Product Memory
Product Memory is the semantic abstraction layer that sits between PLM systems and AI agents, capturing not just product data but the reasoning, context, and assumptions behind every decision — enabling AI agents to reason about products with full historical awareness.
Why it matters
When engineers retire, their reasoning goes with them unless it has been made durable. Product memory externalizes expert knowledge into a queryable, machine-readable form that AI agents can use for contextual reasoning.
