Agents don't need memory, they need documentation

The article discusses the idea that agents, a type of artificial intelligence, can be designed to not require memory, similar to humans who can learn and recall information without relying on memory. This concept is explored through the lens of a conversation between a human and an agent, where the agent is able to recall and discuss information without retaining it in its own memory. The author suggests that agents can be designed to use external documentation, such as databases and APIs, to access and retrieve information, rather than storing it internally. This approach could potentially reduce the need for large amounts of memory in agents and make them more efficient and scalable. The article also touches on the idea that humans also use external documentation, such as books and the internet, to access information, and that agents can be designed to work in a similar way.
