Building an Agent That Learns from Every Interaction with Hindsight

Building an Agent That Learns from Every Interaction with Hindsight Picture the 3 a.m. version of this. An alert fires, you open your incident response tool, and the assistant says: "This looks like INC-214: connection pool exhaustion, fixed by raising max_connections." You go looking for INC-214 in your issue tracker. It doesn't exist. That failure mode is why I built MemoryOps. To be clear,…

Imagine a situation at 3 a.m. when an alert triggers. An engineer opens an incident response tool, and the assistant provides an analysis. For instance, it might state: "This resembles INC-214, a connection pool exhaustion issue, which can be fixed by raising the maximum number of connections." The engineer then searches for INC-214 in the issue tracker, but it does not exist.

This error mode is the motivation behind creating MemoryOps. The system is designed to address LLM hallucinations, where fabricated citations can be worse than generic answers. During an outage, a fabricated citation can appear credible, leading to applying a fix that was never tested. To mitigate this risk, MemoryOps incorporates persistent operational memory into the incident response process.

How I fixed LLM counting hallucinations using Hindsight facts

The first time my support agent told me a customer had contacted us "twice" when the record showed four separate contacts, I assumed I had a retrieval bug. I didn't. The memory was fine.

  • Customer support memory agent developed to streamline interactions
  • Language model struggled with counting interactions accurately
  • Structured facts stored in Hindsight eliminated hallucinations
