“The surrounding application needs some mechanism to persist information outside the model. So that could be a file, a database, a session store, and some other durable storage mechanism.”

“America.gov is designed… it just has a big old LLM search box… it stores no data, that it doesn't have user accounts… an LLM front end to, like, five million government databases.”

“I use Supabase, which is just a great database as a service... I can import and export, you know, Postgres or SQL... I have it replicated back to a cloud backup just so I always have my data”
