Why AI Agent Sessions Forget Your Product (And What to Do About It)
Ville YlläsjärviFounder of RAAVCursor, Codex, and Claude Code start from different sessions. The fix is not a longer prompt; it is a small project record that survives all three.
Agents are stateless by default
Each session starts with only the context it can read. Rules files cover conventions, but they rarely say which product idea was rejected yesterday or which branch owns authentication today.
Founders notice the gap when they explain the same feature twice, approve a duplicate refactor, or cannot tell whether “done” included a real test.
The useful memory is not a giant transcript. It is the current brief, named work, decisions, ownership, and evidence.
Memory vs another coding agent
RAAV does not reason about the code. Your chosen agent keeps that job. RAAV stores the project record and exposes it through CLI, MCP, and the founder console.
The record is local-first and does not consume model credits. Hosted access is still being tested with small founder cohorts.
Compare workflows on the features page and Product OS demo.
Practical next step
Pick one launch goal, seed memory locally, and require `raav submit` with verification before closing tickets.
Use the refactor and scale use cases when parallel agent work ramps up.
