Generative Agents in LangChain#
This notebook implements a generative agent based on the paper Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior by Park, et. al.
In it, we leverage a time-weighted Memory object backed by a LangChain Retriever.
# Use termcolor to make it easy to colorize the outputs.
!pip install termcolor > /dev/null
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)

USER_NAME = "Person A" # The name you want to use when interviewing the agent.
LLM = ChatOpenAI(max_tokens=1500) # Can be any LLM you want.
Generative Agent Memory Components#
This tutorial highlights the memory of generative agents and its impact on their behavior. The memory varies from standard LangChain Chat memory in two aspects:
Memory Formation
Generative Agents have extended memories, stored in a single stream:
Observations - from dialogues or interactions with the virtual world, about self or others
Reflections - resurfaced and summarized core memories
Memory Recall
Memories are retrieved using a weighted sum of salience, recency, and importance.
