 "title": "Stop assistants from guessing answers never stored",
 "page_title": "How to stop assistants from guessing answers never stored with Memoket Kite",
 "summary": "Get an empty recall result for questions memory never covered, so the agent says it does not know.",
 "who": "A support or operations team lead whose chatbot answers questions about past customer interactions and must not invent details when nothing was recorded.",
 "problem": "Most memory systems always return the closest match, so an assistant can confidently answer from unrelated text.",
 "outcome": "When the memory has no matching fact, the recall comes back empty, and the agent can tell the user that the answer was not recorded.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the library: `python -m pip install memoket-kite`",
  "Set your key, replacing the placeholder with your own: `export OPENAI_API_KEY=\"sk-...\"`",
  "Create the artifacts folder: `mkdir -p artifacts`",
  "Download the demo file: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/memoket/memoket-kite/main/examples/data/demo_codebook.xml -o artifacts/quickstart.xml` (inferred, check the README)",
  "In Python, load the memory with Memory.load(\"artifacts/quickstart.xml\"), then loop over memory.recall(\"<question never stored>\") and count the facts returned.",
  "If the list is empty, make the agent reply that the information was not recorded instead of producing an answer."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the memoket-kite repo's Python API. Load artifacts/quickstart.xml and run memory.recall on <question> that was never stored. Expected output: an empty result list, and the agent replies that the answer was not recorded. Verify the result list has zero items before the agent makes any claim.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes the empty result behavior, but it does not say how a caller should word the reply to the user, so that wording is up to your agent.",
