Interesting, thank you!

I think a lot about the cost of the loop, mostly in terms of time. I don't want the bot to take too long to respond. That's why dream cycles seem like an obvious solution to some of the more heavy work. I guess it would make sense to combine those with your idea -- "given what I know about the user, what should I study?", especially if it has access to an "enhanced" knowledge db like you suggest..

Yes, it would be a good idea for an agent first to collect user interests, and later, when ingesting data in the RAG system, to annotate it with useful metadata such as topic, summary, entities, user interest related question-answer pairs. Whatever we want to ask later better be made explicit in the text.
