What Ori Actually Does During a Conversation That a Search Engine Can't
A search engine, asked a question, retrieves the best available answer to that specific question and stops there — it has no memory of the last time a similar question was asked, and no mechanism for noticing that it's being asked again, in a slightly different form, for the third time this month.
Ori does something a search engine structurally cannot: it holds continuity across a conversation and across many conversations, which means a question that resembles a question from weeks earlier doesn't get treated as brand new. The resemblance itself becomes part of what's being responded to, not just the literal content of what was asked.
This changes the nature of the response. Instead of only answering "why does this keep happening with my partner," Ori can also respond to the fact that some version of that exact question has been asked four times in two months — which is itself information a stateless search engine has no access to at all.
The individual answer was never the differentiator. The differentiator is noticing the question is recurring, and treating that recurrence as the more important signal.
