AI tech talk series: Agent context layer

97% of enterprise leaders say context is critical to their AI strategy, but only 4% have built for it (Redis, State of context engineering 2026), and that gap is where most agent projects stall. The model works; it's the layer underneath, memory that resets, retrieval that slows at scale, stale state, and a climbing LLM bill, that doesn't.

This five-part series builds a context-aware app on Redis Iris in 15-minute sessions, adding memory, data integration, retrieval, and caching step by step. By the end, you'll have a working app and a practical understanding of how the context layer runs in production.

Session highlights:

  • Session 1
    Retrieval at scale

    Build the base app for the series and get fast, sub-millisecond hybrid retrieval (vector plus filters) working with Redis Search, even as your data grows.

  • Session 2
    Compounding memory

    Add Agent Memory so context carries across turns, sessions, and restarts, without depending on the context window to hold everything.

  • Session 3
    Context retrieving at scale

    Add the Context Retriever so the agent can navigate multiple database tables in a single turn using one predefined schema, replacing a tool zoo.

  • Session 4
    Semantic caching: Making cost part of the architecture

    Add Redis semantic caching to serve repeat and near-duplicate queries from cache instead of the model, the same approach that cut Mangoes.ai's LLM spend by 70%.

    Oct. 7 @ 14:00 PM BST | 9:00 AM EST
    Learn more
  • Session 5
    Your context aware apps

    Wrap up with real use cases, like support agents that need memory and fresh order data, and fraud checks that need answers before a transaction clears.
