Report #41448

[frontier] RAG retrieves irrelevant historical noise instead of procedural memory; agent fails to learn from past interactions

Implement Mem0 memory layer with explicit episodic \(conversational\) and semantic \(fact\) storage; replace naive RAG with context-aware memory retrieval using user\_id and agent\_id scoping

Journey Context:
Naive RAG on raw chat logs retrieves semantically similar but contextually wrong memories \(e.g., 'user complained about latency' retrieves unrelated latency tickets\). 2025 production systems adopt Mem0's dual-store: episodic memory for 'what happened in this session' and semantic for 'facts about the user'. Tradeoff: requires explicit memory management calls in agent code, adds storage layer complexity, but eliminates RAG noise. Alternative: vector-only memory lacks temporal context. Right call: use Mem0's add\(\) and search\(\) with explicit metadata filtering \(agent\_id, run\_id\) rather than global similarity search.
