Engram Goes GA, Free Tiers in Weaviate Cloud, and Knowledge Engineering with Dr. Bradley Allen

Hello Weaviate Community! 🤗

This week marks a major milestone for agentic AI with Engram now Generally Available in Weaviate Cloud. Engram gives AI agents persistent memory and context across sessions, enabling them to remember past interactions, adapt over time, and power more capable agentic applications in production. Best of all, Engram includes a free tier, so you can start building today.

In fact, getting started with Weaviate Cloud has never been easier, with free tiers now available in both Weaviate Database and Engram. We’ve also expanded role-based access control (RBAC) for the Cloud console, giving teams more flexibility and security as they scale.

On the Weaviate podcast, we sit down with Dr. Bradley Allen for a fascinating journey through five decades of AI history — from expert systems and knowledge graphs to neurosymbolic AI, large language models, and the future of enterprise intelligence.
