Daniel Chalef and the trouble with remembering everything
From open-source software in Cape Town to AI memory at Zep, Daniel Chalef has kept returning to the same problem: information is plentiful, but useful context takes work.

Charles Packer is the co-founder and CEO of Letta, the San Francisco startup building the memory layer for AI agents. He is the original author of MemGPT, the viral research project that reframed large language models as operating systems that manage their own memory. A UC Berkeley computer science PhD out of the BAIR and Sky Computing labs, Packer walked away from offers at OpenAI and Google DeepMind to build stateful agents that remember, learn, and improve after deployment - the layer he argues sits above the base models and separates a real agent from a chatbot with a nice interface.
