LAURA, the Language Acquisition Understanding Reasoning Application, is designed to provide a structured memory layer for long-running AI-assisted research.
Core Workflow
- Import conversation, feedback, comparison, and user-history records.
- Store project-linked memories and prior decisions.
- Retrieve context relevant to the current task.
- Assemble prompts that preserve important constraints.
- Record feedback for later evaluation and improvement.
Why Traceability Matters
A research-memory system should show where context came from and which prior assumptions influenced a result. LAURA therefore emphasizes inspectable records, database-backed storage, and explicit context construction.
Current Stage
Phase 1 infrastructure is complete. Phase 2 focuses on memory integration, context tracking, prompt construction, feedback analysis, recursive improvement, and database synchronization.
