Letta AI
AI agent framework with long-term memory, enabling stateful AI assistants that remember conversations and context.
What is Letta AI?
AI Agents with Long-Term Memory
Letta AI (formerly MemGPT) is an open-source AI agent framework built around the concept of persistent, long-term memory for AI assistants. Standard LLMs forget everything between conversations, limiting their usefulness as personal assistants or long-running agents. Letta solves this with a memory architecture that enables agents to remember past interactions, learn about users over time, and maintain context across unlimited conversation length.
The Memory Architecture
Letta implements a tiered memory system inspired by operating system memory management. Agents maintain a working memory of current context, a recall memory of past conversation history that can be searched and retrieved, and an archival memory for long-term storage of facts and preferences. The agent autonomously manages what to remember, forget, and retrieve — creating a genuinely stateful AI experience.
- Persistent memory across conversations and sessions
- Tiered memory: working, recall, and archival storage
- Autonomous memory management by the agent
- Tool and function calling support for agentic tasks
- Open-source with self-hosting and cloud options
For Agentic AI Applications
Developers building long-running AI assistants, personal AI companions, and autonomous agents that need to operate over extended time horizons use Letta as their agent foundation. The framework is particularly well-suited for customer service agents that need to remember customer preferences, personal AI assistants that improve over time, and research agents running multi-day investigations.
