hindsight-ag2

AG2 integration for Hindsight — persistent long-term memory for AI agents.

Provides Hindsight-backed tool functions that give AG2 agents long-term memory across conversations via retain/recall/reflect operations.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • Running Hindsight instance (quickstart)

Installation

pip install hindsight-ag2

Quick Start

from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, LLMConfig
from hindsight_ag2 import register_hindsight_tools

llm_config = LLMConfig(api_type="openai", model="gpt-4o-mini")

with llm_config:
    assistant = AssistantAgent(
        name="assistant",
        system_message="You are a helpful assistant with long-term memory.",
    )
    user_proxy = UserProxyAgent(
        name="user",
        human_input_mode="NEVER",
    )

# Register Hindsight memory tools on both agents
register_hindsight_tools(
    assistant, user_proxy,
    bank_id="my-bank",
    hindsight_api_url="http://localhost:8888",
)

# The assistant can now use hindsight_retain, hindsight_recall, hindsight_reflect
result = user_proxy.initiate_chat(
    assistant,
    message="Remember that I prefer Python over JavaScript.",
)

Tools

Tool Operation Description
hindsight_retain Retain Store facts, preferences, decisions to long-term memory
hindsight_recall Recall Multi-strategy search across stored memories
hindsight_reflect Reflect Synthesize reasoned answers from memories

Configuration

Global config

from hindsight_ag2 import configure

configure(
    hindsight_api_url="http://localhost:8888",
    api_key="your-key",       # or set HINDSIGHT_API_KEY env var
    budget="mid",              # low / mid / high
    max_tokens=4096,
    tags=["source:ag2"],       # default tags for retain
)

Per-call overrides

All global settings can be overridden per create_hindsight_tools() call:

Parameter Description Default
bank_id Memory bank ID (required) —
client Pre-configured Hindsight client —
hindsight_api_url API URL Global config or production
api_key API key Global config or env var
budget Recall/reflect budget "mid"
max_tokens Max tokens for recall 4096
tags Tags for retain operations None
recall_tags Tags to filter recall None
recall_tags_match Tag match mode "any"
retain_metadata Metadata dict for retain None
retain_document_id Document ID for retain None
recall_types Fact types to filter None
recall_include_entities Include entities in recall False
reflect_context Additional context for reflect None
reflect_max_tokens Max tokens for reflect max_tokens
reflect_response_schema JSON schema for reflect output None
reflect_tags Tags for reflect (fallback: recall_tags) None
reflect_tags_match Tag match for reflect recall_tags_match

Advanced: Manual Registration

from hindsight_ag2 import create_hindsight_tools

tools = create_hindsight_tools(
    bank_id="my-bank",
    hindsight_api_url="http://localhost:8888",
)
for tool_fn in tools:
    assistant.register_for_llm(description=tool_fn.__doc__)(tool_fn)
    user_proxy.register_for_execution()(tool_fn)

Advanced: GroupChat with Shared Memory

from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, GroupChat, GroupChatManager, LLMConfig
from hindsight_ag2 import register_hindsight_tools

llm_config = LLMConfig(api_type="openai", model="gpt-4o-mini")

with llm_config:
    researcher = AssistantAgent(name="researcher", system_message="You research topics.")
    writer = AssistantAgent(name="writer", system_message="You write content.")
    executor = UserProxyAgent(name="executor", human_input_mode="NEVER")

# All agents share the same memory bank
for agent in [researcher, writer]:
    register_hindsight_tools(agent, executor, bank_id="team-memory")

group_chat = GroupChat(agents=[researcher, writer, executor], messages=[])
manager = GroupChatManager(groupchat=group_chat)

Requirements

  • ag2>=0.9.0
  • hindsight-client>=0.4.0
