The gist: Long-term agents must remember not only what is true about a user, but also how a particular agent should work with that user as their shared history evolves.

Abstract
Long-term agents must remember not only what is true about a user, but also how a particular agent should work with that user as their shared history evolves. Existing benchmarks primarily supervise user facts and preferences or experience reusable across users, leaving this relationship-specific agent memory implicit. Additionally, most prior works measure the model solely with final-answer QA over long interaction histories, making the assessment still incomplete and unreliable. To this end, we introduce DyadMem with the proposed new definition User-conditioned Relational Agent Memory (URAM). DyadMem jointly annotates user-side memory and URAM along the same multi-session trajectories, resulting in 6 memory categories. To summarize, it includes 3,065 episodes, 50,961 sessions, and 61,210 QA instances, with extensive session-level Capture and Update gold annotations, query-level Recall support, and two QA settings: Gold-Memory and Full-Pipeline. Across 16 open-weight and 4 proprietary models, Gold-Memory QA is consistently strong, yet Full-Pipeline QA drops sharply. Such a gap explicitly supports our fine-grained evaluation design. Additionally, several quantitative results further reveal low Capture recall, incomplete Recall, and unsafe-deletion issues arising from even the frontier LLMs. We further conduct a rigorous experiment to validate the effectiveness of our URAM and observe the positive effects for all 20 models. In summary, DyadMem is a dual-domain, full-pipeline memory benchmark with extensive annotation efforts for advancing the domain's development.
