arXiv:2605.13438v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing agent memory remains predominantly reactive and retrieval-based, lacking the capacity to autonomously organize experience into persistent cognitive structure. Toward genuinely autonomous agents, we introduce CogniFold, a brain-inspired "always-on" agent memory designed for the next generation of proactive assistants. CogniFold continuously folds fragmented event streams into self-emerging cognitive structures, bootstrapping progressively higher-level cognition from incoming events and accumulated knowledge. We ground this by ex
The continuous drive towards truly autonomous and proactive AI agents necessitates development beyond reactive, retrieval-based memory systems, aligning with current research frontiers.
This development addresses a fundamental limitation in current AI, paving the way for agents with more sophisticated cognitive functions, essential for complex real-world applications.
AI memory systems are evolving from purely reactive to proactively organizing experience, enabling higher-level cognition and more autonomous agent behavior.

AI agents become significantly more capable of independent reasoning and long-term planning.
This improved autonomy leads to widespread deployment of AI agents in complex decision-making and operational roles, displacing existing white-collar workflows.
The enhanced cognitive capabilities of AI agents begin to fundamentally alter the nature of human-computer interaction and the structure of many industries.
