exactly!

And you can _choose_ to explore the history, which in the most common case is not even needed.

Would have to be productionized, the current repo is a PoC, but if there is enough interest we could def commit some resources to hardening this and adding things like MCP.

Super simplistic example, but say i mention my Daughter, who is 9.

Then mention she is 10,

a few years later she is 12 but now i call her by her name.

I have struggled to get any of the RAG approaches to handle this effectively. It is also 3 entries, but 2 of them are no longer useful, they are nothing but noise in the system.

ooo nice post-commit creation of the db for the "now" state and links to the files for diff/historical? best of both worlds.

Keen to do this as well! But couldn't find a good reliable eval for memory creation and retrieval, if you have one you could recommend i'd give it a go asap.
