[frontier] Agents forgetting user preferences between sessions despite vector DB

Integrate Mem0's memory layer to capture explicit facts \(user info\) and implicit signals \(tone, recurring tasks\) with a multi-tier storage \(vector, graph, key-value\) and semantic search optimized for user-specific context.

Journey Context:
Standard RAG treats memory as a document retrieval problem, but human-like agent memory requires distinguishing between declarative facts \(user works at Acme\) and procedural habits \(user prefers concise answers\). Mem0 \(2024-2025\) introduces an 'episodic memory' architecture specifically for AI agents: it extracts facts from conversations, deduplicates them against existing memory, and retrieves using a combination of semantic similarity and recency. Unlike simple vector stores, it handles updates \(user changed jobs\) and forgetting \(deprecating old facts\). Alternatives: manual prompt engineering \(doesn't scale\) or standard RAG \(no temporal awareness\). Mem0 adds latency but provides the continuity users expect from persistent agents.
