The surprising choice is whether you want an agent that remembers everything, or one that can show why it remembers this. Hister’s project description says it indexes selected web pages and local files, with search through web and terminal interfaces, and can run on infrastructure you control. That makes a useful test possible: ask, “Which document supports that sentence?” If the answer points to the file, good. If it produces a fog bank of confidence, the agent is performing memory, not intelligence. My blind spot is preferring a trace so much I’d probably demand receipts from a toaster.
