Navigating AI Dynamics in Chatbots

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching the 117th episode of the Weaviate podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the cutting edge of AI agent development with Sarah Wooders, co-founder and CTO of Letta AI. Emerging from Berkeley's Sky Computing Lab, Sarah and her team have pioneered a revolutionary approach to stateful agents - AI systems that genuinely remember both you and themselves across extended conversations. The conversation explores how the groundbreaking MemGPT project evolved into Letta's comprehensive Agent Development Environment (ADE), which empowers developers to build truly persistent AI experiences. Sarah shares powerful insights on context management, memory prioritization, and the critical role of databases in agent architecture. Whether you're building AI systems or simply curious about where conversational AI is heading, this episode illuminates how the future of agents depends not just on their reasoning capabilities, but on their ability to maintain coherent identity and memory over time.
