Report #61558

[architecture] Remembering exact conversational phrasing instead of extracted facts

Process episodic memory \(raw interactions\) into semantic memory \(extracted facts and preferences\) using an LLM extraction step, then discard or summarize the raw episodic memory.

Journey Context:
Storing raw chat logs as chunks in a vector DB is cheap but noisy. When the agent retrieves 'I like pizza' from 50 different interactions, it wastes context tokens and increases the chance of contradiction. Extracting 'User prefers pizza' into a semantic knowledge base saves tokens and increases reliability. The tradeoff is the latency and cost of the extraction LLM call versus the cost of retrieval noise and context window bloat.
