Understanding a Squidler agent's memory through Harry Potter
July 29, 2026 · 3 min read
Compare what you remember from Harry Potter's first year to what our agent remembers.
We talked about why and how memory is created in the previous posts (the overview, capturing, dreaming). But illustrating what an AI agent remembers is a bit tricky, as it depends on the experiences the agent has had.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone may be one of the most known works of art of our time. So we ran it through an agent's memory, letting it dream after each chapter. Below you can see the memory build up and change over time.
A few things to try. Pick "The hunt for the Stone" in the Focus menu and step through the final chapters: the agent spends most of the book with Quirrell down as a nervous man who had a bad year abroad, and you can watch that belief get overturned when the truth comes out.
It is not perfect, like how it finishes the book still convinced Slytherin won the house cup, when Dumbledore hands Gryffindor the points that take it on the very last pages. That is the nice thing about running a well-known work through the memory: you can spot the mistakes yourself.
Every belief links back to the memories it was distilled from, so click one to read them. They are the agent's own words about what it read, with anything it copied from the book struck out.
