I am doing something very similar to this. I think the workspace _being_ the memory is the way. It's also enabled the workspace to be completely model and harness agnostic.
On top of that, I actually have it as an Obsidian vault, and I have the llm themselves use Obsidian markdown for the frontmatter and knowledge graph linking. It makes it very easy for me to navigate the data and interact in a way that is deeply enjoyable, and it also helps the model navigate the files.
I've been using PI for this - just switch to "oh my pi" and am liking it!
Honestly, it's been a dream, I have it running in a docker-sandbox with access to a single git repo (not hosted) that I am using for varied things with my business.
Try it out, it's super easy to setup. If you use docker sandbox, you can just follow what is necessary for claude, spin up the sandbox, exit out, exec into it with bash and switch to Pi.
I was on a plane two weeks ago, and this girl - likely 12 was trying to get the screen in the seat to work by tapping it. Her Mom (likely in her 30s) started doing the same thing, both confused.
I gave it a beat and then reached over and pushed the button to pop out the remote control for them. It was a cute head smack moment for the Mom and the daughter didn’t know what to do with the remote for a solid few seconds.
This happens to me as well when I’m in a public bathroom without a sensor, and I wave my hands underneath obliviously for a few moments.
Somewhat off topic but I always groan when I sit down and see those dusty ass Boing remotes under the entertainment system. They are so janky and old from wear.
The reality is that the money being thrown = the time of humans. I guess compute as well, but in terms of people doing innovation - openly published things are the same thing, minus the money.
What always came to mind for me is an “engine wiring harness”. It’s responsible for getting power and data to all the right places without having to manually route cables around the engine / car.
If you google an image of it, maybe it’ll make sense
