Hey all. I have a chat app. I’m using crews to respond to user inquiries in the chat. I would like crews to provide answers and rely on a context from a previous questions. My expectation is that Memory feature can help with that. I configured my crew in the following way: ```auto dynamic_crew = Crew( agents=crew_agents, tasks=crew_tasks, verbose=True, memory=True, embedder={ "provider": "google", "config": { "api_key": os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"), "model": "models/text-embedding-004" } }, long_term_memory=LongTermMemory(storage=LTMSQLiteStorage( db_path= "./memorydb/dynamic_crew_%s/long_term_memory_storage.db" % user_id)), short_term_memory=ShortTermMemory(storage=RAGStorage( type="short_term", embedder_config={ "provider": "google", "config": { "api_key": os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"), "model": "models/text-embedding-004" } }, path="./memorydb/dynamic_crew_%s/" % user_id)), entity_memory=EntityMemory(storage=RAGStorage( type="short_term", embedder_config={ "provider": "google", "config": { "api_key": os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"), "model": "models/text-embedding-004" } }, path="./memorydb/dynamic_crew_%s/" % user_id)), ) ``` As you see for each user the memory is stored in a different folder. I see the files are stored in the folder and memories are written, but at the same time I don’t see context being used. Like I ask a simple question: How old is Nike brand? - got a response. The next question is: “What about Columbia?” - the crew response is not about the age at all. Are my expectations wrong? I saw [this article](https://www.zinyando.com/building-a-conversational-chatbot-with-crewai-groq-chromadb-and-mem0/) from @zinyando that makes sense for my use case, but I’m curious if I can have built-in memory to work for this use case. ---

I am also interested in this use case ---

This is a bit difficult to achieve with just built in memory, you need a combination of short-term memory (conversation history) and long term memories to have a proper chatbot that understand the context of the conversation. This this thread is a bit old, did you manage to achieve what you wanted? ---

@zinyando frankly no. I had multiple attempts, but memory is still not working as I would expect. I just want to have some clarity about memory in CrewAI. What are the intended use cases if not the context enrichment from previous requests. ---

I’m not sure what the level of solution you work on, but there are a couple of techs for mids and enterprise grade providing long memory in specific cases - one works like a cognitive memory within the chat, another like business intent memory in specific product context. ---

@Serge_B yeah, I get it. like mem0 or smth. I can use those. But I’m still interested what is the goal of memory feature in CrewAI. Is it not working as intended or I’m trying to misuse it? ---

Hey, did you make any progress on this? I’m also looking into options around long term and short term memory for conversational interactions ---

Hey, did you get a solution to your issue? For long term memory, I usually just use Mem0/Zep and for short term I just store the conversation history and return x last chats. I don’t know your particular use case and situation but I’d be happy to help you figure something out if you haven’t yet. ---

It looks like the build in memory doesnt provide conversation history like functionality and you need to implement that yourself.
