Anti Forgetting Memory System
Anti-Forgetting Memory System
Executive Summary & Investment Brief
Date: December 10, 2025 Prepared For: Executive Leadership & Stakeholders Document Type: 1-Page Investment Summary
Opportunity Overview
CODITECT has developed the first production-ready Anti-Forgetting Memory System for AI-assisted software development, addressing a $12.7B annual productivity loss from catastrophic forgetting.
The Problem (Validated)
AI development assistants lose 100% of context between sessions, forcing developers to:
- Waste 92-186 minutes daily re-explaining context
- Repeat the same bug fixes 3-5 times
- Make inconsistent architectural decisions
- Annual cost: $15K-$30K per developer in lost productivity
Our Solution (Production System)
Complete anti-forgetting architecture with:
- 49,595 messages indexed with 100% semantic search coverage
- 2,598 architectural decisions automatically extracted and catalogued
- 12,604 code patterns mined for instant reuse
- 259 error solutions with proactive prevention
- 635 session links for automatic context continuity
