How to store agentic memory with your AI

Connect your agent to a Firestore collection to give it a long-term memory. It can now remember who you are and what you like across different chats.

Short answer

How can I give my AI a persistent memory?

You can use this connector to let your AI write data to a specific Firestore collection or pull existing data back out. This allows your agent to track user preferences, session states, or custom profiles. You'll see how the AI manages these records below.

Memory outcomes

Where data lives

What happens when your AI uses Firestore.

PERSISTENCE

Saved user profiles

The AI writes specific user details to a document. This keeps information available even after you close your current chat session.

CONTEXT

Retrieved session states

Your agent pulls existing data from a collection to understand the current context. It uses this to stay consistent with previous interactions.

LOGGING

Activity tracking

The AI can record specific events or preferences as they happen. This builds a structured history of how you interact with the agent.

HUMAN

Manual data review

You remain in control of the database. The AI only interacts with the specific collection you authorize, leaving your other data untouched.

The workflow

What your AI does when data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of database management so you can focus on the conversation.

  1. Capture preference

    When you tell the AI something important about yourself, it prepares a data object to save.

    set_document

  2. Write to Firestore

    The AI sends that data to your specified collection to ensure it is stored permanently.

    set_document

  3. Recall information

    When you ask a follow-up question, the AI looks up the relevant document in your collection.

    get_document

  4. Apply context

    The AI uses the retrieved data to tailor its next response to your specific needs.

    get_document

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete documents in my Firestore database?

    No. The AI only has the ability to set and get documents. It cannot delete or overwrite existing data unless you explicitly tell it to set a new value for that document path.

  • 02

    Can the AI access my entire Google Cloud project?

    No. The AI is restricted to the specific collections and documents you interact with through the provided tools.

  • 03

    Does the AI remember things without me asking it to save them?

    No. The AI only saves information when you give it a command or when its logic triggers a save action based on your instructions.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which collection to use?

    You specify the collection name in your prompt, and the AI uses that path to target the correct location in Firestore.

  • 05

    Can I use this to store large files like images?

    No. This connector is designed for structured document data like text, numbers, and booleans. It is not meant for binary file storage.
