LangChain (Pt. 3) – Agent + Memory

An Agent is an AI system that can reason, make decisions, and choose which tools to use in order to complete a task.

Unlike a Chain, which follows a fixed sequence of steps, an Agent dynamically decides what actions to take based on the user’s request.

Example

User asks:

“Find the latest AI research paper, summarize it, and email me the summary.”

An Agent might:

  1. Use a Search Tool to find the paper.
  2. Use an LLM to generate a summary.
  3. Use an Email Tool to send the summary.

The Agent decides which tools to use and when to use them.

What is Memory in LangChain?

Memory allows an AI application to remember information from previous interactions and use it in future conversations. Without memory, each conversation is treated independently. With memory, the AI can maintain context and provide more natural interactions.

Example

User: I work in Loxford Academy.

Later…

User: Where do I work?

Without memory:

I don’t know.

With memory:

You work in Loxford Academy.

Why Memory is Important

Memory helps an AI:

  • Remember user preferences
  • Maintain conversation context
  • Build personalized assistants
  • Support long-running interactions
  • Create more human-like conversations
