Don’t forget what I told you yesterday – AI memory and the mind palace – Tanzu Catsup
If you’ve spent any real time with Claude Code or Cursor, you know the feeling. The thing you told the agent five minutes ago is now optional as far as it’s concerned. The fix isn’t a smarter model. It’s architecture. This week David Zendzian and I dig into memory for AI agents – what it…
