AI agents are transforming how we build software. Unlike traditional chatbots that just answer questions, agents can reason about what tools they need, decide when to use them, chain multiple actions together, and remember what happened earlier in a conversation.

A chatbot with no memory isn't a conversation — it's a series of isolated queries. Every message starts from scratch. The user has to re-explain who they are, what they're working on, and what was just said. It's exhausting, and it signals that the AI isn't really listening.
