Memory & Tool Use
How agents remember and how they reach into the world. The two skills that separate "demo" from "shipped".
5 stages~9 h
That leaves 5 stages, ~9 hours of focused work. You can clear it in any order, but the stages compound — try them top-to-bottom your first time.
- You'll pick up:
conversation buffer, persistent store, vector memory, eviction
Practice quizzesCheckpointYou can place any new fact in the right memory tier in <5 seconds.
What you'll be able to do
- Pick the right memory pattern for the task (chat / persistent / vectorised).
- Wire an agent to MCP tools without leaking secrets.
- Handle tool failures gracefully — retries, fallbacks, give-up branches.
