Building AI Memory: From a Local Robot to a 1,000-Fly Hive Mind

ODSC AI San Francisco ​Pre-Registration is REQUIRED. Joining link - https://streamyard.com/watch/d5uJc3J3eSbe (https://streamyard.com/watch/d5uJc3J3eSbe?utm_source=luma) How do you give a fully local robot the ability to remember what it sees? How do you let 1,000 flies share what they learn? ​Join Dylan Couzon from Qdrant for a free, live webinar hosted by ODSC AI, supported by Qdrant. ​WHEN ​Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT Online · Free with registration ​ABOUT THE SESSION ​We walk through building both memory systems, from storing the first observation to retrieving useful experiences and sharing them across agents. Along the way, we tackle the decisions that make memory useful: what to keep, when to retrieve it, what to share, and when to forget. ​See the systems run live, inspect the code behind them, and learn patterns you can apply to your own AI agents. ​WHAT YOU’LL LEARN • ​Why more memory can make agents worse • ​How to design what gets written, retrieved, and shared • ​How to scope shared memory across many agents • ​What changes when memory runs fully on-device ​WHO SHOULD JOIN? • ​AI engineers, software developers, and data scientists • ​People building or experimenting with AI agents, retrieval systems, or robotics • ​Product managers and technical leaders exploring how agent memory works ​MEET THE SPEAKER ​Dylan Couzon - Lead Developer Relations, Qdrant ​Dylan leads Developer Relations at Qdrant. He learned to code 18 years ago to work on video game emulators and has been taking side projects too far ever since. He has spent his career building developer tools and contributing to open source. These days, he builds retrieval systems, trains models, and experiments with physical AI and robotics. ​Useful Links • ​*\odsc.ai (https://odsc.ai/?utm_source=luma)\* • ​Free access to more talks/trainings: Ai+ Training platform (https://aiplus.training/?utm_source=luma) • ​ODSC Blog: opendatascience.com (https://opendatascience.com/?utm_source=luma) • ​Slack Channel: Join the Community (https://odsc.ai/slack?utm_source=luma) !User Uploaded Image (https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=108.843537414966/uploads/sw/a23d89ac-0849-4a14-b6d3-a8991bb6f6f8.png) !User Uploaded Image (https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=256/uploads/hg/262d9b89-4e06-4574-80a2-800a149a810e.png) ​We're the ultimate builder-first community for data scientists, AI/data engineers, and developers. We’re moving past the pitch decks to bring the real meetup vibes back. This is all about raw live demos, discovering new tools, hacking with AI agents, and getting the inside scoop from the people who actually ship AI. Whether you’re here to watch an agentic workflow layout live, crack open some fresh open-source frameworks, or just here for the pizza, cold beers, and a genuinely good time with real humans, we’ve got your seat saved.
