Customize User Profile

Memobase is a user profile backend for LLM Apps, that means it tracks the certain slots of user profile and updates them accordingly. By default, Memobase has a built-in user profile slots for general use cases. But it allows you to customize the user profile to control the memory your App want to collect.

​

Locate the config.yaml file of self-hosted Memobase

Memobase uses a config.yaml file to configure the backend. Find your config.yaml file in src/server/api/config.yaml, normally it looks like this:

max_chat_blob_buffer_token_size: 1024
buffer_flush_interval: 3600
llm_api_key: sk-...
best_llm_model: gpt-4o-mini
...

Understand the user profile slots

By default, Memobase has a built-in user profile slots, something like:

- basic_info
    - name
    - gender
    ...
- education
    - school
    - major
    ...

If you like to add more slots, you can add them in the additional_user_profiles field in config.yaml:

additional_user_profiles:
    - topic: "Gaming"
    description: "Track the gaming preferences/achievements of the user."
    sub_topics:
        - name: "FPS"
        description: "Games like CSGO, Valorant, etc."
        - "LOL"
    - topic: "Whatever"
    sub_topics:
        - "whatever 1"
        - "whatever 2"

Memobase will track the additional slots and fill/update the user profile accordingly.
Also, if you like to completely control the slots, you can use overwrite_user_profiles to place your own slots.
