# Context is all you need: Introducing Redis Iris, our new agent context and memory solution

**[Redis](https://daily.dev/sources/redislabs)** · 6 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Redis is launching Redis Iris, a context and memory engine for AI agents composed of five tools: Context Retriever, Agent Memory, Redis Data Integration, LangCache, and Redis Search. Context Retriever lets developers define a semantic model for business data and auto-generates MCP tools for agents to use instead of direct database queries. Agent Memory handles short- and long-term state across sessions. The suite aims to solve the core production AI problem of fragmented, stale, or slow context by providing navigable, real-time, and compounding context in a single Redis-based runtime. Context Retriever and Agent Memory are now available in preview.
