Agent Memory Atlas

A field guide that maps AI-agent memory systems for humans and agents alike: structured source records, taxonomy axes, tags, confidence scores, provenance, and verification hints - an atlas rather than another paper list.

Key takeaways

  • 01

    Taxonomy axes (store type, write policy, recall policy) organize the space

  • 02

    Confidence scores and provenance belong in memory metadata

  • 03

    Verification hints make memory auditable

Memory

The foundational papers of agent memory, ranked

| src-001 | MemGPT: Towards LLMs as Operating Systems (Oct 2023) | OS-inspired tiered memory architecture |
| src-002 | Generative Agents (Apr 2023) | Memory stream + reflection; ablation showed emergent coordination requires consolidation |
| src-003 | A-MEM: Agentic Memory for LLM Agents (Feb 2025) | Zettelkasten-inspired note-linking; atomic units with dynamic connections |
| src-007 | CoALA (Sep 2023) | Four-type cognitive memory model |
| src-009 | Zep/Graphiti (Jan 2025) | Bi-temporal graph knowledge base |

A 122-source atlas of agent-memory research with an 8-axis taxonomy; this start-here table is the fastest orientation to the field's foundational ideas.
