They don't work well if you do that: https://arxiv.org/html/2509.16332v1 - they apparently require a sense of self to preform the way they do - You'd have to do it deterministically on the front end I suspect.

2 problems of many are:

context windows + compacting + whatever they do behind the scene to stitch cohesive narrative over time - single LLM convos should just never be allowed to get that long, you can effectively build whatever you want as a personality, people return to the same convo a lot, It gets wild fast.

Cross Section memory is a bad feature as implemented in many chat bots, the memory feature can effectively poison any conversation. Anthropic figured this out, their memory feature is a search not a memory that informs the personality/manipulates the current session.
