# From Stateless to Self-Improving: Building Agent Workflows That Get Better Every Session


- **Date:** Thursday, Sep 24, 2026
- **Time:** 16:10–16:40 (30 min)
- **Room:** Stage 5
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Most AI coding session starts from zero. You explain your project structure, your preferences, your patterns. The agent does great work, you close the session, and tomorrow it's a stranger again. I got tired of re-teaching the same lessons every time I opened my projects.

Kiro Crew is an open-source workspace where agents carry memory, lessons, and skills across sessions. When you correct something, it becomes a durable lesson the agent won't repeat, and repeated workflows become named skills.

In this talk I'll show how persistent agent memory works and we'll walk through a demo workflow that visibly improves across sessions. You'll leave knowing how to set up a self-improving agent workflow and when to trust (or override) what it remembers.
