[ AI ][ MEMORY ][ NOUN ]
An AI agent's memory that survives across separate sessions rather than resetting each time, letting it recall past conversations or facts the next time it's used.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"It remembered a preference I mentioned weeks ago without me bringing it up again — that's persistent memory actually working."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'persistent' from standard software/database terminology (data that survives a restart) and applies it to agent memory once agents started being expected to remember users across sessions.
