Day 7-How AI Memory Actually Works Here is something that genuinely surprised me when I figured it out. AI assistants remember what you said three messages ago. They know your name. They follow the thread of a long conversation without losing track. But here’s the thing - the AI model itself has absolutely no memory. None. Zero. Every single time you send a message, the model starts completely fresh. It has no idea who you are, what you said before, or what conversation you are in the middle of. So how does it appear to remember? That question sent me down a rabbit hole.
