🚀 Introducing Lyzr Cognis (Default Provider)
Lyzr Cognis is the default memory provider for all agents created in Lyzr Studio. It is a state-of-the-art module built specifically for high-stakes, production-grade workloads where understanding the “long-tail” of a conversation is critical.Key Features of Cognis:
- Temporal Awareness: Understands the timing and sequence of interactions for superior historical context.
- Cross-Session Memory: Unlike standard short-term memory, Cognis can remember details about a specific user across different sessions. If a user returns days later, the agent retains knowledge of previous interactions, preferences, and outcomes.
- Matryoshka Embeddings: Utilizes advanced embedding techniques to optimize search accuracy and storage efficiency.
- SOTA Benchmarking: Competes against and outperforms industry leaders across several retrieval and accuracy parameters.
⚙️ Configuring Short-Term Memory
Short-term memory stores recent messages from the current session, ensuring the agent remembers immediate context without users having to repeat themselves.Step 1: Enable Memory and Select Provider
- Locate: In the Create Agent view, find the Memory toggle under Core Features. Toggle it ON.
- Configure: Click the settings icon next to the Memory feature to open the Configure Memory modal.
