Memory
Memory is how Hyponema makes repeat conversations continuous without asking the user to restate everything.
Hyponema memory is designed for long-running relationships. It stores durable observations, retrieves relevant context, tracks unresolved threads, and handles corrected facts explicitly.
What memory does
Section titled “What memory does”- Retrieves relevant past context before a turn.
- Keeps important old memories in the candidate pool.
- Tracks open follow-ups, promises, and unresolved topics.
- Creates session-resume snapshots for “where did we leave off?”
- Supersedes contradicted facts instead of silently overwriting them.
- Suppresses sensitive topics for a cooling-off period after negative or concerned episodes unless the user brings the topic up.
Memory versus transcript
Section titled “Memory versus transcript”The transcript is the record of what happened. Memory is the distilled context that should influence future conversations.
Use transcripts for audit and debugging. Use memory when an agent needs to remember preferences, commitments, relationships, health or support context, and corrected facts.
Operator review
Section titled “Operator review”Operators should inspect memory when testing a new persona or workflow. Look for whether the agent is carrying forward the right facts, ignoring stale context, and handling sensitive topics with appropriate restraint.
