Memory System for AI Conversations

Project description

AIMemo

Memory System for AI Conversations

AIMemo is a lightweight memory layer that enables AI agents to remember context across conversations. Build AI applications that truly understand and remember your users.

PyPI version License: MIT

🚀 Features

  • Automatic Memory: Intercepts LLM calls and injects relevant context
  • Multiple Backends: SQLite, PostgreSQL support out of the box
  • Zero Config: Works with sensible defaults, configure when needed
  • LLM Agnostic: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and more
  • Namespace Isolation: Perfect for multi-user applications
  • Full-Text Search: Fast memory retrieval with FTS5/PostgreSQL search

📦 Installation

pip install aimemo

For PostgreSQL support:

pip install aimemo[postgres]

⚡ Quick Start

from aimemo import AIMemo
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize AIMemo
aimemo = AIMemo()
aimemo.enable()

# Use OpenAI normally - memory is automatic!
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm building a FastAPI project"}]
)

# Later conversation - context is automatically injected
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "How do I add authentication?"}]
)
# The model remembers your FastAPI project!

💡 Use Cases

  • Personal AI Assistants: Remember user preferences and history
  • Customer Support Bots: Maintain context across support sessions
  • Research Assistants: Keep track of research topics and findings
  • Multi-Agent Systems: Share memory between multiple AI agents
  • Learning Apps: Track student progress and learning patterns

🔧 Configuration

Database Options

SQLite (default):

from aimemo import AIMemo

aimemo = AIMemo()  # Uses aimemo.db by default

PostgreSQL:

from aimemo import AIMemo, PostgresStore

store = PostgresStore("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/aimemo")
aimemo = AIMemo(store=store)

Environment Variables

export AIMEMO_DB_PATH="./my_memory.db"
export AIMEMO_MAX_CONTEXT=10

Manual Memory Management

from aimemo import AIMemo

aimemo = AIMemo(namespace="user_123")

# Add memories manually
aimemo.add_memory(
    content="User prefers dark mode",
    tags=["preference", "ui"],
    metadata={"priority": "high"}
)

# Search memories
results = aimemo.search("dark mode", limit=5)

# Get formatted context
context = aimemo.get_context("user interface preferences")

Multi-User Applications

from aimemo import AIMemo

# Each user gets their own namespace
user_memory = AIMemo(namespace=f"user_{user_id}")
user_memory.enable()

# Memories are isolated per user

Development & Planning

Core API

AIMemo

  • enable() - Start intercepting LLM calls
  • disable() - Stop intercepting
  • add_memory(content, metadata, tags) - Add memory manually
  • search(query, limit) - Search memories
  • get_context(query, limit) - Get formatted context
  • clear(namespace) - Clear memories

Storage Backends

  • SQLiteStore(db_path) - SQLite storage
  • PostgresStore(connection_string) - PostgreSQL storage

Architecture

AIMemo works by intercepting LLM API calls:

  1. Pre-call: Searches relevant memories based on user query
  2. Injection: Adds context to the conversation
  3. Post-call: Stores the conversation for future reference

All automatically, with zero code changes!
