Short-Term Memory stores context and data within the scope of a single conversation session. It enables your LyZR agent to maintain conversational coherence and provide contextually relevant responses during an ongoing interaction.

​
1. Behavior and Use Cases

  • Session Scope: Data persists only until the conversation ends or the session is reset.

  • Ephemeral: No data is stored beyond the session lifecycle, ensuring transient context management.

  • Use Cases:

    • Follow-up questions within the same chat (e.g., clarifying a previous response).
    • Maintaining context across multiple turns in a dialog (e.g., multi-step problem solving).

​
2. Configuration in Lyzr Studio

  1. Open your Agent in Studio and navigate to the Memory tab.
  2. Toggle Short-Term Memory on.
  3. Optionally set Retention Settings (e.g., max messages or time window).

​
3. Configuration via API

When defining an agent programmatically, include the following memory feature object in your JSON payload:

{
  "type": "SHORT_TERM_MEMORY",
  "config": {
  },
  "priority": 0
}
