Hi, I am trying to use the crewai’s in-built memory feature but it is giving me an error while adding and searching.

Crewai version: 0.86.0  
OS: Windows 11  
pyhton: 3.12.6

```
    @crew
def crew(self) -> Crew:
    return Crew(
        agents=self.agents,
        tasks=self.tasks,
        manager_llm=LLM(temperature=0, model="claude-3-haiku-20240307"),
        process=Process.hierarchical,
        memory=True,
        verbose=True
    )

Can you share more of your code? Also if you could add the full error message.

Kindly find my code for the tasks below.

```

            verbose=True
        )

    @agent
    def meeting_note_taker(self ) -> Agent:
        return Agent(

        )

    @agent
    def meeting_analyzer(self ) -> Agent:

    @task
    def summarize_meeting(self) -> Task:
        return Task(

            output_json=Summaries,
            #async_execution=True,
        )

    @task

    @task

        return Task(

            output_json=FollowUps,
            #async_execution=True
        )

    @task
    def analyze_ideas(self) -> Task:
        return Task(

    @crew
    def crew(self) -> Crew:
        return Crew(

            memory=True,
            verbose=True
        )

```

I do not get any more errors. I receive below before a task starts

```
    ERROR:root:Error during short_term search: APIStatusError. __init__ () missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: 'response' and 'body'
    ERROR:root:Error during entities search: APIStatusError. __init__ () missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: 'response' and 'body'

```

I receive below after a task has completed

```
ERROR:root:Error during short_term save: APIStatusError. __init__ () missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: 'response' and 'body'
ERROR:root:Error during entities save: APIStatusError. __init__ () missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: 'response' and 'body'

I have successfully resolved the issue I was encountering.

The resolution involved adding credits to my OpenAI account. Following this, both short-term and entity memory functionalities began to operate as expected.

I was aware Crewai memory, by default, used OpenAI embeddings. However, the documentation did not explicitly state the requirement of OpenAI credits for the memory feature to function correctly.

I am now able to observe data being populated within both my entity and short-term memory.

It would be beneficial if Crewai could return a low credit error more explicitly when this is the root cause of an issue.

Really good idea on returning the exception error. Will relay.
