Report #10552
[architecture] Agent stores raw conversational turns in long-term memory, leading to massive duplication and poor retrieval precision
Extract structured semantic triples or concise summaries from completed sessions before persisting to long-term memory. Discard conversational boilerplate and greetings.
Journey Context:
Storing raw chat logs in a vector database seems like an easy way to persist memory, but it creates severe retrieval problems. Vector search returns chunks of chit-chat or redundant steps rather than the core fact. By extracting semantic facts \(e.g., 'User prefers dark mode'\) at the time of storage, you reduce noise, save embedding costs, and ensure that retrieval yields actionable knowledge rather than historical noise.
