## 🔑 Key Features

### 1. ConversationMemory (Short-term)
- ✅ Fast in-memory list-based storage
- ✅ Automatic message ID generation
- ✅ Duplicate detection
- ✅ Role-based filtering
- ✅ Size truncation
- ✅ State serialization/deserialization
- ✅ Index-based deletion

### 2. PersistentMemory (Long-term)
- ✅ mem0 integration for vector search
- ✅ Semantic retrieval across sessions
- ✅ Metadata-based organization (agent/user/session)
- ✅ Dual control modes (developer + agent)
- ✅ Multiple vector store backends (Qdrant, Chroma, etc.)
- ✅ Tool interface for agent-controlled memory

### 3. Mem0 Adapters
- ✅ MassGenLLMAdapter - bridges MassGen LLM backends to mem0
- ✅ MassGenEmbeddingAdapter - bridges MassGen embedding backends to mem0
- ✅ Async→sync conversion handling
- ✅ Streaming response aggregation

## 🔄 How It Differs from AgentScope

We've successfully adapted agentscope's memory while making it "look like" MassGen code:

| Aspect | AgentScope | MassGen | Change Type |
|--------|-----------|---------|-------------|
| **Naming** | InMemoryMemory | ConversationMemory | Rebranded |
| **Naming** | Mem0LongTermMemory | PersistentMemory | Rebranded |
| **Message Format** | `Msg` objects | `Dict[str, Any]` | Adapted |
| **Base Classes** | Inherits `StateModule` | Standalone ABC | Simplified |
| **Adapters** | `AgentScopeLLM` | `MassGenLLMAdapter` | Renamed |
| **Adapters** | `AgentScopeEmbedding` | `MassGenEmbeddingAdapter` | Renamed |
| **Tool Names** | `record_to_memory` | `save_to_memory` | Rebranded |
| **Tool Names** | `retrieve_from_memory` | `recall_from_memory` | Rebranded |
| **Documentation** | Academic style | Practical examples | Rewritten |
| **Examples** | Minimal | Comprehensive | Enhanced |

## 🎯 Design Decisions

### 1. Why We Kept mem0
- **Proven**: mem0 is a mature, well-tested library
- **Features**: Automatic summarization, multiple backends
- **Community**: Active development and support
- **Integration**: Easy to adapt with our custom adapters

### 2. Why We Changed Names
- **Branding**: Makes it feel like native MassGen code
- **Clarity**: Names are more descriptive of purpose
  - "ConversationMemory" > "InMemoryMemory" (clearer intent)
  - "PersistentMemory" > "Mem0LongTermMemory" (less vendor-locked)
- **Consistency**: Matches MassGen naming conventions

### 3. Why We Simplified Base Classes
- **Independence**: No dependency on external StateModule
- **Flexibility**: Easier to extend and customize
- **Clarity**: Simpler inheritance hierarchy

### 4. Why We Enhanced Documentation
- **Accessibility**: Practical examples over academic descriptions
- **Completeness**: Quick start, examples, and deep-dive docs
- **Usability**: Multiple entry points for different user needs

## 🚀 Usage Examples

### Example 1: Simple Conversation Memory
```python
from massgen.memory import ConversationMemory

memory = ConversationMemory()
await memory.add({"role": "user", "content": "Hello"})
messages = await memory.get_messages()
```

### Example 2: Persistent Memory with mem0
```python
from massgen.memory import PersistentMemory

memory = PersistentMemory(
    agent_name="my_agent",
    llm_backend=llm_backend,
    embedding_backend=embedding_backend,
    on_disk=True
)

await memory.record([{"role": "user", "content": "Important info"}])
context = await memory.retrieve("important")
```

### Example 3: Agent with Both Memories
```python
class SmartAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        self.short_term = ConversationMemory()
        self.long_term = PersistentMemory(...)

    async def chat(self, message):
        # Use short-term for current context
        await self.short_term.add({"role": "user", "content": message})

        # Use long-term for relevant history
        context = await self.long_term.retrieve(message)

        # Generate response with full context
        full_context = await self.short_term.get_messages()
        # ... generate response
```

## 🔧 Integration Points

### Where Memory Fits in MassGen

```
MassGen Agent
    ├── Backend (LLM)
    ├── Tools
    └── Memory (NEW!)
        ├── ConversationMemory (short-term)
        └── PersistentMemory (long-term)
            └── mem0 (vector store)
```

### Next Steps for Integration

To integrate with existing MassGen agents:

1. **Add to SingleAgent** (`chat_agent.py`):
   ```python
   class SingleAgent(ChatAgent):
       def __init__(self, backend, memory_config=None):
           self.memory = ConversationMemory()
           # ... rest of init
   ```

2. **Add to Orchestrator** (`orchestrator.py`):
   ```python
   class Orchestrator(ChatAgent):
       def __init__(self, agents, memory_config=None):
           self.shared_memory = ConversationMemory()
           # ... rest of init
   ```

3. **Optional: Add persistent memory**:
   ```python
   if memory_config.get('enable_persistent'):
       self.long_term_memory = PersistentMemory(...)
   ```
