# Use short-term memory
<a name="using-memory-short-term"></a>

In your AI agent, you write code to add events to [short-term memory](memory-types.md#short-term-memory) in an AgentCore Memory. These events are stored as short-term memory. They form the foundation for structured information extraction into long-term memory.

The following section discusses short-term memory with the AWS SDK. For examples that use the [Amazon Bedrock AgentCore samples repository](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-bedrock-agentcore-samples) and the AWS SDK, see [Scenario: A customer support AI agent using AgentCore Memory](memory-customer-scenario.md) . For other SDKs see [Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory examples](memory-examples.md).
