Glossary. The terms, in one sentence.
The vocabulary for giving AI agents memory, context and history across channels and vendors. Each term links to the page that covers it in depth.
- Audit trail
The record of every read: which agent read what, why and when. At Niadra it is chained with SHA-256 hashes and streamed to the company's SIEM.
Read more- Channel handoff
When the customer switches channels in the middle of an issue, for example from a call to WhatsApp. With shared memory, the next agent starts out knowing what was handled.
Read more- Confidence level
How much the conversation has already proven who the person is. A phone number is a hint; a password login is proof. The context delivered changes with the level.
Read more- Context
What the AI agent receives before it replies: who the customer is, what is still open, what just happened on another channel and what the history teaches, ready for the prompt.
Read more- Controller and processor
Roles under the GDPR and the LGPD. The company that serves the customer is the controller; Niadra processes data on its behalf, as processor, under a data processing agreement (DPA).
Read more- FIPS 140-3 HSM
A hardware module that keeps encryption keys without ever letting them out. FIPS 140-3 is the NIST standard for these modules; Niadra uses level 3.
Read more- History
Everything that has happened with the customer, open for the agent to search during the conversation when the context is not enough.
Read more- History search
The lookup the agent runs during the conversation, by meaning and by keyword, filtered by period, channel and topic. Each result comes back with date, channel and outcome.
Read more- Human handoff
Passing the conversation from an AI agent to a human agent. With shared memory, the human gets the full case and does not ask for the tax ID again.
Read more- Identity resolution
Working out that a phone number, an email, a tax ID and an app login belong to the same person, without relying on a user ID handed over ready-made by each channel.
Read more- Layered context
Ordering the context from what changes least to what changes most (company rules, profile, open items, just now), so the provider can reuse the beginning.
Read more- MCP
Model Context Protocol, the open protocol that connects tools to AI models. Niadra's history search works as an MCP tool, in addition to the SDK and the HTTP API.
Read more- Memory
Everything Niadra keeps and organizes about a customer: full conversations, facts, preferences, open items and promises, with date and source.
Read more- Neutral layer
A memory that is not an agent, not a channel and does not compete with agent vendors. That is why all of them can read and feed the same memory, and switching vendors erases nothing.
Read more- Omnichannel memory
The customer memory that all of a company's AI agents share, on any channel and from any vendor. It keeps conversations, facts, open items and promises, with the source of each one.
Read more- Prompt caching
The AI provider reusing the beginning of a prompt that repeats. The reused part costs much less, as long as it passes each model's minimum length.
Read more- Purpose-based access
The rule that sets what each agent may read based on the reason for the interaction. The collections agent never sees a technical issue or health data.
Read more- Recycled number
A phone number that changed owners. Treated as a hint, not as proof, it never hands one person's history to someone else.
