ExperienceIndex: Artifact-Grounded Memory

We introduce ExperienceIndex, a novel experience layer for AI agents that captures and reuses knowledge about artifacts based on prior reasoning traces.

Key points

  • Knowledge-intensive tasks require answering many questions by reasoning about a shared corpus of artifacts (e.g., court cases, or scientific literature).
  • Existing memory solutions extract and reuse information from prior task-solving traces, but they primarily focus on user preferences, factual attributes, or abstract reasoning patterns rather than persistent artifact-specific knowledge.
  • Integrated as lightweight middleware, ExperienceIndex uses an experience retrieval mechanism to guide agents toward the complete set of relevant artifacts for new tasks, improving both answer quality and efficiency.
  • We further demonstrate two benefits: (i) cross-task generalization, where experiences accumulated from text-to-SQL tasks transfer to factoid QA tasks over the same artifact corpus, and (ii) teacher-student learning, where experiences from a stronger model enable a weaker model to reach comparable performance.
