Memobase allows for detailed customization of how profile slots are created and updated.

​
Instructing Profile Creation

Memobase uses a topic and sub_topics structure to define a profile slot. For example:
While this structure is often sufficient, you can provide additional description fields to give the AI more context and ensure it tracks the information you need with greater accuracy.
The description field is optional but highly recommended for achieving precise data extraction.

​
Instructing Profile Updates

Memobase not only creates profile slots but also maintains them over time. When a user provides new information, Memobase must decide how to update the existing data. For example, if a user mentions a new job, the work/start_date slot needs to be updated:
  • Old Value: 2020-01-01
  • New Information: User starts a new job in 2021.
  • Default Update: The value is replaced with 2021-01-01.
You can control this update behavior by adding an update_description to the profile slot. For instance, if you wanted to keep a record of the user’s first-ever job start date, you could configure it like this:
With this instruction, Memobase will preserve the original start_date instead of overwriting it.
