Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:- Installed Livekit Agents SDK with voice dependencies of silero and deepgram:
- Installed Mem0 SDK:
- Set up your API keys in a
.envfile:
Note: Make sure to have a Livekit and Deepgram account. You can find these variablesLIVEKIT_URL,LIVEKIT_API_KEY, andLIVEKIT_API_SECRETfrom the LiveKit Cloud Console. For more information, refer to the LiveKit Documentation. ForDEEPGRAM_API_KEY, you can get it from the Deepgram Console. Refer to the Deepgram Documentation for more details.
Code Breakdown
Let’s break down the key components of this implementation using LiveKit Agents:1. Setting Up Dependencies and Environment
2. Mem0 Client and Agent Definition
3. Entrypoint and Session Setup
Key Features of This Implementation
- Semantic Memory Retrieval: Uses Mem0 to store and retrieve contextually relevant memories
- Voice Interaction: Leverages LiveKit for voice communication with proper turn detection
- Intelligent Context Management: Augments conversations with past interactions
- Travel Planning Specialization: Focused on creating a helpful travel guide assistant
- Function Tools: Modern tool definition for enhanced capabilities
Running the Example
To run this example:- Install all required dependencies
- Set up your
.envfile with the necessary API keys - Ensure your microphone and audio setup are configured
- Run the script with Python 3.11 or newer and with the following command:
- After the script starts, you can interact with the voice agent using LiveKit’s Agent Platform and connect to the agent to start conversations.
Best Practices for Voice Agents with Memory
- Context Preservation: Store enough context with each memory for effective retrieval
- Privacy Considerations: Implement secure memory management
- Relevant Memory Filtering: Use semantic search to retrieve only the most relevant memories
- Error Handling: Implement robust error handling for memory operations
Debugging Function Tools
- To run the script in debug mode simply start the assistant with
devmode:
- When working with memory-enabled voice agents, use Python’s
loggingmodule for effective debugging:
- Check the logs for any issues with API keys, connectivity, or memory operations.
- Ensure your
.envfile is correctly configured and loaded.
