Handling State in GenAI: An Architect’s Guide to Memory

Описание: Stop your AI from hallucinating new architectures by giving it long-term memory. In this video, I show how to use Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) as a context layer, preventing LLMs from re-litigating decisions you've already made. This is a critical System Design pattern for any Senior Developer, Software Architect using Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT for enterprise work.

Senior architects and solution architects struggle with AI suggesting changes that ignore past decisions. Without decision context, AI operates in a vacuum and proposes alternatives that violate principles your team already decided. This creates wasted cycles re-litigating settled issues.

I share insights from 20+ years leading enterprise transformations at various sectors from telecommunications, logistics aviation to financial institutions. This framework transforms ADRs from documentation overhead into AI governance mechanisms.

In this video:
• Learn the Architecture Decision Record Format that AI can consume as context
• Apply the ADR Context Test to determine when to include architectural history
• Prevent AI from re-litigating decided issues through structured decision sharing
• Use AI as Decision Proposer while maintaining human architectural authority
• Real case study: How documenting one decision eliminated three months of repeated conversations

ABOUT JANISEXPLAINS ARCHITECTURE:
Software architecture tutorials for senior developers and solution architects. Real stories, proven frameworks, measurable results from 20+ years in telecommunications, finance, and government.

Write an ADR for your next architectural decision. Use the Context-Decision-Consequences structure. Before your next AI-assisted implementation in that area, include the ADR in your prompt context. Observe whether AI respects the decided pattern.

What decision would you document first as an ADR? Share in the comments for detailed feedback on ADR format.
