Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
Deriving traits and facts from dialogue evidence
Attributes that follow from what the user actually said, not from stereotype or priors.
Separating derived conclusions from speculation
Deductions stated as such; unsupported guesses withheld or labeled.
Evidence traceability
Each represented fact points back to the source turns that support it.
Entity scope: user versus agent representations
Representations are described as covering any entity; keeping them distinct.
Illustrative example
- Input
- Stored turns: "Our team ships every Tuesday and I run the release." and "I've never worked a job outside backend." Question: what does this user own?
- Expected behavior
- States that the user owns the weekly Tuesday release as a backend engineer, and cites both stored turns as the support. It adds no seniority, employer, or tenure detail that the two turns do not entail.
