Step 17: Memory

Remember me!

Prerequisites

Same as Step 09 - copy the config file and add your API key:

cp default_workspace/config.example.yaml default_workspace/config.user.yaml
# Edit config.user.yaml to add your API key

What We Will Build

pickle: @cookie Do you know <topic> about user?
cookie: Yes, <content>.

Key Components

Memory agent - Specialized agent for memory management
default_workspace/agents/cookie/AGENT.md

Try it out

cd 17-memory
uv run my-bot chat

# You: Remember that I my name is Zane
# Pickle: Got it! I've saved that preference.

uv run my-bot chat

# User: What's my name?
# Pickle: Based on your memory, you name is Zane! Hi Zane! 😸
