Memory1 / 5 Memory is the input. What your AI keeps is a few scattered lines Launch date, payment progress, technical approach… scattered across one conversation after another. Every line is remembered. None is marked as still true. AI MEMORYScattered “Launch next Friday”“Still need payments”“Going with Option B”“Design approved”“Launch email not written yet” ? Which still count
State2 / 5 Less scattered memory. More reliable state. Important information shouldn't be scattered memory Facts, decisions, plans, progress: each has one clear current state.

State3 / 5 Current, not stale When things change, your AI should know. Say it once. The old value is marked “superseded”, and what your AI reads next is current. Old versions are never deleted; view or roll back any time. The above is the target experience, to be validated in the product.
