arXiv:2606.29823v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The database community has repeatedly advanced the state of the art by recognizing that new workloads demand new system architectures. We argue that long-horizon agentic tasks -- code generation, scientific discovery, hardware design -- are such a workload. These agents explore: they generate artifacts, execute tools, observe failures, branch, and repair over hundreds of steps. This search produces a structured object we call an experience graph: executable artifacts, tool outputs, rewards, sibling comparisons, and causal lineage. Yet existing
The proliferation of advanced AI models has pushed the boundaries of what agents can achieve, making the limitations of current data infrastructure for long-horizon tasks apparent.
This concept introduces a specialized data infrastructure designed to support the complex, iterative, and exploratory nature of future AI agents, which is critical for scaling their capabilities.
The proposed 'experience graph' moves beyond traditional databases to capture the full causal lineage and multifaceted outputs of agentic exploration, fundamentally altering data management for advanced AI.

Specialized databases optimized for 'experience graphs' will emerge as a new category within data infrastructure.
The development of more resilient and capable AI agents will accelerate, leading to novel applications in complex domains like scientific discovery and engineering.
The ability to audit, debug, and improve autonomous agent behavior will be significantly enhanced, potentially accelerating regulatory frameworks and trust in AI systems.
