Memory

Sketch: a car with its trunk open; a saved note goes in and is handed to the engine, which starts blank, for the next trip.

Memory is notes an AI app saves and shows the model later, because models don't remember past chats on their own.

Think of it like this: Memory is the trunk: notes the car carries from trip to trip. The harness takes out what’s useful and holds it up to the windshield.
