About the Book
When we started building AI memory for the personal assistant agent, it was quite straightforward. We used knowledge graphs, and everything was heavy, and it was super easy. You could find a lot of articles on how to turn conversations into graphs. But we noticed quite quickly that after a couple of weeks of the honeymoon period, users started giving us bad feedback, and we also noticed that something wasn't working in the memory.
This non-working component was actually time awareness, because the LLM or the agent didn't know what happens when, and whether it was relevant information or not. Memory is actually quite complex and temporal, and we differentiate between past and future and what's more important.
So this book is actually about time and temporal awareness in memory—how to make the LLM and agent understand time, and how to actually make knowledge graphs temporal. Yes, exactly—knowledge graphs, because knowledge graphs actually matter and they are the core of memory. You'll also learn about events and how to build proper episodic memory, why events are important, and together with time, we'll talk about causality and why causality relations are so important for the agent primarily. So it's a book about causality and time.

Seasoned Developer's Journey from COBOL to Web 3.0, SSI, Privacy First Edge AI, and Beyond
As a seasoned developer with over 20 years of experience, I have worked with various programming languages, including some that are considered "dead," such as COBOL and Smalltalk. However, my passion for innovation and embracing cutting-edge technology has led me to focus on the emerging fields of Web 5.0, Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI),AI Agents, Knowledge Graphs, Agentiic memory systems, and the architecture of a decentralized world that empowers data democratization.
A firm believer in the potential of agent systems and the concept of a "soft" internet, I am dedicated to exploring and promoting these transformative ideas. In addition to writing, I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and insights through videoblogging. Most of my Medium posts serve as supplementary content to the videos on my YouTube channel, which you can explore here: https://www.youtube.com/c/VolodymyrPavlyshyn.
Join me on this exciting journey as we delve into the future of technology and the possibilities it holds.
