Every AI agent starts every session with zero memory. No context, no history, just a blank slate that has to rediscover its environment from scratch, and that costs you real time and money.
In this episode of Inside the Stack, Jase Lindgren, Principal P4 User Advocate at Perforce, shows a simple fix: instead of re-prompting your agent every time, capture what it learns in a markdown file, then go one step further and turn that into a custom script. The result, tested across 15 runs: lower cost, faster execution, and better accuracy at catching real issues.

![From Chaos to Control: Building a Real-Time Animation Pipeline with Wyatt Ayars from Ozone
Building a production pipeline is challenging. Building one while producing a film is even harder.
In this episode, Jase Lindgren talks with Wyatt Ayars about Ozone Story Techs journey creating the interactive short film Like while simultaneously developing the tools behind it. Starting with a small team, shared file storage, and manual processes, the project eventually grew into a production pipeline built around Unreal Engine, ShotGrid, automation, and Perforce P4. Along the way, Wyatt shares practical lessons about scaling teams, simplifying artist workflows, and using AI as a force multiplier for technical development.
In this episode:
How Ozone used a film project to validate its rigging technology
The challenges of scaling production with Unreal Engine
Why version control became essential as the team grew
How AI accelerated pipeline development and automation
Lessons learned reducing technical overhead for artists
Career advice for technical artists, developers, and animators
