What Dustav remembers

For an agent to keep your household straight, it has to remember the durable stuff — who's in the family, birthdays, preferences, the standing schedules. Dustav keeps all of that as a flat set of facts: plainly written down, plainly readable, and a visible part of the glass box.

A knowledge base of facts

The agent's memory is a single, flat collection of facts — the durable truth about your household and the life you share: who's in the family, birthdays, preferences, standing schedules, the things a good household agent should just know. Each fact is added or corrected in place, never rewritten wholesale, so repeated upkeep can't quietly erode what it knows.

What it deliberately isn't is a rolling diary of the last few days. The recent back-and-forth already lives in the conversation itself; the facts KB is what the agent keeps once that scrolls past. And every surface reads from the same place — the calendar, the notes, and a chat all draw on the one set of facts, so there's no second, contradictory copy of what the agent believes.

There's no opaque vector database and no pile of per-day note files. One readable knowledge base beats a clever store you can't see.

Capturing a fact

When something worth keeping comes up — a kid's teacher's name, that Grandma visits every second Sunday — the agent records it as a fact. You'll see it happen: a fact goes into the knowledge base, and you can open the Facts view in the glass box and read exactly what it has kept. Nothing about what the agent "remembers" is hidden behind a summary you can't inspect.

Because the facts are just data the agent reads on each turn, keeping them is cheap and direct — there's no separate summarization pass, no background grind, no clever compression step that could drift from the truth. A fact is either in the knowledge base, where you can read it, or it isn't.

You can correct it

Because memory is a readable knowledge base and not a black box, you have real control over it. Ask the agent to forget something or fix a detail, and it makes a precise edit to that one fact — no full rewrite, no collateral damage to the rest of the record. The deterministic escape hatch — delete everything — lives at the account level. (Privacy & data custody covers the promises here.)

No background housekeeping

The agent never rewrites your facts invisibly. Every change to what it knows happens in response to the conversation and shows up in the glass box — not as a hidden cron job grinding away on your data. If something happened to what the agent knows, you can see that it happened.
