Remember Me: Context Engineering - How AI Keeps Conversations Alive
Summary : Context Engineering is the architecture that lets AI remember, personalize, and act reliably across sessions. Beyond crafting clever prompts, it assembles the right data, tools, and memory hygiene so AI systems behave like thoughtful personal assistants, and not forgetful librarians. Beyond RAG: Why Most AI Forgets the Moment You Close the Chat We’ve all had the same experience: a helpful conversation with an AI assistant, then a fresh chat that treats us like a total stranger. Every interaction feels like the first. That friction isn’t just annoying, but it also exposes a core architectural limitation of many AI systems. By default, Large Language Models (LLMs) operate as essentially stateless systems. They reason inside a temporary "context window" that vanishes when the session ends. If you want an AI that remembers, learns, and personalizes over time, you must design for state. That’s what Context Engineering does: it builds the framework that transforms...
