 "title": "Keep an assistant's preferences across sessions locally",
 "page_title": "How to keep an assistant's preferences across sessions locally with Octop Memory",
 "summary": "Store user preferences in a local SQLite file and recall them in later sessions.",
 "who": "A developer building a personal assistant who needs it to remember stated preferences between conversations.",
 "problem": "Each new session starts without the user's stated preferences, so the assistant repeats questions and ignores earlier choices.",
 "outcome": "Preferences are saved to a local database and returned as ranked prompt context when the topic comes up again.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pip install octop-memory`",
  "Run `pip install \"octop-memory[cli]\"` to add the command line tool",
  "Create a Memory object with namespace=\"demo\" and backend_config={\"db_path\": \"./demo.sqlite\"}, then call memory.store(\"User prefers Python for backend services\", topic=\"preferences\")",
  "Run `octop-memory --db ./demo.sqlite --namespace demo recall \"Python\"` to confirm the stored preference is found",
  "Call MemoryService(memory).recall(\"Python\") in your assistant and inject result.rendered into the prompt"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the octop-memory repo to store the preference <preference text> in a local SQLite file at ./demo.sqlite under namespace demo. Then recall it with the query <query term> and return the rendered result. Verify that the returned text contains the stored preference.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Manual storage and lexical recall need no model, but automated extraction only runs after you inject an LLMClient, since installing the package does not configure one.",
 "category": "Personal productivity",
 "tags": [

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.12 or newer",
  "pip to install the octop-memory package",
  "A database path for local SQLite storage, or a PostgreSQL DSN for server deployments",
  "An injected LLMClient only if you want automated extraction, promotion, or page regeneration; manual storage and lexical recall work without a model"
