VCN #33: Total Recall - Memory for Agentic Systems - Open Registration
Memory for agentic systems.
Your agent forgot what you told it last Tuesday. Your RAG retrieved the wrong chunk. Your context window filled up at 180K and Claude Code summarized away the part you needed. You tried Mem0, then Letta, then Zep, and now you are not sure if "memory" is RAG with extra steps, a vector store, a knowledge graph, a checkpointer, or three of those at once.
It is all four. They are different things.
VCN #33: Total Recall is a builder night for the people writing agents in 2026. We unpack what memory for agents actually means in practice. The short version:
Context engineering. Anthropic's memory tool, compaction, tool result clearing. How to fit more in the working set without burning tokens.
External retrieval. RAG, but the second generation. Vector DB vs knowledge graph. When each one wins.
Persistent state across sessions. Mem0, Letta, Zep, Graphiti. The layer that makes your agent remember facts and preferences across a week.
Procedural memory. CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md. The DIY pattern that quietly turned into the killer use case.
Format: 15 minute talks plus live demos. Builders only. Bring questions, bring your agent's worst forgetting bug.
Doors 7pm. Talks 7:30. Frontier Tower Floor 10 (Annex).
Hosted by Rayyan Zahid.
RSVP if you are building an agent that needs to remember.
