Vasilije Markovic, Cognee, on Reliable AI — Interview with Alexy

Vasilije Markovic, founder of Cognee, a memory tool for AI apps and agents, on reliable AI at AI By the Bay 2025. Taking the stage across San Francisco to explain AI memory and context engineering; reliable AI as a system that merges company data and agentic data into a representation that can learn, modulate its own behavior, and stay predictable, so we know how, what, where, and why an answer came about instead of a black box; a plea to leave high-level discussion for the field; and a five-year stack of inference hosts, deterministic data systems, application-layer automation, and memory in between.
