COVER STORY
Your AI Agents Don’t Have an Intelligence Problem. They Have a Memory Problem.
Everyone is upgrading models. Almost no one is engineering what agents remember, forget, and are allowed to know. Mario Noioso on where agentic AI is quietly failing in production, and why the fix is data engineering, not a bigger model.
BACKCHANNEL

DEV
