02 / Sessions & Context
Stateful
Carries things forward. A session remembers within itself. Making an agent remember across sessions is deliberate work, not a setting you switch on.
How you’ll hear it
“So how does it remember preferences?”
“We save them and load them at the start of each session. That is our design, not the model’s.”
Avoid
Assuming memory comes built in.
The longer version
A stateful system carries information forward. Within a session that happens automatically. Across sessions it has to be built, and every choice about what to keep raises questions of accuracy, privacy and consent.
