What this post added

This post is an FAQ that elaborates on the practical application of Redis Iris for AI agents. It details strategies for managing context through chunk-based RAG, agentic RAG, and MCP-style tools. It emphasizes the importance of real-time context engines for providing fresh, relevant data to agents, addressing limitations of basic RAG, and the role of agent memory and semantic caching in improving personalization, speed, and cost-efficiency. Redis Iris is positioned as a solution to wire these components together, offering Context Retriever for business data, Redis Search for multi-modal retrieval, and Agent Memory/LangCache for persistent and cost-effective context.
