Steve Yegge(@Steve_Yegge):Beads is the oldest and most mature OSS memory system for agents out there. It's the foundation for all my work for the past year, and has matured tremendously with the work of the Gas City folks. Now that everyone is finally figuring out that they need to "grow" their company brains, I see all these products coming out. You don't need products, you just need Beads. Show it to your agent today.
