Great overview of always-on agents. (bookmark it) It's a new 130+ pages survey on always-on agents. Simply put it, always-on agents are systems whose future behavior depends on durable state built up across earlier interactions. It treats that state as more than memory. Task ledgers, permissions, credentials, commitments, provenance, triggers, and externally committed effects all count. The survey scores each state item on six axes, authority, scope, mutability, provenance, recoverability, and actionability, across a lifecycle that runs from write and retrieve through forget, audit, and rollback.
