|
|
|
|
By default, Chains and Agents are stateless,
|
|
meaning that they treat each incoming query independently (as are the underlying LLMs and chat models).
|
|
In some applications (chatbots being a GREAT example) it is highly important
|
|
to remember previous interactions, both at a short term but also at a long term level.
|
|
The **Memory** does exactly that.
|
|
|
|
LangChain provides memory components in two forms.
|
|
First, LangChain provides helper utilities for managing and manipulating previous chat messages.
|
|
These are designed to be modular and useful regardless of how they are used.
|
|
Secondly, LangChain provides easy ways to incorporate these utilities into chains.
