What it is
Our note
AgentCore Memory is the persistence layer: short-term memory captures turn-by-turn interactions inside a session, while long-term memory automatically extracts preferences, facts, and session summaries across sessions for long-term knowledge retention, exposed through SDKs and supported agent frameworks.
