50 Things the Anthropic API Can't Do. Persistent Memory. Part 2/5

Part 2 of 5 in the series: 50 Things the Anthropic API Can't Do | Intermediate Same context as before: Claude helped write this. I gave it access to our docs at docs.backboard.io, it read them itself, and it wrote about what its own underlying API doesn't support. Still no pushback. The model understands this gap better than most developers do when they first run into it. And they always run into it. You shipped your AI feature. Users are coming back. And every time they do, they have to re-explain who they are. Their tech stack. Their preferences. The context they've already given you. Gone. Every session, blank slate. They start over and so does the assistant. That's not an AI problem. That's a missing infrastructure problem. The Anthropic API is stateless, and stateless means no memory. You can simulate context within a session by passing message history. But the moment that session ends, everything is gone. Building real memory on top of the raw API means building a storage layer,
