Report #5323
[architecture] Agent fails to extract and store memories because the predefined schema is too rigid for unstructured conversational data
Use an LLM to extract memories as open-domain triples \(subject, predicate, object\) or free-text episodic chunks with metadata, rather than forcing data into strict, predefined relational tables.
Journey Context:
Developers often try to force LLM outputs into strict SQL schemas or Pydantic models for memory. This fails because human conversation is messy and unpredictable; rigid schemas cause extraction failures or data loss. Open-domain triples or metadata-tagged chunks allow flexible, schema-less storage while maintaining enough structure for reliable querying.
