Giving your AI agent a “scratchpad” memory

(AI , memory, part 2/5)

Did you know that an AI agent can take notes during your conversation? That’s the power of short-term, session-based memory. In this video, we dive into the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to explore how Session and State work. Think of it as a dynamic scratchpad that the agent uses to track things in real-time, like your quiz score or current question.

We’ll show you how the model and tools can read and write to this state, but also why this "scratchpad" gets wiped clean when the conversation ends.
