## Introduction to Memory Systems in crewAI
|
||||
!!! note "Enhancing Agent Intelligence"
|
||||
The crewAI framework introduces a sophisticated memory system designed to significantly enhance the capabilities of AI agents. This system comprises short-term memory, long-term memory, and entity memory, each serving a unique purpose in aiding agents to remember, reason, and learn from past interactions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory System Components
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Description |
|
||||
| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Short-Term Memory**| Temporarily stores recent interactions and outcomes, enabling agents to recall and utilize information relevant to their current context. |
|
||||
| **Long-Term Memory** | Preserves valuable insights and learnings from past executions, allowing agents to build and refine their knowledge over time. |
|
||||
| **Entity Memory** | Captures and organizes information about entities (people, places, concepts) encountered during tasks, facilitating deeper understanding and relationship mapping. |
|
||||
|
||||
## How Memory Systems Empower Agents
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Contextual Awareness**: With short-term memory, agents gain the ability to maintain context over a conversation or task sequence, leading to more coherent and relevant responses.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Experience Accumulation**: Long-term memory allows agents to accumulate experiences, learning from past actions to improve future decision-making and problem-solving.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Entity Understanding**: By maintaining entity memory, agents can recognize and remember key entities, enhancing their ability to process and interact with complex information.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementing Memory in Your Crew
|
||||
|
||||
When configuring a crew, you can enable and customize each memory component to suit the crew's objectives and the nature of tasks it will perform.
|
||||
By default the memory system is disabled, but you can enable it by setting `memory=True` in the crew configuration.
|
||||
The memory will use OpenAI Embeddings by default, but you can change it by setting `embedder` to a different model.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Configuring Memory for a Crew
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
# Assemble your crew with memory capabilities
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
# Optional: Customize the memory embedding model
|
||||
# embedder={
|
||||
# "provider": "huggingface",
|
||||
# "config":{
|
||||
# "model": 'sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2'
|
||||
# }
|
||||
# }
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using OpenAI embeddings (already default)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "openai",
|
||||
"config":{
|
||||
"model": 'text-embedding-3-small'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Google AI embeddings
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "google",
|
||||
"config":{
|
||||
"model": 'models/embedding-001',
|
||||
"task_type": "retrieval_document",
|
||||
"title": "Embeddings for Embedchain"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Azure OpenAI embeddings
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "azure_openai",
|
||||
"config":{
|
||||
"model": 'text-embedding-ada-002',
|
||||
"deployment_name": "you_embedding_model_deployment_name"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using GPT4ALL embeddings
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "gpt4all"
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Vertex AI embeddings
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "vertexai",
|
||||
"config":{
|
||||
"model": 'textembedding-gecko'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Cohere embeddings
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
|
||||
|
||||
my_crew = Crew(
|
||||
agents=[...],
|
||||
tasks=[...],
|
||||
process=Process.sequential,
|
||||
memory=True,
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
embedder={
|
||||
"provider": "cohere",
|
||||
"config":{
|
||||
"model": "embed-english-v3.0"
|
||||
"vector_dimension": 1024
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
