This is legacy documentation for Mem0 v0.x. For the latest features and improvements, please refer to v1.0 Beta documentation.

​
Welcome to Mem0 v0.x

Mem0 (pronounced “mem-zero”) is a self-improving memory layer for Large Language Models, enabling developers to create personalized AI experiences that save costs and delight users.

​
What is Mem0?

Mem0 provides an intelligent, adaptive memory system that learns and evolves with each interaction. Unlike traditional RAG approaches that rely on static embeddings, Mem0’s memory system understands context, relationships, and user preferences to deliver truly personalized experiences.

​
Key Features (v0.x)

  • Adaptive Learning: Memory that improves with each user interaction
  • Cross-Platform: Python and JavaScript SDKs
  • Flexible Integration: Works with any LLM and vector database
  • User Personalization: Learns individual user preferences and patterns
  • Developer Friendly: Simple APIs with powerful customization options

​
How Mem0 Works

from mem0 import Memory

# Initialize memory
m = Memory()

# Add memories
m.add("I am working on improving my tennis skills. Suggest some online courses.", user_id="alice")

# Query memories
results = m.search("What can you tell me about alice?", user_id="alice")
# Returns: "Alice is working on improving her tennis skills and is interested in online courses"

results = m.search("restaurant recommendations", user_id="alice")
# Automatically considers vegetarian preference
