​
Type Alias MemoryType

The MemoryType defines which memory engine is targeted during storage or retrieval. You will frequently use these values when filtering search results or specifying where a new memory should be saved.
ValueDescription
'episodic'Time-based memory representing specific events or conversation history.
'semantic'Fact-based memory representing distilled knowledge and persistent traits.

​
Type Alias MemoryProducerRole

The MemoryProducerRole identifies the entity responsible for creating a memory entry. This is used by the AI to distinguish between human input, agent responses, and system-level events.
ValueDescription
'user'Information or messages provided by the human user.
'assistant'Responses or actions generated by the AI assistant.
'system'Automated entries, instructions, or environmental context.

​
Technical Implementation

In TypeScript, these are defined as string literal unions. You can import them directly to ensure your variables match the expected API values: 
import { MemoryType, MemoryProducerRole } from '@memmachine/client';

// Example: Specifying memory storage types
const typesToStore: MemoryType[] = ['episodic', 'semantic'];

// Example: Categorizing a new memory
const role: MemoryProducerRole = 'assistant';
