Overview

Summary Memory generates and maintains an evolving summary of key conversation points. It works both alongside conversation memory and independently.

Save vs Load

Standalone Usage

Summary memory works without full session memory. The agent recalls context through generated summaries instead of raw message history:

Combined with Conversation Memory

Use both for detailed context + cost-efficient summaries:

Save History, Load Summary Only

Save full history for auditing but only inject the summary to reduce token usage:

How It Works

  1. After each completed run, the session summary is updated by a sub-agent
  2. Summary includes key points, user preferences, and topics discussed
  3. Summary is injected as context for subsequent interactions (when load_summary_memory is enabled)
  4. Works independently of full_session_memory — can be the sole source of recall
