// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide what your chatbot should remember about each user across sessions — preferences, facts and profile traits — rather than treating every chat as new.

  2. Get Memobase

    Clone the repo and check its documentation at memobase.io for the current deployment options.

  3. Install and configure

    Follow the project's docs to run the memory backend and connect your LLM, since profile extraction is LLM-driven.

  4. Run your first task

    Send a few conversations for one user, then start a new session and confirm the chatbot recalls the stored profile.

Designed specifically as memory for AI chatbot applications.

Long-term persistence

Memory is meant to survive across sessions so returning users are recognized.

Python project

Implemented in Python, fitting the typical LLM application stack.

Questions, answered

Who maintains Memobase?

memodb-io maintains it; the project site is memobase.io.

Is Memobase free?

Yes, it is Apache-2.0 licensed open source. Running it still needs an LLM for profile extraction, whose costs depend on your provider.

Does it need a paid API key?

Profile-based memory systems typically call an LLM to extract and update profiles, so expect to supply your own model key or a local model setup; check the current docs for supported providers.

How does it compare to plain chat-history storage?

Storing history replays raw messages. Memobase distills conversations into user profiles designed for long-term recall.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo and follow the quickstart in its documentation at memobase.io.
