AI agents need cleaner data storage for UI and transcript separation

The author discusses a common issue in AI agent development where presentation details are mixed with core transcript data, leading to inefficient storage and UI challenges. They propose a solution by separating presentation elements like tool usage banners from the actual conversation transcript. This involves creating a structured 'turn receipt' that logs key actions such as memories retrieved or tools called, which can then be rendered cleanly by the UI. The author details the implementation process, including fixing bugs related to cached outputs and hardcoded flags, and developing a script to clean up existing data. AI

    Your message table is storing your UI, not your transcript

    <p>Every agent stack I have read persists the turn. Almost none of them draw a line between what happened and how it looked when it happened. The reply text goes in a <code>messages</code> table, and whatever the model or the orchestrator wrapped around that text goes in with it:…
