LiteMem Pro: Give Your AI Assistant Persistent Memory with File-Based Semantic Search

#python #ai #memory #rag

Three weeks ago you explained your project background to an AI assistant. Today you want to continue the discussion -- and it remembers nothing.

This is a fundamental LLM limitation: no persistent memory across sessions.

LiteMem Pro: File-Based AI Memory System

LiteMem Pro is a Python-built local AI memory system with a core design principle: no database required, no cloud services -- semantic search via pure file storage.

How It Works

Store memories: Add manually, or let the system auto-extract key info from conversations
Semantic retrieval: Uses vector similarity search to find relevant memories
Context injection: Automatically injects retrieved memories into new conversation context

All data stays in your local filesystem.

Core Features

Zero infrastructure dependencies: Memory data stored as .jsonl files, vector index saved locally. No PostgreSQL, Redis, or any database service needed.

Semantic search: Not keyword matching -- understands meaning. Searching "project tech stack" finds your saved "using React and FastAPI" note.

Memory layering: Short-term (in-session), long-term (cross-session), and core knowledge (permanent) -- managed separately.

Privacy-first: All processing is local, nothing uploaded to any server.

from litemem import MemorySystem

mem = MemorySystem("./my_memories")

# Store memory
mem.add("Project uses React 19 + FastAPI 0.110, deployed on Render")
mem.add("Client requires dark mode support for all interfaces")

# Semantic search
results = mem.search("frontend tech choices")
# Returns: ["Project uses React 19 + FastAPI..."]

# Auto-inject context
context = mem.get_context("discussing component architecture")
# Automatically includes all relevant memories
