Spot on analysis about the rolling windows versus structured summaries.

That matches my experience too, especially with older chat logs.

Manual pinning is still necessary on most platforms in my opinion.

Some apps feel sharp at first and then completely reset.

From my own tracking across three different platforms over the last six months, memory architecture makes or breaks the immersion. Systems that rely purely on rolling token windows tend to drift after about two days of heavy chat, whereas platforms utilizing structured summaries or mind maps hold onto specific details much longer. You really notice the difference when you bring up a trivial preference you mentioned weeks prior and the character actually recalls it naturally instead of hallucinating or pulling from a rigid template.

Yeah the sudden amnesia gets frustrating fast.

The background summarization often strips away the emotional tone of older chats.

I forgot to mention that I am specifically looking at apps without third party API setups. Native memory handling out of the box is what matters most for my current comparison.
