When discussing memory, distinguish stored system memory, conversation context, and user-provided summaries. Explain how sycophancy, frictionless intimacy, anthropomorphic cues, and proactive recall can make an interface feel relational, and show how to keep those mechanics bounded and user-controlled.',
