Report #1625
[architecture] Storing raw conversation logs as long-term memory causing lossy retrieval
Asynchronously extract semantic facts \(triples\) from episodic memory and store them in a structured or graph store. Query the semantic store for facts, and the episodic store only for conversational tone or exact history.
Journey Context:
Embedding raw chat logs is cheap but lossy. When an agent needs a specific fact \(e.g., 'user's deployment region'\), searching raw logs might return a chunk discussing regions without explicitly stating the preference. Extracting structured facts into a knowledge graph or relational table yields deterministic, high-signal retrieval for factual queries, while keeping the raw logs for contextual/summarization needs. The tradeoff is added latency and complexity for the extraction pipeline.
