Messages from the assistant are excluded. When using `agent_id`, only memories from messages with `"role": "assistant"` are stored. If you provide both `user_id` and `agent_id` in the same call, each message will be stored with the appropriate ID based on its role. This role-based separation prevents the memories of one role from influencing the memories of a different role, ensuring cleaner and more reliable memory management. + When passing `user_id`, memories are primarily created based on user messages, but may be influenced by assistant messages for contextual understanding. For example, in a conversation about food preferences, both the user's stated preferences and their responses to the assistant's questions would form user memories. Similarly, when using `agent_id`, assistant messages are prioritized, but user messages might influence the agent's memories based on context. This approach ensures comprehensive memory creation while maintaining appropriate attribution to either users or agents. + + **Example:** + ``` + User: My favorite cuisine is Italian + Assistant: Nice! What about Indian cuisine? + User: Don't like it much since I cannot eat spicy food + + Resulting user memories: + memory1 - Likes Italian food + memory2 - Doesn't like Indian food since cannot eat spicy + + (memory2 comes from user's response about Indian cuisine) + ``` Metadata allows you to store structured information (location, timestamp, user state) with memories. Add it during creation to enable precise filtering and retrieval during searches.
