Build a memory-augmented AI agent with MongoDB at this hands-on workshop and retrieval challenge in Dublin on 8 October 2026. Hosted by the Dublin MongoDB User Group at MongoDB Limited, this practical evening explores how to stop AI agents from forgetting everything when a conversation ends. You’ll learn how short- and long-term memory help agents preserve context, retain useful information and support tasks that run over time. Build an agent that remembers The central workshop guides you through creating a memory-augmented coding agent with MongoDB. Using Jupyter Notebooks and a pre-configured development environment, you’ll work from templates and replace pseudocode with your own Python. Topics include: - Core memory types for agentic systems - Creating, reading, updating and deleting memories - Storage patterns that support reliable retrieval - Combining vector search with metadata, recency and other signals - Deciding when an agent should create, update or prune memories You’ll then move into a practical chunking, retrieval and reranking challenge. Working through a GUI, you can test different chunking strategies, retrieval methods and reranking configurations to improve search and answer quality. Submit your pipeline for a score, compare results on the leaderboard and compete for prizes while learning how small design choices affect retrieval performance. Format and who it’s for The three-hour programme combines networking, pizza and introductions with guided building, a friendly skills challenge, open discussion and further networking. Attendees can also earn a Memory for AI Applications Skill Badge to share with their network. You don’t need to be an AI or MongoDB expert, but you should feel comfortable reading and writing code. Bring a laptop, an account for the workshop environment and access via Instruqt. The AI Labs setup guide covers the available environment options, while the optional Jupyter Notebook guide can help you prepare.… Register for this event
