Implementation of a generative agent that can learn and form new memories over time. It extends the BaseChain class, which is a generic sequence of calls to components, including other chains.

const tommie: GenerativeAgent = new GenerativeAgent(
new OpenAI({ temperature: 0.9, maxTokens: 1500 }),
new GenerativeAgentMemory(
new ChatOpenAI(),
new TimeWeightedVectorStoreRetriever({
vectorStore: new MemoryVectorStore(new OpenAIEmbeddings()),
otherScoreKeys: ["importance"],
k: 15,
}),
{ reflectionThreshold: 8 },
),
{
name: "Tommie",
age: 25,
traits: "anxious, likes design, talkative",
status: "looking for a job",
},
);

await tommie.addMemory(
"Tommie remembers his dog, Bruno, from when he was a kid",
new Date(),
);
const summary = await tommie.getSummary({ forceRefresh: true });
const response = await tommie.generateDialogueResponse(
"USER says Hello Tommie, how are you today?",
);

    A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

    • event: string - Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
    • name: string - The name of the runnable that generated the event.
    • run_id: string - Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the runnable that emitted the event. A child runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
    • tags: string[] - The tags of the runnable that generated the event.
    • metadata: Record<string, any> - The metadata of the runnable that generated the event.
    • data: Record<string, any>

    Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

    ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

    The "on_chain_*" events are the default for Runnables that don't fit one of the above categories.

    In addition to the standard events above, users can also dispatch custom events.

    Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

    A custom event has following format:

    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Attribute | Type | Description                                                                                               |
    +===========+======+===========================================================================================================+
    | name      | str  | A user defined name for the event.                                                                        |
    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | data      | Any  | The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.  |
    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    

    Here's an example:

    import { RunnableLambda } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
    import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch";
    // Use this import for web environments that don't support "async_hooks"
    // and manually pass config to child runs.
    // import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch/web";

    const slowThing = RunnableLambda.from(async (someInput: string) => {
    // Placeholder for some slow operation
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    await dispatchCustomEvent("progress_event", {
    message: "Finished step 1 of 2",
    });
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    return "Done";
    });

    const eventStream = await slowThing.streamEvents("hello world", {
    version: "v2",
    });

    for await (const event of eventStream) {
    if (event.event === "on_custom_event") {
    console.log(event);
