ConversationBufferMemory#

class langchain.memory.buffer.ConversationBufferMemory[source]#

Bases: BaseChatMemory

Deprecated since version 0.3.1: Please see the migration guide at: https://python.langchain.com/docs/versions/migrating_memory/ It will be removed in None==1.0.0.

A basic memory implementation that simply stores the conversation history.

This stores the entire conversation history in memory without any additional processing.

Note that additional processing may be required in some situations when the conversation history is too large to fit in the context window of the model.

async abuffer() → Any[source]#

String buffer of memory.

Return type:

Any

async abuffer_as_messages() → List[BaseMessage][source]#

Return type:

List[BaseMessage]

async abuffer_as_str() → str[source]#

Exposes the buffer as a string in case return_messages is True.

Return type:

str

async aclear() → None#

Clear memory contents.

Return type:

None

async aload_memory_variables(inputs: Dict[str, Any]) → Dict[str, Any][source]#
