We propose AdaMemPIP, an adaptive memory orchestration framework for LLM agents. AdaMemPIP uses an LLM to route both memory storage and memory usage. For storage, it selects extractors for each new batch of dialogue records and writes the extracted items to matched memory libraries. For usage, it selects retrieval methods, target libraries, and organization strategies for each query, then executes the resulting pipeline. The framework is also extensible: new extractors, retrievers, stores, and organizers can be added without changing the overall control logic. This makes AdaMemPIP a flexible framework to long-term agent memory."
