When AI agents interact directly with humans — customers, patients, employees — their behavior must be consistent, contextually appropriate, and reliably escalated when situations exceed their authority. Memrail governs what the agent should do at each moment.

The Problem
The same situation produces different agent responses depending on prompt variation, model temperature, or context window contents. Users experience the agent as unreliable and unpredictable, eroding trust in the entire system.
LLM drift means approaches that worked well in previous sessions are "forgotten" in new ones. The agent has no persistent memory of what was effective, so it repeats failed strategies and abandons successful ones.
High-risk states fail to trigger human escalation because the escalation pathway is probabilistic, not deterministic. A user expressing a critical need might receive a generic response instead of being routed to a specialist.
Without restraint logic, the agent pushes too many recommendations, messages, or actions on the user. There is no concept of cognitive load management, fatigue, or appropriate pacing in the interaction.
The Solution
Memrail sits between the agent's intent and its interaction with the user. At every turn in the conversation, Memrail evaluates what the agent is proposing to do — and determines the appropriate action based on your governance policies.
Mandatory escalation pathways are deterministic: when certain conditions are met, the agent must escalate. This is not a probability threshold — it is a guarantee. Context directives guide the LLM's behavior without replacing it, steering responses to be appropriate for the current user state. Cooldowns and suppression logic prevent the agent from repeating itself or overwhelming the user.
Example: Governed coaching agent
Consider a coaching agent that supports users through difficult situations. Without governance, the agent might fail to escalate when a user indicates they need professional help, or it might repeat the same advice in every session. With Memrail, mandatory escalation rules fire deterministically when risk indicators appear. Temporal awareness tracks what happened in recent sessions to prevent repetition. Vision-aligned directives ensure the agent's short-term actions support the user's long-term goals.
