Report #44194

[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves irrelevant past interactions because it relies solely on semantic similarity search on raw conversation history

Separate episodic memory \(raw interaction logs\) from semantic memory \(extracted facts and knowledge\). When the agent needs to remember how to do something, search semantic memory. When it needs to recall a specific past event, search episodic memory.

Journey Context:
A single vector store for all memory fails because the retrieval intent is ambiguous. Searching for 'how to deploy' might return a raw log of a failed deployment instead of the learned fact of the correct deployment command. Generative Agents demonstrated that reflecting on episodic memory to synthesize semantic memory \(at a lower frequency\) creates a much more reliable retrieval signal for future action.
