Permanent Memory for AI Agents — This 426-Token Prompt Changes Everything

The Problem

AI agents forget everything:

  • No memory — forget previous conversations
  • No context — can't remember past interactions
  • No learning — can't improve over time

The Solution: OptMem

I found OptMem (817 stars), a permanent memory solution for AI agents.
