Agentbase uses a two-tier persistence model that separates conversational state from computational environments for optimal performance and cost efficiency.
Two-Tier Persistence Model
1. Chat & Message History
Automatic & Free: Message history persists by default at no cost.- Zero cost for storage
- Automatic for all conversations
- Use session IDs to maintain context
2. Computer Environment
On-Demand Creation: Computers are created when agents need them for code execution, file operations, or web browsing.- Auto-pause after 5 minutes of inactivity
- Files and installations remain
- Use same session ID to reuse environment
