CreaMem organizes long-term agent memory around a user’s life scenes—Life, Work, and Interest—while pairing concrete episodic events with generalized scene-level traits. Across LoCoMo and LongMemEval-S, it reaches 54.61% and 66.40% GPT-4o-Judge accuracy, respectively, outperforming the strongest reported baselines while using far less context than full-history retrieval.

Key insights

  • Partitioning memory by life scene reduces competition between unrelated memories, but excessive fragmentation can dilute retrieval density; the default three-scene organization outperforms a five-partition alternative.
  • Combining episodic and scene-level representations is more effective than using either alone, improving access to both concrete evidence and generalized preferences.
  • Retrieval quality is non-monotonic with context size: larger budgets can help initially, but excessive entries introduce noise and increase cost without improving answers.
