AI Memory & Agent Engineering — Field Notes from Maximem
Memory Is Now Table Stakes for AEO Tools. Profound's Launch Just Proved It.
Profound shipped conversation memory. Stateless AEO tools are now behind. Here is the category signal, the three layers they need, and why building in-house is the wrong bet.

File vs Vector for RAG
File-driven context management has been the rage in the last few days, especially since Claude CoWork launched. It made me curious and I tried a few things. I ran an experiment across 5 distinct domains: from Python code to scientific papers. I ingested 50,000 documents from popular datasets and fired 5,000 queries at them. The goal? To find out what all the noise about file-based search is. And if it is even real!
How Synap Works Under the Hood
We launched Maximem Synap today. Here's a peek into how it is built.
