I stopped trying to make my AI remember everything. That's when it got good.

My grandmother has trouble remembering what she ate for breakfast. But she remembers my birthday. She remembers every grandchild's name. She remembers stories from forty years ago like they happened yesterday.

Her brain figured out what matters.

I used to think AI memory should be a perfect recording. Every conversation saved. Every detail searchable. Total recall.

I was building it wrong.

I've been working on Lorekeeper — an open-source memory system for AI agents. It started as a storage problem. How do I keep everything?
