# Pro-Memory

Most memory systems for large language model agents only store and retrieve past information, while proactive agents also need to hold future intentions and realize them when the right moment arrives. Pro-Memory separates keeping a future intention from deciding when and how to realize it: pending objectives stay linked to their supporting evidence, new observations are checked against the original goal and activation conditions, and contributions are coordinated with the agent's ongoing actions. On two benchmarks covering delayed-intention tasks and open-ended proactive assistance, proactive task performance improves consistently over representative memory approaches across multiple LLM backbones while unnecessary interventions are limited.
