Research agents that accumulate

Without Klio

A research agent’s findings die with its context window. The next run re-reads the same sources, repeats the same dead ends, and calls it progress.

With Klio in the loop

1. 1

   Each run sets down findings, sources and dead ends as it goes.

2. 2

   The next run recalls before searching, so it extends the map instead of redrawing it.

3. 3

   Because memory is vendor-neutral MCP, switching models does not reset the work.

The call an agent makes

note(
  {
    "content": "The 2607.29377 baseline comparison is unnamed in the abstract — treat its 57.6% claim as unreplicated."
  }
)

Real tool, illustrative payload. The full contract for every tool is in the docs.

What changes

Research becomes cumulative. Ten runs build one body of knowledge instead of ten disposable ones.
