Memory Architecture
NEW IN 2026 Agent memory matured from "pick a vector database" into a benchmarked production discipline in 2026, with dedicated evaluation suites (LoCoMo (Long Conversation Memory)), MemBench, MemoryAgentBench, MemoryArena) and an ecosystem spanning roughly 2...
Retrieval Architecture (Modern RAG)
Modern RAG
Traditional RAG: retrieve → answer Modern Agentic RAG: retrieve → compare sources → detect conflicts → score trust → reason over evidence → answer with citations NEW IN 2026 Agentic RAG is now commonly framed as the evolution of RAG into a "context engine": th...
Tool Layer (MCP)
Tool Layer / MCP-Compatible Ecosystem
Use standardized tool interfaces where possible. MCP is now the dominant standard for this layer, adopted beyond Anthropic by OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and thousands of teams, with roughly 97 million monthly SDK downloads and 19,000+ servers indexed ...
Agent Skills Layer
Agent Skills Layer
Agent Skills Layer NEW IN 2026 Skills are an emerging complement to MCP tools: composed, reusable capability bundles (instructions + optional scripts/resources) that an agent loads on demand, rather than a live tool connection. The MCP roadmap lists a formal...
Policy Engine Layer
Policy Layer
1. Agent Wants an Action The process begins when the AI agent determines that it needs to perform an action to complete a task. This could involve accessing data, sending a message, updating a system, triggering a workflow, or interacting with an external app...
