Google Unveils “Memory Bank” for Personalized AI Agent Interactions
Google has officially launched the public preview of its new tool called “Memory Bank,” a feature within its Vertex AI Agent Engine.
This powerful update helps AI agents remember what users say across conversations, solving a big problem in today’s chatbots: they forget everything once a session ends.
What Does Memory Bank Do?
With Memory Bank, AI agents no longer start every chat from scratch. Instead, they remember user preferences, past conversations, and important details—even if those interactions happened days or weeks ago.
This creates more personalized, natural, and efficient experiences for users.
How it works
Memory Bank uses Google’s Gemini AI models to extract, store, and retrieve information from conversations. Here’s how it works:
Extraction: It reads previous chats and automatically pulls out key facts (like your preferred drink or travel seat) without developers needing extra tools.
Storage & Updates: It saves this information under your user ID. If new or conflicting info comes up later, it updates and cleans the memory so it stays accurate.
Retrieval: When you start a new chat, the agent remembers what matters, using a smart search to find relevant facts to make the conversation smoother.
Why It’s Useful
For Developers: Memory Bank makes it easier for developers to build smarter AI agents by offering built-in memory capabilities.
It seamlessly integrates with Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) and supports popular frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI, enabling flexible and efficient development across various platforms.
For Users: Memory Bank enhances the user experience by enabling personalized responses based on past interactions, such as remembering product preferences or health details.
It ensures smooth, continuous conversations—even after breaks—reducing repetition and delivering more context-aware, relevant answers.
Backed by Research
Google says this technology is based on new research accepted at ACL 2025, using a smart, topic-based memory system that sets a new standard for how AI can handle long-term memory.
