What it is

In MemGPT, model-selected function calls move information between active context and external storage.

When to use

Application idea: explore this pattern when a research project spans more material than one chat can use at once.

Caveats

Do not assume a shared notes store reproduces this architecture. Evaluate whether the assistant actually retrieves the right records and preserves the source’s uncertainty.
