Token Saving Tips
Avoid including the entire raw conversation history. Use AI to generate a 'Condensed Summary' so you don't waste your Token Limit (Context Window) in new sessions.
Privacy & Security Warning
Ensure all data stored in your database is secure. Never inject sensitive information like passwords or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) directly into the System Prompt if your agent is accessible to the public.
Memory 'Freshness' Strategy
If a user interacts frequently, ensure you only fetch the 3-5 most recent summaries. This prevents the System Prompt from becoming bloated, which can lead to AI hallucinations or confusion.

Use this information to maintain continuity, but prioritize the user's current requests.
Step by Step
How to Implement Cross-Session Memory in an AI Agent
- Open the Dashboard of your preferred AI Agent or LLM orchestration platform.
- Access the 'System Prompt' or 'System Message' section in the agent configuration.
- Create a dynamic placeholder within the System Prompt named {{session_summary}}.
- Configure a database integration (such as Supabase or Pinecone) to store conversation history.
- Set up a 'Post-Processing Step' to run after each session ends to generate a summary using AI.
- Save that summary into the database, mapped to the specific User ID or Session ID.
- Use an API Call or Logic Hook to fetch the latest summary from the database before a new session begins.
- Inject the retrieved summary data into the {{session_summary}} placeholder in the System Prompt.
- Click 'Save' or 'Deploy' to activate the long-term memory functionality.
