Enhancement: Memories.

[AIndoria]

What features would you like to see added?

Something akin to ChatGPT memories, or how OpenWebUI handles memories/knowledge might work?

https://docs.openwebui.com/features/workspace/knowledge/

Knowledge is a section in Open WebUI where you can store structured information that the system can refer to during your interactions.
It’s like a memory system for Open WebUI that allows it to pull from saved data, making responses more personalized and contextually aware.
You can use Knowledge directly in your chats with Open WebUI to access the stored data whenever you need it.

I am unsure how this would functionally work however. Would it call a say, DB query based on user input and/or would the system "surmise" what keywords to search for in the database based on the user input? Or is it just added as a "system prompt" (which again, tends not to work very well if it is long).

More details

Currently, "memories" can somewhat be emulated with Custom System Instructions in parameters for each model and template. This is pretty clunky however, not to mention I have to mix both instructions for the model and what it should remember about me in the same textbox.

Which components are impacted by your request?

I have something prototyped already that works well but need to make some other changes first, thanks for the issue

Is this achievable through tool use? The MCP GitHub has a memory server that looks similar.

[Leonardo-Costa]

@RenFraser i believe that via tool use you could use something like mem0 for memory managemet.

[tiefighter]

I'm playing around with mem0, and It's great for long-term memory.
It would be beneficial to retain memory throughout conversations and utilize only the most pertinent information about the user.

Hey folks, is this something someone is actively working on right now? If yes, do you need some help ? If no, what would the proceeds of picking it up (myself) look like? :)

[ToruGuy]

@RenFraser using the "Memory" MCP can be somewhat problematic, because memories are shared across the entire environment. So every user can access other users' stored memories.

@tiefighter @Leonardo-Costa mem0 sounds reasonable but im not sure if integrating it on tool level would be enough. Probably full integration would be best. Have some thoughts?

Mem0 can certainly function as an effective, user-managed memory layer. It allows users to inspect what’s stored in memory, delete specific information, and even enable or disable the memory feature altogether. However, while this approach is useful at the tool level, I believe a full integration into your application or system architecture would deliver much greater advantages.

@tiefighter were you able to have user-specific memory with mem0?

I've been trying to self-host with MCP-mem0, but saving memories is failing. DIfficult to diagnose because there appears to be a virtualised environment within the container (I'm only familiar with monitoring container logs). How did you set up yours?

Further, I agree—a native memory feature would be better for LibreChat. I don't want users to see the tool call in the UI.

[Leonardo-Costa]

@enieuwy same problem here, no error logs and no debug logs related to failing mcp requests. seems like my librechat application could access the mem0 mcp server just fine for listing tools, but doesnt work with anything else

[danny-avila]

I will not be integrating mem0.

We will have a simple CAG-based, token-limited approach, very similar to ChatGPT, which has shown how effective a simple solution like this can be. This will be implemented sooner rather than later.

@enieuwy
I haven’t tried Mem0 with LibreChat. I only tested it using a Python script for experimental purposes.

@danny-avila solution seams best option.

While I love that there is a solution now

Currently, memory only works when using agents.

Seems weird to gatekeep (I'm not sure of the right word) the feature. Is this a technical limitation?
