These stories use analogies to illustrate how resumable AI could work, inspired by real systems like Qwik, CRIU, and LangGraph. They describe a proposed architecture, not currently deployed technology.

Understanding Resumability

Learn through stories and analogies. Each story teaches a key concept about how AI systems can save and restore their cognitive state.

Quick Reference

Cognitive State

The AI's complete 'mental state' - what it knows, believes, and is trying to do.

Checkpoint

A saved snapshot of cognitive state that can be restored instantly.

Branch

A parallel exploration path - try alternatives without losing progress.

Resumability

Restoring state directly instead of replaying (hydrating) from scratch.
