What is the value of store_core_memory ? #2

I tried the bot, but I didn’t see it use the store_core_memory tool at all. What is its purpose?

The core memories are "always available" vs. being "contextually available". Depending on the prompt & LLM, the memgpt agent may or may not prefer a specific type of memory.

Basically, the core memories are just a simple list of strings for a user (and you could extend this idea to be the agent's own personality traits).

The semantic memories are retrieved based on some relevance criteria, and the way we interface this to the agent may lead it to prefer it
