Persistent Memory AI
Architecture #08 -- Episodic + Semantic Memory
AI that remembers your preferences, history, and context across every interaction. Two memory systems work together. Episodic memory stores summarized conversation snippets. Semantic memory stores extracted entities and relationships. On each interaction, the AI retrieves relevant memories, generates a response enriched by context, and updates both memory stores.
- What it does: Maintains dual long-term memory (conversation history + extracted knowledge) that persists across sessions and informs every response
- When to use: When users interact with your AI repeatedly and context from past conversations significantly improves the quality of future responses
- Key benefit: Personalized, relationship-aware responses -- the AI builds a deepening understanding of each user over time
