Memory versus context
A user may have years of stored history, but a single request may require only a few preferences, facts, and recent decisions. Context assembly bridges that gap.Memory
Information retained for potential future use. Can span years of user history across all sessions.
Context
The subset of information selected for the current operation. Task-specific, token-bounded, and ephemeral.
How context assembly works
Token-aware context
- Relevance to the current task.
- Source reliability and freshness.
- Token limits and reserved response capacity.
- Information priority and required instructions.
- Duplicates and conflicting facts.
- Privacy and authorization constraints.
