Memory Configuration

Core Memory Settings

Include Memory Toggle

Enable or disable the chatbot's ability to remember past interactions:

• Yes: Chatbot maintains conversation context
• No: Each interaction is treated independently
• Impact on response relevance and personalization
• Affects token usage and processing speed

Memory Type Selection

Currently supports:

• ConversationSummaryBufferMemory
• Maintains condensed conversation history
• Optimizes token usage through summarization
• Balances context retention with performance
• Best for most use cases

Configuration Parameters

Memory History

• Set the number of conversation turns to retain
• Default: 10 turns
• Considerations:
• Higher values provide better context
• Lower values reduce token usage
• Recommended range: 5-15 turns
• Adjust based on conversation complexity

Chat Storage Duration

• Define how long to store chat histories
• Default: 365 days
• Key factors:
• Compliance requirements
• User experience needs
• Storage costs
• Data privacy policies

Best Practices

Memory Optimization

1. Context Length

• Balance depth vs. performance
• Consider typical conversation patterns
• Monitor token usage
• Test different history lengths

2. Storage Management

• Regular cleanup of old conversations
• Implement data retention policies
• Monitor storage usage
• Consider compliance requirements

Use Case Recommendations

1. Customer Support

• Memory History: 8-10 turns
• Storage Duration: 90-365 days
• Enable summarization

2. Technical Support

• Memory History: 12-15 turns
• Storage Duration: 180-365 days
• Detailed context retention

3. General Inquiries

• Memory History: 5-8 turns
• Storage Duration: 30-90 days
