Erodes trust internally (“we never learn”) and externally (“they don’t remember us”)
**Ingestion** – Capturing signals from tools and workflows
**Representation** – Turning raw data into structured, semantically rich memory
**Storage** – Persisting memory in queryable, scalable stores
**Retrieval** – Finding the right memory for the current context
Common Pitfalls
- Over-automating before understanding the process
- Ignoring the human element in AI-assisted workflows
- Expecting immediate results without iteration
- Using AI as a crutch rather than a multiplier
Metrics to Track
Time saved on routine tasks
Decision turnaround time
Error rate reduction
Output quality consistency
Stress and overwhelm levels
