Agent memory must become smaller without becoming less trustworthy.
Token budgets protect operating cost while source-grounded context protects the quality of customer interactions.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Finance asked why one chat needs so much context, and I’m still trimming it by hand.”
Yan Park · Application Developer
Builds a customer-facing AI agent that retrieves context before responding across messaging and voice interactions.
What is at stake
Developers are manually limiting agent context because old interaction histories are too costly to send in full. You must weigh lower token use against the risk of removing evidence an agent needs.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- token cost vs. customer context
- compression rate vs. source fidelity
- offline agreement vs. live usefulness
- adaptable ranking vs. predictable behavior
Why Twilio

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
