On the radar·Agents·since 2026 Beta

Managed agent memory

Memory stores as Unity Catalog securables, holding episodic and semantic memory for an agent.

Why it is worth watching

Agents that remember are a different product from agents that do not.

What Beta promises

Open to most customers but not for production: support runs through engineering, and the shape of it can still move. On by default on Premium, off on Enterprise.

The definitions are Databricks' own, on its release types page. The label on this page is the one the feature's documentation states, last checked on 19 Oct 2026.

Where to read more

We wrote it up: Agent memory — Long-term memory for an agent, kept in a workspace store Databricks runs on Lakebase and partitioned by actor — where the store, not the actor, is the security boundary. That page carries the Beta label while this entry does.
