02 / Sessions & Context
Stateless
Keeps nothing. The model forgets everything between requests, and by default an agent forgets everything between sessions. Every appearance of memory is something a designer built.
How you’ll hear it
“Does it remember that customer from last week?”
“No. Unless we store it and give it back, it starts fresh every time.”
Avoid
Promising that “the AI will remember that”.
The longer version
The model keeps nothing between requests, and by default an agent keeps nothing between sessions either. Any sense of memory in a product is designed: something writes information down and feeds it back in later.
