- Book 3 of 5: The AI-Native Series
Your AI assistant forgets everything. Every conversation, every preference, every decision — gone the instant the call ends.
Large language models are stateless by design. Everything an AI system appears to "remember" — the case discussed last week, the user's preferences, the plan agreed an hour ago — is engineered, deliberately, outside the model. That engineering layer decides what enters the context window on every single turn, and it is where AI systems quietly succeed or silently fail.
This book teaches you to build that layer properly.
While most teams throw bigger models and bigger windows at the problem, quality keeps degrading: context rot, lost-in-the-middle, cross-user memory leaks, agents that drift off course after twenty steps. The root cause is almost never the model. It is an unmanaged context and memory layer — and this book gives you the complete discipline to fix it.
Inside, a full engineering system:
- The Five Pillars — Direction & Token Budget, Memory Tiering, Selection & Assembly, Writing & Consolidation, and Forgetting, Freshness & Safety — expanded into eighteen working principles
- Fifteen practical strategies, from sliding windows and compaction to agentic memory and hybrid tiered architectures, with a decision tree for choosing among them
- A seven-step design process that takes you from problem statement to a running, measurable system
- Five hands-on design guides: window assembly, memory store design, compaction & summarization, retrieval-for-memory, and lifecycle & governance
- Two complete end-to-end projects at opposite poles: an enterprise multi-tenant agent copilot, and a personalized tutor that remembers one learner across weeks
- Fourteen anti-patterns mapped to the pillars they violate — a diagnostic chart for when your system "answers poorly for no clear reason"
- A measurement framework: ten quality criteria, concrete metrics, golden task sets, and a directed improvement loop
Every chapter ends with a self-check quiz. The appendices pack a glossary, cheat-sheet, a 100+ item design checklist, a 100+ entry pattern library, and starter templates for developers, business analysts and AI engineers.
Book 3 of the AI-Native Architecture series. Book 1 covered RAG — exploiting knowledge. Book 2 covered Knowledge Graphs — constructing knowledge. This volume operates the layer where both converge: seen from here, RAG is long-term semantic memory, the knowledge graph is structured memory, and the quality of any agent is upper-bounded by the context and memory layer it stands on.
If you build AI systems that must remember what matters — this is the missing manual.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
