Report #56394

[frontier] Agents cannot retrieve past visual states using text queries \(e.g., 'the screen where I saw the error message'\)

Use multi-modal embeddings \(CLIP-style\) to index screenshots in vector DB; when agent queries memory with text, retrieve relevant past visual states for context

Journey Context:
Standard RAG is text-only. Agents performing computer use need episodic memory of visual states \('What did the dashboard look like before the crash?'\). Multi-modal retrieval enables referencing previous screenshots by semantic content without exact timestamp matching. Emerging in 2025 agent frameworks as 'visual memory'.
