Connect your agent to a Firestore collection to give it a persistent memory of your past conversations.

Short answer

How can I give my AI long-term memory?

You can use this connector to write conversation logs to a Firestore collection and pull them back later. This allows your agent to reference previous context instead of starting every chat from scratch. You'll see how the data moves below.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI manages the flow of information between your chat and your database.

MEMORY

Persistent context

The AI writes conversation snippets to Firestore. This creates a searchable history you can revisit later.

RETRIEVAL

Context loading

Your agent pulls specific documents from the collection. It uses this data to remember user preferences or past decisions.

LOGGING

Automated records

Every interaction gets saved as a new document. You get a clean, structured audit trail of everything discussed.

HUMAN

Manual review

You can jump into the Firestore console to inspect or edit the stored logs. The AI cannot delete these records without your permission.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of database management so you don't have to write code.

  1. Save context

    When a conversation reaches a milestone, the AI writes the summary or the full transcript to a specific document path.

    set_document

  2. Fetch history

    To regain context, the AI looks up the relevant document in your collection to see what happened previously.

    get_document

  3. Update state

    The AI can overwrite existing documents to update a user's profile or current session status.

    set_document

  4. Verify data

    The AI checks for the existence of a specific chat ID before attempting to pull history.

    get_document
