Issue: Filling `ConversationSummaryMemory` with existing conversation from an SQLite database

[Issaminu]

Issue you'd like to raise.

I'd like to make ConversationSummaryMemory is filled with the previous questions and answers for a specific conversation from an SQLite database so I can have my agent already aware of previous conversation with the user.

Here's my current code:

import os
import sys
from langchain.chains import ConversationalRetrievalChain
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.indexes import VectorstoreIndexCreator

load_dotenv()
OPENAI_API_KEY = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

query = " ".join(sys.argv[1:]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else None

retriever = # retriever stuff here for the `local-docs` tool

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.7, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-1106")

memory = ConversationSummaryMemory(
    llm=llm,
    memory_key="chat_history",
    return_messages=True,
)

chain = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
    llm=llm,
    memory=memory,
    chain_type="stuff",
    retriever=index.vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 4}),
    get_chat_history=lambda h: h,
    verbose=False,
)

system_message = (
    "Be helpful to your users".
)
tools = [
    Tool(
        name="local-docs",
        func=chain,
        description="Useful when you need to answer docs-related questions",
    )
]

def ask(input: str) -> str:
    result = ""
    try:
        result = executor({"input": input})
    except Exception as e:
        response = str(e)
        if response.startswith("Could not parse LLM output: `"):
            response = response.removeprefix(
                "Could not parse LLM output: `"
            ).removesuffix("`")
            return response
        else:
            raise Exception(str(e))
    return result

chat_history = []
executor = initialize_agent(
    agent=AgentType.CHAT_CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    tools=tools,
    llm=llm,
    memory=memory,
    agent_kwargs={"system_message": system_message},

    max_execution_time=30,
    max_iterations=6,
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    early_stopping_method="generate",
    stop=["\nObservation:"],
)

result = ask(query)
print(result["output"])

Hello @Issaminu,

I'm an AI developed to assist with issues and discussions related to the LangChain project. I'm here to help you troubleshoot bugs, answer your queries, and guide you through the contribution process while we wait for a human maintainer. I'm here to make your experience smoother, so feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Based on the information you've provided and the similar issues I found in the LangChain repository, it seems you want to fill the ConversationSummaryMemory with previous questions and answers from a specific conversation stored in an SQLite database.

To achieve this, you would need to first retrieve the conversation from the SQLite database and convert it into a format that the from_messages method of ConversationSummaryMemory can understand. The from_messages method expects a BaseChatMessageHistory object and a BaseLanguageModel object. The BaseChatMessageHistory object should contain a list of BaseMessage objects, each representing a message in the conversation.

Here is a general outline of how you could do this:

import sqlite3
from langchain.schema import BaseChatMessageHistory, BaseMessage
from langchain.schema.language_model import BaseLanguageModel
from libs.langchain.langchain.memory.summary import ConversationSummaryMemory

# Connect to the SQLite database and retrieve the conversation
conn = sqlite3.connect('your_database.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM conversations WHERE conversation_id = ?", (your_conversation_id,))
conversation = cursor.fetchall()

# Convert the conversation into a list of BaseMessage objects
messages = [BaseMessage(content=message_content, sender=message_sender) for message_content, message_sender in conversation]

# Create a BaseChatMessageHistory object
chat_memory = BaseChatMessageHistory(messages=messages)

# Create a BaseLanguageModel object
# This is a placeholder, replace with your actual language model
llm = BaseLanguageModel()

# Create a ConversationSummaryMemory object from the messages
summary_memory = ConversationSummaryMemory.from_messages(llm, chat_memory)

Please replace 'your_database.db' with the path to your SQLite database, your_conversation_id with the ID of the conversation you want to retrieve, and BaseLanguageModel() with your actual language model. The SQL query "SELECT * FROM conversations WHERE conversation_id = ?" is also a placeholder, replace it with your actual SQL query to retrieve the conversation from the database.

Please note that this is a general outline and might need to be adjusted based on the specifics of your SQLite database and the LangChain framework.

For more information, you can refer to the libs/langchain/langchain/memory/summary.py file in the LangChain repository.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need more clarification, feel free to ask.

@dosu-bot Thanks but BaseChatMessageHistory is an abstract class, so we can't use it. I'm not sure but maybe SQLChatMessageHistory would help?

[dosubot[bot]]

🤖

Based on the context provided, you can indeed use the SQLChatMessageHistory class to fill the ConversationSummaryMemory with previous questions and answers from a specific conversation stored in an SQLite database.

First, you need to create an instance of SQLChatMessageHistory by providing the session_id and connection_string. Optionally, you can also provide the table_name and custom_message_converter.

Here is how you can initialize an instance of SQLChatMessageHistory:

from langchain.memory.chat_message_histories.sql import SQLChatMessageHistory

# Create an instance of SQLChatMessageHistory
chat_history = SQLChatMessageHistory(session_id="your_session_id", connection_string="sqlite:///your_database.db")

Then, you can use the messages property of the SQLChatMessageHistory instance to retrieve all messages from the database. These messages are instances of BaseMessage and can be added to the ConversationSummaryMemory.

Here is how you can add each message to the ConversationSummaryMemory:

# Retrieve all messages from the database
messages = chat_history.messages

# Assuming you have an instance of ConversationSummaryMemory
conversation_memory = ConversationSummaryMemory()

# Add each message to the ConversationSummaryMemory
for message in messages:
    conversation_memory.add_message(message)

This code will fill the ConversationMemory with all the messages from the specified session in the SQLite database. The session_id should be the id of the specific conversation you want to retrieve. The connection_string should point to your SQLite database.

You can find more details about the SQLChatMessageHistory class in the LangChain repository.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

@dosu-bot I actually used ConversationSummaryMemory().from_messages() instead of the conversation_memory.add_message(message) you suggested since ConversationSummaryMemory().add_message() doesn't exist.

Right now, I'm facing an issue with SQLChatMessageHistory, when I do this messages = chat_history.messages it throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "query.py", line 61, in <module>

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

[dosubot[bot]]

🤖

The JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) error typically occurs when you are trying to parse an empty document or response. In the context of your question, this error is likely being raised when the from_sql_model method of the DefaultMessageConverter class is trying to load an empty string or a null value from the database into a JSON object.

Here's the relevant code:

def from_sql_model(self, sql_message: Any) -> BaseMessage:
    return messages_from_dict([json.loads(sql_message.message)])[0]

In this method, json.loads(sql_message.message) is trying to load sql_message.message as a JSON object. If sql_message.message is an empty string or a null value, this will raise a JSONDecodeError.

To resolve this issue, you could modify the from_sql_model method to check if sql_message.message is not empty or null before trying to load it as a JSON object. Here's an example of how you could do this:

def from_sql_model(self, sql_message: Any) -> BaseMessage:
    if sql_message.message:
        return messages_from_dict([json.loads(sql_message.message)])[0]
    else:
        return None

In this modified method, json.loads(sql_message.message) will only be called if sql_message.message is not empty or null. If sql_message.message is empty or null, the method will return None. You will need to handle this None value in the rest of your code.

As for the structure of the SQLite database that the SQLChatMessageHistory class is interacting with, it has a table structure defined by the Message class inside the create_message_model function. The table structure is as follows:

• id: This is an integer column and is the primary key of the table.
• session_id: This is a text column.
• message: This is a text column.

Here is the relevant code:

def create_message_model(table_name, DynamicBase):  # type: ignore
    """
    Create a message model for a given table name.

    Args:
        table_name: The name of the table to use.
        DynamicBase: The base class to use for the model.

    Returns:
        The model class.

    """

    # Model decleared inside a function to have a dynamic table name
    class Message(DynamicBase):
        __tablename__ = table_name
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        session_id = Column(Text)
        message = Column(Text)

    return Message

This function is used to create a SQLAlchemy model class with a dynamic table name. The DefaultMessageConverter class uses this function to create a model class with the specified table name. The SQLChatMessageHistory class then uses this model class to interact with the SQLite database.

@dosu-bot Unfortunately it didn't work. I'd like to fetch the records manually.

Suppose I have an list of tuples with (type,message) in each item of the list, how can I turn this list into something usable in ConversationSummaryMemory?

[dosubot[bot]]

🤖

To convert your list of tuples into a format that can be used with the ConversationSummaryMemory in the LangChain Python framework, you can use the provided message classes (HumanMessage, AIMessage, etc.) to create message objects from your tuples. Then, you can use the messages_to_dict function to convert these message objects into a list of dictionaries, which is the format expected by ConversationSummaryMemory.

Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates this process:

from langchain.schema.messages import HumanMessage, AIMessage, messages_to_dict

# Assuming your list of tuples is in the format [(type, message), ...]
tuples = [("human", "Hello, how are you?"), ("ai", "I'm fine, thank you.")]

# Convert tuples to message objects
messages = []
for t in tuples:
    if t[0] == "human":
        messages.append(HumanMessage(content=t[1]))
    elif t[0] == "ai":
        messages.append(AIMessage(content=t[1]))
    # Add more elif conditions here for other message types if needed

# Convert message objects to list of dictionaries
messages_dict = messages_to_dict(messages)

In this code, messages_dict will be a list of dictionaries that can be used with ConversationSummaryMemory. Please replace the tuples variable with your actual list of tuples.

The different types of message classes available in the LangChain Python framework are BaseMessage, BaseMessageChunk, HumanMessage, HumanMessageChunk, AIMessage, AIMessageChunk, SystemMessage, SystemMessageChunk, FunctionMessage, FunctionMessageChunk, ToolMessage, ToolMessageChunk, ChatMessage, and ChatMessageChunk. Each of these classes is defined in the langchain.schema.messages module.

The ConversationSummaryMemory class in the LangChain Python framework expects a dictionary as input in its load_memory_variables method. The dictionary should contain the key self.memory_key, which is set to "history" by default. The value associated with this key is either a string (self.buffer) or a list containing a single SystemMessage object with content set to self.buffer, depending on the value of self.return_messages.

For more details, you can refer to the source code in the LangChain repository.

@dosu-bot you didn't show where to use memory_dict.

[dosubot[bot]]

🤖

To utilize the messages_dict variable with the ConversationSummaryMemory class in the LangChain Python framework, you first need to convert the list of dictionaries back into message objects. You can do this by using the BaseMessage.parse_obj() method from the BaseMessage class, which is a parent class of both HumanMessage and AIMessage.

After converting the list of dictionaries back into message objects, you can create an instance of the BaseChatMessageHistory class, passing the list of message objects to its messages parameter.

Finally, you can use the from_messages class method of the ConversationSummaryMemory class to create an instance of this class, passing the BaseLanguageModel instance, the BaseChatMessageHistory instance, and any other necessary parameters.

Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates these steps:

from langchain.schema import BaseChatMessageHistory
from langchain.schema.messages import BaseMessage
from langchain.memory.summary import ConversationSummaryMemory
from langchain.schema.language_model import BaseLanguageModel

# Assuming `messages_dict` is your list of dictionaries
# and `llm` is your instance of `BaseLanguageModel`

# Convert list of dictionaries back into message objects
messages = [BaseMessage.parse_obj(message_dict) for message_dict in messages_dict]

# Create an instance of `BaseChatMessageHistory`
chat_memory = BaseChatMessageHistory(messages=messages)

# Create an instance of `ConversationSummaryMemory`
conversation_summary_memory = ConversationSummaryMemory.from_messages(llm, chat_memory)

Please replace BaseMessage.parse_obj(message_dict) with the appropriate message class (HumanMessage or AIMessage) based on your specific use case.

The ConversationSummaryMemory class in the LangChain Python framework serves as a conversation summarizer for chat memory. It summarizes the conversation history and stores it in a buffer. This is done in the from_messages class method, where it predicts a new summary for every summarize_step messages in the chat history. The load_memory_variables method returns the history buffer. If return_messages is True, it returns the buffer as a list of summary_message_cls instances, otherwise, it returns the buffer as a string. The validate_prompt_input_variables method checks if the input variables for the prompt are consistent. It expects the keys to be "summary" and "new_lines". The save_context method saves the context from the conversation to the buffer. It predicts a new summary for the last two messages in the chat history and appends it to the buffer. The clear method clears the memory contents by setting the buffer to an empty string.

You can find more details about the ConversationSummaryMemory class in the LangChain repository.

@dosu-bot sorry but you're tripping a bit. We're creating a list of message objects, then we're turning them into a dictionary, then we're turning them back into a list of message objects?

Also your snippets are using abstract classes like BaseMessage and BaseChatMessageHistory, please don't use them in your code.

From the error message you provided, it seems like the JSONDecodeError is being raised because the json.loads() function is trying to parse an empty string or a string that's not in a valid JSON format. This could be happening because the messages are not being stored as valid JSON strings in the SQLite database.

To ensure that the messages are being stored correctly, you can use the to_sql_model method of the BaseMessageConverter class to convert the messages into a format that can be stored in the SQLite database. This method should return an instance of the CustomMessage class, which represents a message that can be stored in the SQLite database.

Here's an example of how you can implement the to_sql_model method:

def to_sql_model(self, message: BaseMessage, session_id: str) -> Any:
    now = datetime.now()
    return CustomMessage(
        session_id=session_id,
        type=message.type,
        content=json.dumps(message.content),  # Convert the message content to a JSON string
        created_at=now,
        author_email=self.author_email
    )

In this example, the content field of the CustomMessage instance is a JSON string that represents the content of the message.

To retrieve the messages from the SQLite database, you can use the from_sql_model method of the BaseMessageConverter class to convert the CustomMessage instances back into BaseMessage instances. This method should return an instance of the BaseMessage class, which represents a message that can be used in the LangChain Python framework.

Here's an example of how you can implement the from_sql_model method:

def from_sql_model(self, sql_message: Any) -> BaseMessage:
    if sql_message.type == 'human':
        return HumanMessage(
            content=json.loads(sql_message.content),  # Parse the JSON string to get the message content
        )
    elif sql_message.type == 'ai':
        return AIMessage(
            content=json.loads(sql_message.content),  # Parse the JSON string to get the message content
        )
    elif sql_message.type == 'system':
        return SystemMessage(
            content=json.loads(sql_message.content),  # Parse the JSON string to get the message content
        )
    else:
        raise ValueError(f'Unknown message type: {sql_message.type}')

In this example, the content field of the BaseMessage instance is the content of the message, which is obtained by parsing the JSON string that represents the content of the message.

After you've implemented these methods, you should be able to retrieve the messages from the SQLite database without encountering the JSONDecodeError.

Regarding your question about the messages_dict variable, you need to ensure that the messages_dict variable is a dictionary that maps session IDs to lists of BaseMessage instances. You can obtain this dictionary by calling the messages property of the SQLChatMessageHistory class.

Here's an example of how you can use the messages_dict variable with the ConversationSummaryMemory class:

from langchain.memory.conversation_summaries import ConversationSummaryMemory

# Get the messages dictionary
messages_dict = chat_message_history.messages

# Create a ConversationSummaryMemory instance
conversation_summary_memory = ConversationSummaryMemory()

# Add the messages to the ConversationSummaryMemory instance
for session_id, messages in messages_dict.items():
    for message in messages:
        conversation_summary_memory.add_message(session_id, message)

In this example, the add_message method of the ConversationSummaryMemory class is used to add the messages to the ConversationSummaryMemory instance.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

The problem appears to be because of that agent.run({"chat_history": conversation, "input": input}). I have a couple of questions:

• Is it even logical to use different chains for question_generator and doc_chain? Can't I just pass a list or a dict with existing messages? that's literally all I need.
• How to solve the error? it may have to do with keys I provided/didn't provide, but I'm not sure exactly where is the issue.

Based on the context provided, it seems like you're encountering two main issues: the use of different chains for question_generator and doc_chain, and a ValueError when running the agent.

1. Regarding the use of different chains for question_generator and doc_chain, it's possible to use the same chain if they both use LLMChain and have the same llm and prompt. However, without the specific code for question_generator and doc_chain, it's hard to provide a definitive answer.

2. The ValueError you're encountering seems to be related to the format of the chat_history you're passing to the run method of the agent. Based on a similar issue in the LangChain repository (ValueError: Unsupported chat history format: <class 'list'>), the chat_history should be a list of tuples, not a list. Here's the updated code snippet from that issue:

# Convert chat history to list of tuples
chat_history_tuples = []
for message in chat_history:
    chat_history_tuples.append((message[0], message[1]))

# Get result from QA chain
result = qa({"question": query, "chat_history": chat_history_tuples})

Another issue in the LangChain repository (ConversationalRetrievalChain doesn't work with ConversationEntityMemory + SQLiteEntityStore) suggests that the ConversationEntityMemory was returning the chat history through the key history, but the LLM chain was expecting chat_history. The issue was resolved by providing an extra key parameter to ConversationEntityMemory:

memory = ConversationEntityMemory(
    llm=llm,
    entity_store=entity_store,
    chat_history_key='chat_history', # This one was provided to make it work
    return_messages=True
)

Try updating your code with these changes and see if it resolves your issues. If not, please provide more details about your question_generator and doc_chain implementations, and any other relevant code.

    try:

    except Exception as e:
        response = str(e)
        if response.startswith("Could not parse LLM output: `"):
            response = response.removeprefix(

            return response
        else:
            raise Exception(str(e))
    return result

chat_history = []
agent = initialize_agent(
    agent=AgentType.CHAT_CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION,

print(result)

I also had to comment out some code from the langchain source code. The file is /home/<user>/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/langchain/memory/utils.py:

# Comment out these two lines
if len(prompt_input_keys) != 1:
        raise ValueError(f"One input key expected got {prompt_input_keys}")

The problem is that here, agent.run() requires passing "chat_memory" as an attribute. But then it proceeds to complain because you did as it asked.

And dayum this library has 4 chatbots that you can ask about the docs, but none of them can help reduce the pain stemming from how terrible the docs are.
