## Resource

Every session, your agent wakes up with amnesia — the same mistakes, the same rediscovery, the same wasted tokens. Memory is how teams solve this, but as the hosts of Agentic AI in DevOps argue, it is both a superpower and a liability. Andrey goes so far as to say that semantic memory makes an already non-deterministic LLM "even less deterministic," while Fernando warns that a poisoned memory file is trusted implicitly — just like a human trusts their own recollections. In this final episode of the foundations series, the hosts unpack the full memory lifecycle — capture, management, retrieval — and share hard-won lessons from building B.O.R.I.S, their agentic DevOps teammate where memory plays a central role.
