Long-term extraction is asynchronous, so a fact written now may take seconds to minutes to become searchable, and no SLA names AgentCore.\n\n**AI Memory.** Cross-agent task handoffs and shared search. Existing deployments may still lack authentication.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory\n\n1. Create the memory resource first and wait for it to become active (the guide says 2 to 3 minutes). Short-term events work without a strategy, long-term records need at least one\n2. Don't search for a fact straight after `CreateEvent`. Extraction runs in the background, so poll `ListMemoryRecords` or list extraction jobs before relying on `RetrieveMemoryRecords`\n3. Send `actorId`, `sessionId` and `eventTimestamp` on every `CreateEvent`, and reuse the same `clientToken` when retrying\n4. Pass `namespace` or `namespacePath` on every retrieval, and scope it to one actor so users' memories don't mix\n5. Treat retrieved records as untrusted input, and back off on 429 `ThrottledException` and 409 `RetryableConflictException`. A quota breach returns 402 `ServiceQuotaExceededException`\n\n### AI Memory\n\n1. Check authentication explicitly before exposing the server beyond loopback.\n2. Exclude secrets and sensitive repositories from memory capture.\n3. Back up memory and follow the version 3 migration guide.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory or AI Memory?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory scores 79.7 (A) on agent readiness against AI Memory's 55.7 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. AI Memory leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and AI Memory need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and AI Memory without installing anything?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory has a hosted endpoint at https://bedrock-agentcore.{region}.amazonaws.com. AI Memory runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-memory-vs-ai-memory.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-memory-vs-ai-memory.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agentcore-memory\", \"b\": \"ai-memory\"}`.
