<aside> 🧠 Reminisc 2024

A memory architecture inspired by OpenAI’s work. This enables LLMs to remember key details shared by users, leading to more helpful and engaging conversations.

It manages user interactions to keep conversations relevant, automatically generates new memories based on user input, classifies which interactions should be stored in memory, and maintains recent history for continuity.
