Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory Updates

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now allows developers to submit content directly for long-term memory extraction without persisting it as a short-term memory event. The new IngestData API accepts content, distributes it to the memory's configured long-term memory strategies, and makes the resulting memory records available through the same retrieval operations used for any other long-term memory records, all without creating a short-term event.

Until now, all content had to be stored as a short-term memory event before extraction strategies could process it into long-term memory records. IngestData removes this requirement, enabling developers to adopt long-term memory independently of short-term memory.

What to do

  • Use the new IngestData API for direct ingestion to long-term memory.
  • Verify extraction results with ListMemoryRecords or RetrieveMemoryRecords.
  • Stream real-time notifications via Kinesis.
  • Redrive failed extractions with ListMemoryExtractionJobs.
