Context Window and Memory Foundations
AGAI 203 · Module 1
Understand why context management is one of the central engineering problems in agentic AI. This module explains the context window, why it is not the same as memory, and how in-context, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory support different agent behaviors.
Lessons in this module
The Context Window Problem
Learn what the context window is, why it limits agent behavior, and why simply using larger context windows does not solve memory management.
The Four Types of Agent Memory
Explore in-context, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory, and learn what each type is useful for in practical agent systems.
In-Context Memory Strategies
Learn practical strategies for managing conversation history, task summaries, tool results, and active constraints inside the model context.
