Entity

Entity memory remembers given facts about specific entities in a conversation. It extracts information on entities (using an LLM) and builds up its knowledge about that entity over time (also using an LLM).

Let's first walk through using this functionality.

from langchain_openai import OpenAI
from langchain.memory import ConversationEntityMemory
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
memory = ConversationEntityMemory(llm=llm)
_input = {"input": "Deven & Sam are working on a hackathon project"}
memory.load_memory_variables(_input)
memory.save_context(
_input,
{"output": " That sounds like a great project! What kind of project are they working on?"}
)
memory.load_memory_variables({"input": 'who is Sam'})
    {'history': 'Human: Deven & Sam are working on a hackathon project\nAI:  That sounds like a great project! What kind of project are they working on?',
'entities': {'Sam': 'Sam is working on a hackathon project with Deven.'}}
memory = ConversationEntityMemory(llm=llm, return_messages=True)
_input = {"input": "Deven & Sam are working on a hackathon project"}
memory.load_memory_variables(_input)
memory.save_context(
_input,
{"output": " That sounds like a great project! What kind of project are they working on?"}
)
memory.load_memory_variables({"input": 'who is Sam'})
    {'history': [HumanMessage(content='Deven & Sam are working on a hackathon project', additional_kwargs={}),
AIMessage(content=' That sounds like a great project! What kind of project are they working on?', additional_kwargs={})],
'entities': {'Sam': 'Sam is working on a hackathon project with Deven.'}}

Using in a chain

Let's now use it in a chain!

from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
from langchain.memory import ConversationEntityMemory
from langchain.memory.prompt import ENTITY_MEMORY_CONVERSATION_TEMPLATE
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List, Dict, Any
conversation = ConversationChain(
llm=llm,
verbose=True,
prompt=ENTITY_MEMORY_CONVERSATION_TEMPLATE,
memory=ConversationEntityMemory(llm=llm)
)
conversation.predict(input="Deven & Sam are working on a hackathon project")

Inspecting the memory store

We can also inspect the memory store directly. In the following examples, we look at it directly, and then go through some examples of adding information and watch how it changes.

from pprint import pprint
