## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The `add` operation is how you store memory into Mem0. Whether you're working with a chatbot, a voice assistant, or a multi-agent system, this is the entry point to create long-term memory.
|
||||
|
||||
Memories typically come from a **user-assistant interaction** and Mem0 handles the extraction, transformation, and storage for you.
|
||||
|
||||
Mem0 offers two implementation flows:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mem0 Platform** (Managed, scalable, with dashboard + API)
|
||||
- **Mem0 Open Source** (Lightweight, fully local, flexible SDKs)
|
||||
|
||||
Each supports the same core memory operations, but with slightly different setup. Below, we walk through examples for both.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||

||||
</Frame>
|
||||
|
||||
When you call `add`, Mem0 performs the following steps under the hood:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Information Extraction**
|
||||
The input messages are passed through an LLM that extracts key facts, decisions, preferences, or events worth remembering.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Conflict Resolution**
|
||||
Mem0 compares the new memory against existing ones to detect duplication or contradiction and handles updates accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Memory Storage**
|
||||
The result is stored in a vector database (for semantic search) and optionally in a graph structure (for relationship mapping).
|
||||
|
||||
You don’t need to handle any of this manually, Mem0 takes care of it with a single API call or SDK method.

## Example: Mem0 Platform
|
||||
|
||||
<CodeGroup>
|
||||
```python Python
|
||||
from mem0 import MemoryClient
|
||||
|
||||
client = MemoryClient(api_key="your-api-key")
|
||||
|
||||
messages = [
|
||||
{"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning a trip to Tokyo next month."},
|
||||
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Great! I’ll remember that for future suggestions."}
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
client.add(
|
||||
messages=messages,
|
||||
user_id="alice",
|
||||
version="v2"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript JavaScript
|
||||
import { MemoryClient } from "mem0ai";
|
||||
|
||||
const client = new MemoryClient({apiKey: "your-api-key"});
|
||||
|
||||
const messages = [
|
||||
{ role: "user", content: "I'm planning a trip to Tokyo next month." },
|
||||
{ role: "assistant", content: "Great! I’ll remember that for future suggestions." }
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
await client.add({
|
||||
messages,
|
||||
user_id: "alice",
|
||||
version: "v2"
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
</CodeGroup>

|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Mem0 Open Source
|
||||
|
||||
<CodeGroup>
|
||||
```python Python
|
||||
import os
|
||||
from mem0 import Memory
|
||||
|
||||
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
|
||||
|
||||
m = Memory()
|
||||
|
||||
messages = [
|
||||
{"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
|
||||
{"role": "assistant", "content": "How about a thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
|
||||
{"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
|
||||
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Store inferred memories (default behavior)
|
||||
result = m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movie_recommendations"})
|
||||
|
||||
# Optionally store raw messages without inference
|
||||
result = m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movie_recommendations"}, infer=False)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript JavaScript
|
||||
import { Memory } from 'mem0ai/oss';
|
||||
|
||||
const memory = new Memory();
|
||||
|
||||
const messages = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
role: "user",
|
||||
content: "I like to drink coffee in the morning and go for a walk"
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
const result = memory.add(messages, {
|
||||
userId: "alice",
|
||||
metadata: { category: "preferences" }
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
</CodeGroup>

## When Should You Add Memory?
|
||||
|
||||
Add memory whenever your agent learns something useful:
|
||||
|
||||
- A new user preference is shared
|
||||
- A decision or suggestion is made
|
||||
- A goal or task is completed
|
||||
- A new entity is introduced
|
||||
- A user gives feedback or clarification
|
||||
|
||||
Storing this context allows the agent to reason better in future interactions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### More Details
