Assistants remember you between sessions now and can reach your calendar and your inbox, and it is still not a Jarvis. Memory goes stale silently, so an old job or an old flat gets recalled as current fact, confidently. Nothing watches your life unprompted, and anything that spends money or sends a message waits for you to approve it.

Why not yet: Persistent memory is retrieval over a pile of notes nobody prunes, so an assistant cannot tell a fact that is still true from one that quietly expired, which makes acting unsupervised unsafe.

People keep asking for this: “Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the token limit and limited memory”
