About this episode

Ryan discusses LinkedIn's cognitive memory agent with Praveen Bodigutla, focusing on its four-layer memory system for personalized hiring assistance.

Ryan is joined by Praveen Bodigutla, Principal AI Researcher at LinkedIn, to chat about the four-layer memory system his team built to give LinkedIn's hiring assistant a persistent, personalized state. Praveen explains why his team moved off GraphRAG in favor of a tree-structured memory for faster incremental updates and how they balance retrieval freshness, latency budgets, and access control at LinkedIn's scale.
