While useful for short, single-session interactions, this approach falls short for long-running agents that need to survive restarts, process background tasks, or maintain context across multiple user sessions. Losing an agent&rsquo;s state means losing its memory, its progress, and ultimately, its utility. Without persistence, a crash or planned shutdown erases all prior interactions, forcing the agent to start anew, which is unacceptable for production systems.</p>
