🧠 PowerMem - Intelligent Memory System

In AI application development, enabling large language models to persistently "remember" historical conversations, user preferences, and contextual information is a core challenge. PowerMem combines a hybrid storage architecture of vector retrieval, full-text search, and graph databases, and introduces the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve theory from cognitive science to build a powerful memory infrastructure for AI applications. The system also provides comprehensive multi-agent support capabilities, including agent memory isolation, cross-agent collaboration and sharing, fine-grained permission control, and privacy protection mechanisms, enabling multiple AI agents to achieve efficient collaboration while maintaining independent memory spaces.

🚀 Core Features

👨‍💻 Developer Friendly

• 🔌 Lightweight Integration: Provides a simple Python SDK, automatically loads configuration from .env files, enabling developers to quickly integrate into existing projects

🧠 Intelligent Memory Management

• 🔍 Intelligent Memory Extraction: Automatically extracts key facts from conversations through LLM, intelligently detects duplicates, updates conflicting information, and merges related memories to ensure accuracy and consistency of the memory database
• 📉 Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve: Based on the memory forgetting patterns from cognitive science, automatically calculates memory retention rates and implements time-decay weighting, prioritizing recent and relevant memories, allowing AI systems to naturally "forget" outdated information like humans

👤 User Profile Support

• 🎭 User Profile: Automatically builds and updates user profiles based on historical conversations and behavioral data, applicable to scenarios such as personalized recommendations and AI companionship, enabling AI systems to better understand and serve each user

🤖 Multi-Agent Support

• 🔐 Agent Shared/Isolated Memory: Provides independent memory spaces for each agent, supports cross-agent memory sharing and collaboration, and enables flexible permission management through scope control

🎨 Multimodal Support

• 🖼️ Text, Image, and Audio Memory: Automatically converts images and audio to text descriptions for storage, supports retrieval of multimodal mixed content (text + image + audio), enabling AI systems to understand richer contextual information

💾 Deeply Optimized Data Storage

• 📦 Sub Stores Support: Implements data partition management through sub stores, supports automatic query routing, significantly improving query performance and resource utilization for ultra-large-scale data
• 🔗 Hybrid Retrieval: Combines multi-channel recall capabilities of vector retrieval, full-text search, and graph retrieval, builds knowledge graphs through LLM and supports multi-hop graph traversal for precise retrieval of complex memory relationships

🚀 Quick Start

📥 Installation

pip install powermem

💡 Basic Usage

✨ Simplest Way: Create memory from .env file automatically! Configuration Reference

from powermem import Memory, auto_config

# Load configuration (auto-loads from .env)
config = auto_config()
# Create memory instance
memory = Memory(config=config)

# Add memory
memory.add("User likes coffee", user_id="user123")

# Search memories
results = memory.search("user preferences", user_id="user123")
for result in results.get('results', []):
    print(f"- {result.get('memory')}")

For more detailed examples and usage patterns, see the Getting Started Guide.
