State tracks what is happening in the current task, while memory can preserve useful information across steps or interactions.
Memory and state are ways an AI agent keeps track of information while it works and across interactions.
State = current task information. Memory = information retained or retrieved beyond the immediate step. Context Window = what the model can currently see.
State is the notes currently open on your desk. Memory is a notebook or filing cabinet. Context is the information physically available on the desk right now.
State holds the current itinerary; memory recalls a preferred hotel area.
State holds the open case; memory retrieves prior customer history.
Memory is stored for later; context is visible now.
Memory can persist; state tracks current progress.
Memory is external information; parameters are learned values.
State tracks the current task, while memory preserves information that may be useful later.
