AI Agents Memory empowered by Knowledge Graphs
AI Agents Memory empowered by Knowledge Graphs
connecting the dots for better conversational agents
About the Book
I built a few conversational agents that are privacy-focused, and we realized that we need a memory.
It is a compilation of my Medium articles on graph and memory topics. We need a memory to make the agent smart, and this book is not a solution, nor does it guide you on how to build a memory. Still, it explains how knowledge graphs and metagraphs are essential for memory and how to build a better memory for AI agents based on the graph approach. So it's a graph book, actually, but with the artificial intelligence flavour.
We will touch:
- Why is memory not RAG
- how to model AI memory
- graphs
- graph evolution for a memory
- meta and hypergraphs
- temporal aspect of memory
- event graphs
- casual graph
- semantic space time
