The agent remembers everything. You ask 50 questions. It still remembers. Then at message 101, it forgets message 1. At message 200, it can&rsquo;t recall what you discussed an hour ago.</p> <p><strong>The context window ran out.</strong></p> <p>Most systems treat this as a UI problem: &ldquo;Start a new chat!&rdquo; But for autonomous agents—ones that run for days, weeks, months—this isn&rsquo;t acceptable. They need <strong>continuity across sessions</strong>, not just within them.</p>
