From Chatbot to Colleague: Give Your AI a Memory For about six months, I was building an application at work on my own. Pushing out a single new feature took me roughly a week, design it, attach it to the database, sort the permissions and the views, test it, move on. Steady, but slow. Then one day, I had the idea of rather than using the AI to troubleshoot errors or write parts of the code I wanted it to write, what about if I just handed the project over and oversaw it? So I handed the whole thing to an AI agent. I gave it the core structure of the app, the databases, the views, the permissions and I told it what the application was actually for : what was in scope, what wasn't, the nice-to-haves and the absolute must-haves. And then, crucially, I gave it somewhere to remember all of that . What happened next genuinely changed how I work. As we built, I taught the agent what I wanted, and told it to create documentation as we go, the agent recorded what we were doing, why we were...
