memx-ai 0.1.15

Lightweight and extensible memory layer for LLMs

Lightweight and extensible memory layer for LLMs.

Important Disclaimer: Fix the package version and run your own tests :)

🔥 Key Features

• Framework agnostic: Use your preferred AI agent framework.
• No vendor lock-in: Use your preferred cloud provider or infrastructure. No third-party api keys; your data, your rules.
• Multiple backends: Seamlessly move from your local POC to production deployment (SQLite, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis).
• Sync and async api: Highly compatible with modern and legacy frameworks.
• No forced schema: As long it is a list of json serializable objects.
• Resumable memory: Perfect for chat applications and REST APIs.
• Robust: Get production-ready code with minimal effort.
• No esoteric patching: You have 100% control over the things you persist (and the things you don't). Act as a sidecar for your framework without touching your libraries under the hood.

⚙️ Installation

From pypi:

pip install memx-ai

🚀 Quickstart

OpenAI

Simple conversation using OpenAI Python library

# https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/conversation-state?api-mode=responses
# tested on openai==2.6.1

from openai import OpenAI
from memx.engine.sqlite import SQLiteEngine

sqlite_uri = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///message-storage.db"
engine = SQLiteEngine(sqlite_uri, "memx-messages", start_up=True)
m1 = engine.create_session()  # create a new session

client = OpenAI()

m1.sync.add([{"role": "user", "content": "tell me a good joke about programmers"}])

first_response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini", input=m1.sync.get(), store=False
)

print(first_response.output_text)

m1.sync.add(
    [{"role": r.role, "content": r.content[0].text} for r in first_response.output]
)

m1.sync.add([{"role": "user", "content": "tell me another"}])

second_response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini", input=m1.sync.get(), store=False
)

m1.sync.add(
    [{"role": r.role, "content": r.content[0].text} for r in second_response.output]
)

print(f"\n\n{second_response.output_text}")

print(m1.sync.get())

Pydantic AI

Message history with async Pydantic AI + OpenAI

# Reference: https://ai.pydantic.dev/message-history/

import asyncio

import orjson
from pydantic_ai import Agent, ModelMessagesTypeAdapter

from memx.engine.sqlite import SQLiteEngine

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o-mini")


async def main():
    sqlite_uri = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///message_store.db"
    engine = SQLiteEngine(sqlite_uri, "memx-messages", start_up=True)
    m1 = engine.create_session()  # create a new session

    result1 = await agent.run('Where does "hello world" come from?')

    # it is your responsibility to add the messages as a list[dict]
    messages = orjson.loads(result1.new_messages_json())

    await m1.add(messages)  # messages: list[dict] must be json serializable

    session_id = m1.get_id()
    print("Messages added with session_id: ", session_id)

    # resume the conversation from 'another' memory
    m2 = await engine.get_session(session_id)
    old_messages = ModelMessagesTypeAdapter.validate_python(await m2.get())

    print("Past messages:\n", old_messages)

    result2 = await agent.run(
        "Could you tell me more about the authors?", message_history=old_messages
    )
    print("\n\nContext aware result:\n", result2.output)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

You can change the memory backend with minimal modifications. Same API to add and get messages.

from memx.engine.mongodb import MongoDBEngine
from memx.engine.postgres import PostgresEngine
from memx.engine.redis import RedisEngine
from memx.engine.sqlite import SQLiteEngine

# SQLite backend
sqlite_uri = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///message_store.db"
e1 = SQLiteEngine(sqlite_uri, "memx-messages", start_up=True)
m1 = e1.create_session() # memory session ready to go

# PostgreSQL backend
pg_uri = "postgresql+psycopg://admin:1234@localhost:5433/test-database"
e2 = PostgresEngine(pg_uri, "memx-messages", start_up=True)
m2 = e2.create_session()

# MongoDB backend
mongodb_uri = "mongodb://admin:1234@localhost:27017"
e3 = MongoDBEngine(mongodb_uri, "memx-test", "memx-messages")
m3 = e3.create_session()

# Redis backend
redis_uri = "redis://default:1234@localhost:6379/0"
e4 = RedisEngine(redis_uri, start_up=True)
m4 = e4.create_session()
