Meeting agent memory design: retain facts instead of patching tags
Extension-Answer4821 · reddit · 2026-09-29
A builder's writeup on designing memory for a meeting agent with Hindsight. His initial approach — continuously patching metadata and tags to organize memory — became hard to reason about as the system grew. He switched to retaining the important facts themselves and letting Hindsight handle recall later.
This paid off for meeting continuity: a first meeting establishes context, later meetings add decisions, concerns, and commitments, and future meeting prep recalls that accumulated context instead of starting from scratch. The article covers what went wrong with the tag-patching approach and lessons learned.
