SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Memory Systems address the lack of persistent state in AI agents by providing a layered memory architecture that preserves context across sessions, tracks entities, and enables reasoning over past interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-layer memory model (working, short-term, long-term, entity memory) with temporal graphs for time-aware reasoning.
  • Vector stores with metadata for semantic recall and entity-level retrieval across sessions.
  • Knowledge graphs and Temporal Knowledge Graphs to model entities, relationships, and historical validity.
  • Memory consolidation to prune, merge, and archive outdated memories while preserving useful context.
  • Context integration to inject relevant memories into current task prompts.

Quick Start

Initialize the memory system and start a session, then store a fact about an entity with a timestamp and retrieve memories by entity and time; finally run a consolidation pass to prune stale data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add persistent memory to an AI agent across sessions?

Persistent memory for AI agents is achieved through a layered architecture using file-based storage, vector stores, and knowledge graphs. This preserves context across sessions by tracking entities and enabling reasoning over past interactions.

What is a temporal knowledge graph for AI memory?

A temporal knowledge graph models entities and relationships with historical validity timestamps. This allows AI memory systems to perform time-aware reasoning and execute time-based queries to retrieve historically accurate context.

How do I store and retrieve entity-specific memories for an AI agent?

Entity-specific AI memory is stored in vector stores with metadata or knowledge graphs. You retrieve these memories by querying the specific entity alongside timestamps to pull relevant historical context into the current task prompt.

What is the best way to manage outdated memories in a knowledge graph?

Managing outdated knowledge graph memories requires a memory consolidation workflow. This process prunes, merges, and archives stale data while preserving useful context, ensuring the AI agent maintains scalable retrieval and accurate reasoning.

Does this AI memory system work without external database dependencies?

The memory system supports a simple file-based memory approach alongside vector stores and knowledge graphs. Because it has no external dependencies, it can be initialized directly without requiring external database setup.

How does context integration work when injecting past memories into an AI prompt?

Context integration injects relevant accumulated memories directly into current task prompts. The system retrieves semantic matches from vector stores or entity relationships from knowledge graphs to provide the AI agent with continuous working context.
