|
|
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 concept of “Memory” exists to do 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.

The following sections of documentation are provided:
|
|
|
|
- `Getting Started <./memory/getting_started.html>`_: An overview of how to get started with different types of memory.
|
|
|
|
- `How-To Guides <./memory/how_to_guides.html>`_: A collection of how-to guides. These highlight different types of memory, as well as how to use memory in chains.
