without LLM calls and works with any model or agent framework.

  • •Memory needs lifecycle: store, retrieve, inspect provenance, decay or promote
  • •Aura Memory organizes records into Working, Decisions, Domain, and Identity levels
  • •Cognitive overlays build beliefs, concepts, causal patterns, and advisory policy hints

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
