LLMs lack persistent memory across sessions

🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 3/5

The developer reports that current LLM systems are stateless, meaning they reset and forget all previous interactions once a chat session ends, which prevents the development of a continuous cognitive thread.

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A middleware runtime that maintains a persistent memory graph between user sessions.
  2. An automated reflection service that summarizes and updates world state after each interaction.
  3. A standardized API for LLM agents to store and retrieve long-term episodic memory.

“Everything resets. You ask something, the system answers, the chat ends, and the whole thing forgets everything that happened.”
