Use cases
Every agent type benefits differently from persistent memory. Pick your domain.
Every support conversation starts with full context — plan, history, past issues, preferences. Users stop re-explaining. Agents start actually helping.
Issue history
Every ticket and resolution stored and retrieved in under 40ms.
Preference memory
Tone, language, and communication style remembered per user.
Seamless escalation
When a conversation goes to a human, full memory travels with it.
const memory = retaindb.user(userId);
// store incoming message
await memory.remember({
content: message,
type: "support-message",
});
// retrieve full context before reply
const ctx = await memory.getContext(query);
// context includes: history, plan,
// preferences, past issuesCoding agents that forget your tech choices are just expensive autocomplete. RetainDB gives every developer their own persistent memory layer.
Stack awareness
Libraries, versions, conventions — known from session one.
Decision tracking
Never suggests a pattern you deprecated or a library you banned.
Per-developer context
Each developer gets isolated memory. The agent knows their style.
// per-developer isolation
const memory = retaindb.user(developerId);
// store stack decisions
await memory.remember({
content: "We use React 18, Tailwind, pnpm",
type: "stack-decision",
});
// enrich code generation prompt
const ctx = await memory.getContext(
"generate a form component"
);
// ctx includes banned libs,
// conventions, past decisionsMost research agents start cold every session. With RetainDB, every run builds on the last — sources covered, conclusions drawn, dead ends flagged.
Source tracking
Never re-fetch a source already processed in a past session.
Dead-end memory
What was tried and failed is remembered. Your agent doesn't repeat mistakes.
Cross-session synthesis
Conclusions from previous sessions inform new ones automatically.
const memory = retaindb.user(researchSessionId);
// log each source processed
await memory.remember({
content: sourceUrl,
type: "source-processed",
});
// before next research step
const ctx = await memory.getContext(
"quantum computing findings"
);
// ctx: prior conclusions, dead ends,
// sources already coveredSales agents that treat every prospect like a first contact destroy deal momentum. RetainDB stores every objection, outcome, and signal — per prospect.
Deal memory
Objections, interests, and outcomes stored per prospect automatically.
Informed follow-ups
No contradictions, no re-introducing resolved objections.
Pipeline context
The agent knows where each deal stands and what to say next.
// scoped per prospect
const memory = retaindb.user(prospectId);
// after each call, store notes
await memory.remember({
content: callSummary,
type: "deal-note",
});
// before next call
const ctx = await memory.getContext(
"prep for follow-up call"
);
// ctx: objections raised, last outcome,
// deal stage, next best actionHealthcare agents that forget patient history waste clinical time and erode trust. RetainDB provides per-patient memory with the isolation and security healthcare requires.
History continuity
Symptoms, conversations, and recommendations carried across every session.
Medication awareness
Important medical context stored and retrieved accurately per patient.
Care journey tracking
Knows what was recommended, what was tried, what comes next.
// isolated per patient
const memory = retaindb.user(patientId);
// store session notes
await memory.remember({
content: sessionNotes,
type: "clinical-note",
});
// load context at consultation start
const ctx = await memory.getContext(
"current patient status"
);
// ctx: symptoms history, medications,
// prior recommendations, care planMost teams are in production in under 30 minutes.
