How can I use LangChain and a vector database to give my chatbot memory of past conversations?

Asked on Sep 05, 2025

Answer

To give your chatbot memory of past conversations using LangChain and a vector database, you can store conversation embeddings in the database and retrieve them for context in future interactions. LangChain provides tools to generate embeddings from text, which can then be stored and queried in a vector database like Pinecone or Weaviate.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
    from langchain.vectorstores import Pinecone

    # Initialize embeddings and vector store
    embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
    vector_store = Pinecone(index_name="chatbot-memory", embeddings=embeddings)

    # Store a conversation snippet
    conversation_snippet = "User asked about weather updates."
    vector_store.add_texts([conversation_snippet])

    # Retrieve similar past conversations
    query = "Tell me about the weather."
    similar_conversations = vector_store.similarity_search(query)
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

LangChain's OpenAIEmbeddings can convert text into vector representations that capture semantic meaning.
Vector databases like Pinecone are optimized for storing and retrieving high-dimensional vectors efficiently.
By querying the vector database with new user inputs, your chatbot can access relevant past interactions, enhancing context and personalization.
Ensure that your vector database is properly configured and connected to your LangChain application for seamless integration.
