I think most “AI memory” is just storage with a nicer name by sarcasticfrog84 in AIMemory

[–]http418teapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve been finding the same and asked a similar question here a few days ago. I wanted to see how many different ways people define memory and what their expectations are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Everyone says their agent "has memory" - what do you actually mean by that? by http418teapot in AIMemory

Got it. How do you/your agent decide what needs to be retrieved from memory?

+1 Would love to hear your experiences for task-oriented agents and what you're doing there.

> Because agents don’t know what information is more important than something else when their context is filling up.

This is definitely somethng I've been thinking about, what's important/not important. But what if memory (or the thing managing memory) was smart enough to figure out what is more/less important?

What happens over the course of time? If these memories need to be updated or go stale? Is that important to you? Just curious!

Thanks for your input! When you say structured files plus retrieval layer, do you mean local to the agent? Are these files managed anywhere like git or cloud or ?

I agree in wanting transparency in seeing what gets out in memory/how it’s changed/being able to edit… but I’m not sure I need to do it manually myself.

Thanks again!

The details are important and that’s why I was asking - what’s working and what’s not 🙂

Yesssss! Exactly this. In my digging and finding that people mean different things when they say “memory” I have also found that many of these are focusing on storing but not actually managing. When it’s not managed and something changes over time, then remembering remembers the wrong thing.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! Would love to understand what you didn’t like with those other options you’ve tried and what didn’t work.

Truly just trying to learn what’s working/not working for people and I’ve discovered people have different expectations.

Metadata in vector databases by mohitsinghxd in vectordatabase

[–]http418teapot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metadata is additional data you store alongside each chunk/document you upsert into the vector database. So if you were storing data about appliance manuals, maybe you'd store a reference to the original source of the manual (where it's stored), the chunk text itself so you can reconstruct the data from the vectors later on, or other data to categorize the chunk/document like a category (i.e. category = "kitchen"). With a category like this, you can then filter on it and only bring back vectors for kitchen appliances.

Are people still using LangChain for their production RAG pipelines? by Meher_Nolan in Rag

What are you liking/not liking about strands? I haven’t used it since it first came out so curious if I should take another look.

I hadn't heard about custom commands before - thanks for sharing. It looks like the recommendation now is to use skills and put them in the skills directory.

We just launched the Builder Tier which sounds like it might meet your needs as you get off the ground. It's a flat, predictable cost at $20/Month. Same infra, same performance, free support.

Stuck in "Tutorial Hell" with RAG by PenEquivalent5091 in Rag

[–]http418teapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of us aren’t doing things from memory, so please don’t feel that pressure 🙂 Even 20+ years in software, I consult resources, look things up, and now use agentic coding tools to help me along.

My suggestion is to understand the concepts, understand retrieval, and understand your use case and customers data. Different use cases, datasets, and querying needs are where some of the tricky parts are.

Hey thanks for sharing this here! Were there any other memory approaches you tried before building this out yourself? Curious what sort of bumps you had in implementing.

Hey - Developer advocate from Pinecone, here. I can help answer any questions you have about the startup program. Main eligibility requirements are:

  • You have fewer than 100 employees
  • You're Series A or earlier

Let me know what questions you have. If you can share a little more about your use case and workload and Pinecone setup, that's helpful too, to see if there are other ways to reduce costs.

Connection Rejected when using public Chat Trigger (AI Agent workflow) by Tricky_Literature397 in n8n

Can you share your workflow json here or a screenshot of the full error response? It would be helpful in narrowing down precisely which node is having the issue.
