Why
A memory system that just stores and retrieves is a database. One that understands who you are from what you've stored — your recurring goals, how you make decisions, what you care about — is something more useful. This item is about building that inference layer on top of the raw memory store.
What
- Goal inference: from stored memories, identify recurring themes that represent ongoing goals
- Preference detection: extract stated and implied preferences ("I don't want X", "I prefer Y")
- Decision pattern recognition: identify how decisions tend to get made (fast vs deliberate, solo vs collaborative)
- Communication style: infer preferred level of detail, tone, and format from stored content
Implementation notes
- Runs as a periodic background job, not at capture time
- Output stored as a special
identity tag entries — not mixed into regular recall unless explicitly requested
- Needs careful UX: surface inferences as "here's what I think I know about you" with easy correction
- Do this last — it's high risk of feeling invasive if the rest of the system isn't solid first
