JEPA and Semantic Memory: Why Current AI Models Fall Short
I wrote a posts recently on the need for agentic systems to have semantic-associative memory capabilities. Someone asked whether something like LeCun’s Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) gives us semantic memory. The answer: not really, but it does potentially do many other good things. JEPA, as I understand it, trains a model to predict latent […]
New Integration: Real-Time Cohorts & Streaming Events from Amplitude to Aampe
As a modular and shared agentic infrastructure, Aampe is built to seamlessly empower your existing tools, learn from data across your sources, and generate higher value data that can be piped anywhere you need with minimal lift. Our new integration with Amplitude is a powerful example of that plug-and-play flexibility—bringing your Amplitude cohorts to your […]

Taxfix makes taxes easier and empowering with Agentic AI, partnering with Aampe for continuously intelligent engagement. For most people, tax filing isn’t just a transaction, it’s a highly personal, often stressful journey. From understanding tax obligations to maximizing returns, every customer’s financial story is unique. Taxfix Group is Europe’s leading finance platform for digital tax […]
Having Agency vs Acting Agentically
We throw around terms like “agency” when discussing AI, but the term itself lacks definition. That’s a problem that predates AI. The idea of “agency” raises a lot of questions that generations of philosophers haven’t been able to answer: ❌ Must agency involve conscious goals or do instincts count?❌ Can purely mental acts be a […]
Agentic AI in Enterprises
As LLM costs drop and capabilities grow, it’s tempting to use them as the engine behind every customer interaction. But real-time generation is rarely essential. Most businesses face semantic-associative problems, not generative ones. The issue isn’t a lack of words — it’s knowing which words work, when, and for whom. Semantic-associative learning connects abstract message […]
Unlocking the Power of Semantic-Associative Memory in AI Systems
One of the quiet advantages of semantic-associative agents is how many classic ML concerns just sort of disappear. Take rare events, cold starts, and data sparsity. These are tough problems for most machine learning systems because they depend on statistical regularities across many users. But our agents aren’t trying to model “users like this one.” […]
How Aampe Handles Model Drift with Agentic Systems
People sometimes ask how we deal with model drift at Aampe. We don’t, for the most part. We don’t have to. Agentic systems that operate on the basis of semantic-associative learning don’t have to worry about drift in the traditional sense, because the system learns continuously. Model drift is a problem you get when you […]
Why Agentic Systems don’t operate over a huge State Space
Agentic systems don’t operate over a huge, chaotic message space. They operate over structured action sets — defined semantic categories that make up a treatment policy. At Aampe, a typical treatment policy might be composed from action sets: day of week, time of day, channel, value proposition, product/offering, tone of voice, incentive level/type, and so […]
Reevaluating Campaigns in Customer Engagement: Embracing Agentic Systems
Technology is enabling, but it’s also constraining — your choice of technology requires tradeoffs. You limit yourself in some ways to multiply your efforts in others. Customer engagement tools are no different. Consider how “campaigns” are used: As orchestration — specifying which users get which messages under what conditions. This helps scale communication by breaking […]
Beyond Multi-Armed Bandits: Understanding Aampe’s Semantic-Associative Agents
People sometimes ask whether our system is a kind of multi-armed bandit. It’s not. But that’s not a bad place to start if you want a familiar reference point. Our semantic-associative agents use the same basic intuition: take actions, observe outcomes, and update preferences. But two key differences make this something else entirely: Multi-dimensional action […]
