Insights on AI agent memory, programmable retrieval, and building Liath.
Why Agents Need Programmable Memory
Fixed vector-database APIs give agents one retrieval strategy. Programmable memory lets an agent write the retrieval logic itself — safely — and that changes what agents can remember.

Liath vs Vector Databases
Vector databases store and search embeddings behind a fixed API. Liath is embedded, programmable memory: agents query vectors, key-value data, and embeddings together with sandboxed Lua.
