looking to dive deep into ai memory & data retrieval methods... where do I start?

so i've been working on the ai memory area for sometime and now i feel its time to dive deeper into it than just consuming the surface layer, but relatively i know nothing much better than the names of the prominent methods through which we are providing the ai agent the right piece of info without directly blowing up the context window (eg can be rag), but i don't know the deep mechanics

would be really glad if someone could help me map out the process moving forward!

(my working area might need me to do some deeper research n stuff on the same thing)

I redesigned the concept of bookmarks n their usage but got no real users to test it out

I realized it doesn't matter what we save n how we organise them... all of these are bs at the end of the day if we aren't actively consuming it when we need them

​

All the modern tools especially with the AI wave we made sure we were beautifying the process of saving stuff- folders, tags, colorful dashboards, etc but lets be honest if you don't get it when you actually need them without looking for it does it actually create a difference?

​

That's what made me create [Tagzzs](https://www.tagzzs.com/)... Its not a platform that just saves the stuff into your platform and organises them in a beautiful way but reintroduces them directly into the flow exactly when you need them!

​

But now am stuck in a pinch where I don't have any real users who can test this out and actually provide me genuine feedback around it

Been working on this idea and kinda stuck on a dead end - I will not promote

To begin with a lil bg story- me n my co founder used to share and save a lot of stuff for research n revisiting purpose when needed but couldn't really reuse them when needed which lead us to working on our current idea which helps us in bridging the gap between saving stuff and reusing them

​

So we did what every first time founder does we rolled out mvp first, launched it in our circles got 200+ signups (non paying ones) in first day and by the end of the first month we had easy 300+ signups... but the problem was retention which we weren't much obsessed around at that moment becoz we were participating in a fund raising competition and we shifted all our focus into that. We secured some funds there(7.5L by current standards is not even $8k for 5% equity... which we still haven't got lol but meant a lot for us at that moment as some random cllg students starting on things). Now afterwards all that we started realizing the actual need of the user for better retention (it was again via these non paying users only our dumbest mistake tbh) we realized our approach was wrong. Then filtered out the insights from people who could actually pay for this n use it on daily basis and developed it what it is now (which is again getting quite some applause by the people but no traction).

​

Now the actual problem- its going to be around 5months since the mvp day but we still haven't actually secured our very own first customer who uses our tool on daily basis and actually pays to use it providing all the necessary insights and feedbacks that helps us to shape this tool for the better adoption of the customer. This keeps on pushing me into the dilemma if what I am building is good enough or was it just a hype built by my peers??

​

Just some basic things to better understand this scenario, the genuine feedbacks we started taking which we deemed valuable were getting directly via my X posting n interactions happening there which is what shaped all the initial product marketing and launch around. And am not sure if its ok to drop the link or not so am just gonna drop the name- Tagzzs (genuinely no idea if this will be considered under not self promotion or not but am just dropping this so could help to understand my situation better)

​

Atp we've realized us running this just to gather users isn't gonna work... what we will need is people whose life is dependent upon this tool's existence but for some reasons we are just not able to find who are these people to begin with
