AI Memory Is Broken And How I Fixed It

Every AI app claims it can “remember” you. However, most of them don’t. When I built my voice AI agent, I watched it forget my salary, hallucinate my daughter’s name, and confidently describe a restaurant I never visited. So I started working on a fix. In this talk, I go over the three-layer memory architecture I built from scratch after the tools I trusted failed me. You’ll see real failures, real fixes, and why your vector database choice matters more than you think.
