Built a customer-support AI agent that actually remembers customers

One problem I noticed with AI support agents is that they often make customers repeat the same information in every new conversation.

So I built SupportMemory using Hindsight persistent memory.

The idea is simple:

Without memory:
Customer → AI → Response

With memory:
Customer → Recall previous context → AI → Response → Retain new information

For the demo, I used three customers: Ananya, Steven, and Max.

For example, instead of asking Ananya for her order number again, the agent can recall her previous interaction and continue from there.

The main things I explored were:

The biggest takeaway for me: AI agents don't just need to generate good responses — they also need to remember the right context.

Would love to hear how others are approaching memory in AI agents.
