How to Add Memory to RAG Applications and AI Agents
Sometime in the last 5 months, I built a RAG application, and after building this RAG application, I realised there was a need to add memory to it before moving it to production. I went on YouTube and searched for videos, but I couldn’t find anything...

Nice explanation. I think one distinction that becomes important in real AI Agent Systems is that memory and RAG are related, but not the same thing.
RAG helps retrieve useful external knowledge.
Memory needs to preserve continuity, state, preferences, prior actions, and sometimes evidence of what actually happened.
For Production Agents, I think memory also needs governance:
Without that layer, memory can become another form of context pollution.
