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

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