This stateless default means each interaction starts from scratch, requiring the full conversation history to be resent, which can lead to token limits being exceeded and older messages being truncated. Implementing a memory layer that extracts, stores, and recalls key information can significantly improve chatbot performance by providing relevant context in a fraction of the space, leading to a more knowledgeable and consistent user experience.
