Developer details challenges building agent memory audit tool

The author details challenges encountered while building an audit tool using Hindsight, an open-source agent memory system. A primary issue was the language model inventing past investment details when its memory was empty, which was addressed by programmatically overwriting fabricated history with a "None found" status. Another problem involved distinguishing between evaluated pitches and actual investments, requiring explicit labeling within the memory records to prevent misinterpretation. Finally, the system initially returned an overwhelming number of results due to overlapping facts from the stored records, necessitating a cleaning step to deduplicate, truncate, and limit the output to fit within the model's context window.

    I Stopped My Hindsight-Backed Agent From Inventing My Past

    <p>When you ask a language model for "similar past investments" and it will give you some. Names, years, write-off amounts. It does not matter that you have never made an investment. The model is trying to be helpful, and a blank where your history should be looks like a gap to f…
