You can create a personalized AI Companion using Mem0. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps and provide the complete setup instructions to get you started. You can try the Mem0 Demo live here.

​
Overview

The Personalized AI Companion leverages Mem0 to retain information across interactions, enabling a tailored learning experience. It creates memories for each user interaction and integrates with OpenAI’s GPT models to provide detailed and context-aware responses to user queries.

​
Setup

Before you begin, follow these steps to set up the demo application:
  1. Clone the Mem0 repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0.git
  2. Navigate to the demo application folder: 
    cd mem0/examples/mem0-demo
  3. Install dependencies: 
    pnpm install
  4. Set up environment variables by creating a .env file in the project root with the following content: 
    OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
MEM0_API_KEY=your_mem0_api_key
    You can obtain your MEM0_API_KEY by signing up at Mem0 API Dashboard.
  5. Start the development server: 
    pnpm run dev

​
Enhancing the Next.js Application

Once the demo is running, you can customize and enhance the Next.js application by modifying the components in the mem0-demo folder. Consider:
  • Adding new memory features to improve contextual retention.
  • Customizing the UI to better suit your application needs.
  • Integrating additional APIs or third-party services to extend functionality.
