How to Decide What Your AI Agent Should Remember - Wojciech Pluta, Oracle

Wojciech Pluta, head of technical marketing for Oracle AI Database, argues that RAG gives agents a read path while memory gives them a write path, and that the write path is where business value lives. He explains memory promotion, a pipeline that admits, rejects, or escalates candidate memories, and demonstrates it with a mortgage agent that remembers preferences across sessions while refusing unsafe rules. The talk also covers short-term, long-term, and shared memory, why databases are a strong storage layer, and the context card that keeps prompts lean.
