hugobowne · x · 2026-08-18
Post discusses that an agent's memory is only useful if it retrieves the right information at the right time.
- Showcases a personal agent built on Hermes using an Obsidian vault, storing knowledge (facts, meetings, docs) in Markdown for readability and versioning.
- Explains the retrieval mechanism using structured queries, indexed search, and direct grounding in source documents.
Includes a curated collection of recordings, slides, and repos for developers building agents with memory beyond the current chat.
