Belief Models: The Missing Layer in AI Personalization

Belief models are structured representations of user preferences and constraints that persist across AI interactions. Enterprise multi-agent systems currently force users to re-establish context with every new agent, creating friction and inconsistent experiences. This post examines architectural patterns for implementing belief models, cross-agent alignment strategies, and methods to prevent context decay.
