Key Points

  • AI chatbots can be technically fast and capable but fail to remember user context across sessions, forcing users to repeat preferences and history.
  • AmPN is a hosted memory store for AI agents that lets bots remember user data across conversations, aiming to fix this issue.
  • The article includes a practical code example showing how to add a user memory (user_id and content) and then search memories to retrieve past preferences.
  • The service is announced in open beta with a free tier, inviting developers to try it at ampnup.com.

Your AI assistant is technically excellent. Fast responses, smart answers, great personality.

But it has no idea who it's talking to.

Every conversation starts from zero. Users re-explain their preferences, their history, their context — every single time. And they get tired of it.

The fix is simpler than you think:

from ampn import MemoryClient
client = MemoryClient(api_key="your-key", agent_id="my-bot")
client.add(user_id="user_123", content="User prefers formal tone and works in fintech")
memories = client.search(user_id="user_123", query="user preferences")

That's it. Your agent now remembers users across sessions.

AmPN is a hosted memory store for AI agents — open beta, free tier available.
