Memory consolidation
Memory consolidation, in AI agents, is the background process that turns raw conversation logs into compact long-term memories by extracting facts, merging duplicates, and summarizing, borrowing the idea from how human memory stabilizes.
Memory consolidation sits in the Retrieval & memory part of the Agentik {OS} glossary, which defines the words used to build and run AI agent systems.
