Multiple Memory classes

We can use multiple memory classes in the same chain. To combine multiple memory classes, we initialize and use the CombinedMemory class.

from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
from langchain.memory import (
CombinedMemory,
ConversationBufferMemory,
ConversationSummaryMemory,
)
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import OpenAI

conv_memory = ConversationBufferMemory(
memory_key="chat_history_lines", input_key="input"
)

summary_memory = ConversationSummaryMemory(llm=OpenAI(), input_key="input")
# Combined
memory = CombinedMemory(memories=[conv_memory, summary_memory])
_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE = """The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.
