[Ian Smith @SkyCapture]

still in my first month at @zep_ai and it's been fascinating seeing how enterprises are using it to solve agentic memory and context at scale. great writeup @akshay_pachaar !

@copilotmoney Good timing

Fuck it, $RVI

Much shade at the IPO, similar to USVC. Prefer this route.

[Zep AI @zep_ai]

Agents need more than one kind of context to actually help users.

Zep produces 5 distinct types in every Context Block: facts, entities, episodes, thread summaries, and the user summary. Each captures something the others can't.

Here's what each is for 🧵

[Zep AI @zep_ai]

When your agent acts on bad context, the first question is: where did that come from?

Most context systems don't track this. Zep does, enabling:
→ Audit trails from response to source
→ Inspectable debugging paths
→ Agents scoping their own context by source

Here's how 🧵

@ankurnagpal @naval didn't xai already get acquired by spacex? it shows "acquisition pending" on your website. were the xai shares converted to spacex shares and the "acquisition" refers to the spacex ipo...?

[Ian Smith @SkyCapture]

@wadefoster Do you use a graph for memory/context?

[Ian Smith @SkyCapture]

@levie Agents need better memory for them to be useful long term

[Ian Smith @SkyCapture]

@gregisenberg And the smart ones will be using @zep_ai to ensure their agents actually have memory and context that doesn’t suck

[banteg @banteg]

anthropic running the exact same marketing playbook with every release. “our model is so capable and dangerous, ahh we are afraid to release it”. just put the model in the bag lil bro.
