Oracle Developers

Someone asked me what the best moment of @Oracle AI World was. It wasn’t the announcements, the puppies or the Cybertruck. It was six words from a customer after my workshop. “You’ve just changed everything for me.” They had just sat through my session on agent memory in enterprise workloads, and that was their reaction. By far the best moment of the week for me. And the week had plenty of contenders: loads of announcements loads of puppies a Cybertruck a Tractor Anyone who has built a workshop, or any teaching material, knows what the ideal outcome is. The people in the room understand the content and it lands. When that happens, the hours spent building slides, checking the transitions are smooth, and working out how much detail to pack in all feel worth it. Agent memory is one of the topics worth understanding properly right now. Personal AI assistants are arriving fast (Muse, Grok Bot, Dots), and every one of them depends on how it remembers you: what it stores, what it retrieves, what it forgets, and how it does all of that without burning through tokens. I teach this in my Maven class: Introduction to AI Agent Memory. The moment where something clicks and changes how you think about agents isn’t reserved for a conference workshop. You can have it from your desk. The course is rated 5⭐️, and here is what the first cohort said: 1️⃣ “Richmond breaks down the different types of memory, how agents can share context, and when to use a file system or a database. He also shows how vector search, RAG and reranking come together in a real memory pipeline.” (Mark, developer) 2️⃣ “Loved his deep dive and breakdown of the modes of conversational agents: Assistant, Workflow and Deep Research, and how agent memory plays a role in each.” (Sai, Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft) Next cohort is Thursday 5 November.
