About this course

Traditional LLM frameworks forget context between conversations, limiting what AI agents can accomplish. Letta solves this with the MemGPT architecture—agents that maintain persistent memory and reason transparently about their decisions. This course introduces developers to building stateful AI agents using Letta’s Agent Development Environment. You’ll explore how Letta’s memory architecture overcomes context window limitations, configure agents with memory blocks and custom tools, and build multi-agent systems that coordinate through shared memory.

Skills you'll gain

  • Understand MemGPT architecture and memory management

  • Navigate Letta’s Agent Development Environment

  • Configure agents with memory blocks and tools

  • Build multi-agent systems with shared memory
