Answer

LangChain's memory is implicit — ConversationBufferMemory automatically appends everything.

Explanation

LangChain's memory is implicit — ConversationBufferMemory automatically appends everything. an agent platform makes memory explicit: you define what gets stored (agent_result.memory_write), what gets retrieved (memory.fetch(query)), and when memory is cleared. Memory is typed (episodic vs semantic), stored in a pluggable backend (in-memory for tests, DynamoDB for production), and retrieved via semantic search.
