arXiv:2607. 12385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A significant challenge in agentic AI is prospective memory: the ability to execute an intention at a specific future cue or state while other activities are ongoing.
ProMemAgent is a proactive agent that uses prospective memory to handle delayed user intentions over long horizons. It organizes past sensory perceptions into context-aware memory, generates prospective cues, and links earlier events to future developments for retrieval. The authors also introduce CPMBench, a benchmark of 1,000 instances across eight everyday categories, and show that ProMemAgent outperforms baselines in memory retrieval and proactive assistance tasks.

Proactive Memory for Event-Driven LLM Agents introduces ProactMem, a system that organizes an agent’s history into recent events, temporal trajectories, and behavioral regularities. It validates trajectory facts against source events and assesses regularities through historical replay before matching them to current conditions. The authors also present ProactiveStream, a longitudinal benchmark with three application scopes, and report that ProactMem achieves an overall F1 of 52.6%, a 21.4% relative improvement over the strongest of five external baselines.
In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment facts, prior attempts, diagnoses, and open subgoals can be buried in the context window or pushed beyond it, failing to influence decisions when needed.

The paper investigates how large language model (LLM) agents can improve performance by storing and reusing experience in external memory. It identifies a problem called error reproduction, where mistakes in stored abstractions propagate through cycles of abstraction, execution, and re-abstraction, leading to persistent errors. To mitigate this, the authors propose Anti-Persistence, a memory design that retains raw trajectories and outcomes but reconstructs task-specific guidance on demand, discarding it after use. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show that Anti-Persistence yields higher held‑out success rates and lower LLM‑call costs compared to other memory designs, supporting the idea of separating experience accumulation from abstraction persistence.
As assistants move from reactive answering toward proactive intervention, memory changes role: it no longer only supplies the answer to a query, it determines whether and when to speak at all. Prior w...
arXiv:2606. 16285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon agents rely on memory mechanisms to compress interaction history, but optimizing memory writing faces a distinct credit assignment challenge: a memory update may be rewarded or penalized due to downstream tool failures, noisy observations, or reasoning errors rather than its own contribution.
The paper introduces ProPerMem, a benchmark for memory-driven proactive assistance that pairs egocentric video with long, distractor-rich personal memories and human-verified trigger windows. Baseline models perform poorly, achieving at most 15% accuracy, while an oracle-driven GPT-5.3-Chat model reaches 96% when given evidence inside the trigger window. Building on these insights, the authors develop ProPerAgent, a plug‑and‑play system that retrieves relevant memory from a graph store and uses lightweight reinforcement learning to improve proactive intervention accuracy to 42.4% without training.
arXiv:2606. 06787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise as tool-using agents but remain limited in long-horizon tasks that require remembering, organizing, and reusing knowledge.
arXiv:2607. 14252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon robot planning requires more than predicting what actions will do next; it also requires memory of the embodied experience that makes future goals interpretable.
