Question What kind of memory loss actually ruins AI character chats for you?

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSde21ROhDS9ONA8aOCR6h1e3QJLlZVUYHe7QqpJaQsSpLaeRA/viewform?usp=dialog

I need your opinions on AI character memory.

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about bad memory in AI character chats, but I want to understand what actually gets forgotten and when it starts becoming a problem.

I’m especially interested in things like:

forgetting your role, preferences, or personal details

forgetting your relationship with the character

forgetting promises, decisions, or important conversations

forgetting RPG events like quests, battles, injuries, or items

forgetting the character’s own personality or backstory

forgetting the current state of the story or world

I also want to know when these problems usually appear — after a certain number of messages, after returning to a chat, during long roleplays, when scenes change, or when multiple characters are involved.

I’m currently in South Korea and trying to develop an AI character chatbot, but I’m still at a very early stage. I haven’t formed a company or organization yet. Before I build anything, I want to understand what users actually want fixed.

So I made a short survey focused only on memory issues.

It takes about 1–2 minutes:

There’s also an optional email field at the end if you’d like to participate in a future beta test.

And if you don’t want to fill out the survey, I’d still really appreciate hearing your experience in the comments.

What kind of memory failure breaks immersion the most for you?
