At a glance Today’s AI agents store long interaction histories but struggle to reuse them effectively. Raw memory retrieval can overwhelm agents with lengthy, low-value context. PlugMem transforms interaction history into structured, reusable knowledge. A single, general-purpose memory module improves performance across diverse agent benchmarks while using fewer memory tokens. It seems counterintuitive: giving AI
