Direct Import - Mem0

How to Use Direct Import

The Direct Import feature allows users to skip the memory deduction phase and directly input pre-defined memories into the system for storage and retrieval. To enable this feature, set the infer parameter to False in the add method.

Python

Output

messages = [\
    {"role": "user", "content": "Alice loves playing badminton"},\
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's great! Alice is a fitness freak"},\
    {"role": "user", "content": "Alice mostly cooks at home because of her gym plan"},\
]

client.add(messages, user_id="alice", infer=False)

[]

You can see that the output of the add call is an empty list.

Only messages with the role “user” will be used for storage. Messages with roles such as “assistant” or “system” will be ignored during the storage process.

Direct import skips the inference pipeline, so it also skips duplicate detection. If you later send the same fact with infer=True, Mem0 will store a second copy. Pick one mode per memory source unless you truly want both versions.

How to Retrieve Memories

You can retrieve memories using the search method.

Python

Output

client.search("What is Alice's favorite sport?", filters={"user_id": "alice"})

{
  "results": [\
    {\
      "id": "19d6d7aa-2454-4e58-96fc-e74d9e9f8dd1",\
      "memory": "Alice loves playing badminton",\
      "user_id": "pc123",\
      "metadata": null,\
      "categories": null,\
      "created_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474901-07:00",\
      "updated_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474912-07:00"\
    }\
  ]
}

How to Retrieve All Memories

You can retrieve all memories using the get_all method.

get_all() now requires filters to be specified.

Python

Output

client.get_all(filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "alice"}]})

{
  "results": [\
    {\
      "id": "19d6d7aa-2454-4e58-96fc-e74d9e9f8dd1",\
      "memory": "Alice loves playing badminton",\
      "user_id": "pc123",\
      "metadata": null,\
      "categories": null,\
      "created_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474901-07:00",\
      "updated_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474912-07:00"\
    },\
    {\
      "id": "8557f05d-7b3c-47e5-b409-9886f9e314fc",\
      "memory": "Alice mostly cooks at home because of her gym plan",\
      "user_id": "pc123",\
      "metadata": null,\
      "categories": null,\
      "created_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474929-07:00",\
      "updated_at": "2024-10-15T21:52:11.474932-07:00"\
    }\
  ]
}
