Memory
AI applications need memory to share context across multiple interactions. In LangGraph, you can add two types of memory:
- Add short-term memory as a part of your agent’s state to enable multi-turn conversations.
- Add long-term memory to store user-specific or application-level data across sessions.
Add short-term memory
Short-term memory (thread-level persistence) enables agents to track multi-turn conversations. To add short-term memory:
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import InMemorySaver # [!code highlight]
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
checkpointer = InMemorySaver() # [!code highlight]
builder = StateGraph(...)
graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer) # [!code highlight]
graph.invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi! i am Bob"}]},
{"configurable": {"thread_id": "1"}}, # [!code highlight]
)Use in production
In production, use a checkpointer backed by a database:
from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver
DB_URI = "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable"
with PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(DB_URI) as checkpointer: # [!code highlight]
builder = StateGraph(...)
graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer) # [!code highlight]Example: using Postgres checkpointer
pip install -U "psycopg[binary,pool]" langgraph langgraph-checkpoint-postgresTip
You need to call
checkpointer.setup()the first time you’re using Postgres checkpointer

### Example: using Oracle checkpointerpip install -U langgraph langgraph-oracledb
> **Note**
>
> **Setup**
> To use the [Oracle checkpointer](https://pypi.org/project/langgraph-oracledb/), you will need an Oracle AI Database instance. A local container (for example `gvenzl/oracle-free:23-slim`) or an Oracle Autonomous Database in OCI both work.
> **Tip**
>
> You need to call `checkpointer.setup()` the first time you're using the Oracle checkpointer.

### Use in subgraphs
If your graph contains [subgraphs](/v1/langgraph/use-subgraphs), you only need to provide the checkpointer when compiling the parent graph. LangGraph will automatically propagate the checkpointer to the child subgraphs.
```python
from langgraph.graph import START, StateGraph
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import InMemorySaver
from typing import TypedDict
class State(TypedDict):
foo: str
# Subgraph
def subgraph_node_1(state: State):
return {"foo": state["foo"] + "bar"}
subgraph_builder = StateGraph(State)
subgraph_builder.add_node(subgraph_node_1)
subgraph_builder.add_edge(START, "subgraph_node_1")
subgraph = subgraph_builder.compile() # [!code highlight]
# Parent graph
builder = StateGraph(State)
builder.add_node("node_1", subgraph) # [!code highlight]
builder.add_edge(START, "node_1")
checkpointer = InMemorySaver()
graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer) # [!code highlight]You can configure subgraph-specific checkpointing behavior. See subgraph persistence for details on persistence levels including interrupt support and stateful continuations.
subgraph_builder = StateGraph(...)
subgraph = subgraph_builder.compile(checkpointer=True) # [!code highlight]Add long-term memory
Use long-term memory to store user-specific or application-specific data across conversations.
from langgraph.store.memory import InMemoryStore # [!code highlight]
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
store = InMemoryStore() # [!code highlight]
builder = StateGraph(...)
graph = builder.compile(store=store) # [!code highlight]Access the store inside nodes
Once you compile a graph with a store, LangGraph automatically injects the store into your node functions. The recommended way to access the store is through the Runtime object.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from langgraph.runtime import Runtime
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState, START
from langchain_core.utils.uuid import uuid7
@dataclass
class Context:
user_id: str
async def call_model(state: MessagesState, runtime: Runtime[Context]): # [!code highlight]
user_id = runtime.context.user_id # [!code highlight]
namespace = (user_id, "memories")
# Search for relevant memories
memories = await runtime.store.asearch( # [!code highlight]
namespace, query=state["messages"][-1].content, limit=3
)
info = "\n".join([d.value["data"] for d in memories])
# ... Use memories in model call
# Store a new memory
await runtime.store.aput( # [!code highlight]
namespace, str(uuid7()), {"data": "User prefers dark mode"}
)
builder = StateGraph(MessagesState, context_schema=Context) # [!code highlight]
builder.add_node(call_model)
builder.add_edge(START, "call_model")
graph = builder.compile(store=store)
# Pass context at invocation time
graph.invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}]},
{"configurable": {"thread_id": "1"}},
context=Context(user_id="1"), # [!code highlight]
)Use in production
In production, use a store backed by a database:

DB_URI = "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable"

pip install -U langgraph langgraph-oracledb langchain-openaiNote
Setup To use the Oracle store, you will need an Oracle AI Database instance — the vector index used for semantic
searchrequires Oracle AI Vector Search.
Tip
You need to call
store.setup()andcheckpointer.setup()the first time you’re using the Oracle store and checkpointer.

With short-term memory enabled, long conversations can exceed the LLM’s context window. Common solutions are:
- Trim messages: Remove first or last N messages (before calling LLM)
- Delete messages from LangGraph state permanently
- Summarize messages: Summarize earlier messages in the history and replace them with a summary
- Manage checkpoints to store and retrieve message history
- Custom strategies (e.g., message filtering, etc.)
This allows the agent to keep track of the conversation without exceeding the LLM’s context window.
Trim messages
Most LLMs have a maximum supported context window (denominated in tokens). One way to decide when to truncate messages is to count the tokens in the message history and truncate whenever it approaches that limit. If you’re using LangChain, you can use the trim messages utility and specify the number of tokens to keep from the list, as well as the strategy (e.g., keep the last max_tokens) to use for handling the boundary.
To trim message history, use the trim_messages function:
from langchain_core.messages.utils import ( # [!code highlight]
trim_messages, # [!code highlight]
count_tokens_approximately # [!code highlight]
) # [!code highlight]
def call_model(state: MessagesState):
messages = trim_messages( # [!code highlight]
state["messages"],
strategy="last",
token_counter=count_tokens_approximately,
max_tokens=128,
start_on="human",
end_on=("human", "tool"),
)
response = model.invoke(messages)
return {"messages": [response]}
builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
builder.add_node(call_model)
...Full example: trim messages

Your name is Bob, as you mentioned when you first introduced yourself.Delete messages
You can delete messages from the graph state to manage the message history. This is useful when you want to remove specific messages or clear the entire message history.
To delete messages from the graph state, you can use the RemoveMessage. For RemoveMessage to work, you need to use a state key with add_messages reducer, like MessagesState.
To remove specific messages:
from langchain.messages import RemoveMessage # [!code highlight]
def delete_messages(state):
messages = state["messages"]
if len(messages) > 2:
# remove the earliest two messages
return {"messages": [RemoveMessage(id=m.id) for m in messages[:2]]} # [!code highlight]To remove all messages:
from langgraph.graph.message import REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES # [!code highlight]
def delete_messages(state):
return {"messages": [RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)]} # [!code highlight]Warning
When deleting messages, make sure that the resulting message history is valid. Check the limitations of the LLM provider you’re using. For example:
- Some providers expect message history to start with a
usermessage- Most providers require
assistantmessages with tool calls to be followed by correspondingtoolresult messages.
Full example: delete messages
from langchain.messages import RemoveMessage # [!code highlight]
def delete_messages(state):
messages = state["messages"]
if len(messages) > 2:
# remove the earliest two messages
return {"messages": [RemoveMessage(id=m.id) for m in messages[:2]]} # [!code highlight]
def call_model(state: MessagesState):
response = model.invoke(state["messages"])
return {"messages": response}
builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
builder.add_sequence([call_model, delete_messages])
builder.add_edge(START, "call_model")

app = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)

stream = app.stream_events(

print([(message.type, message.content) for message in snapshot["messages"]])

[('human', "hi! I'm bob"), ('ai', 'Hi Bob! How are you doing today? Is there anything I can help you with?')]
[('human', "hi! I'm bob"), ('ai', 'Hi Bob! How are you doing today? Is there anything I can help you with?'), ('human', "what's my name?")]

[('human', "what's my name?"), ('ai', 'Your name is Bob.')]Summarize messages
The problem with trimming or removing messages, as shown above, is that you may lose information from culling of the message queue. Because of this, some applications benefit from a more sophisticated approach of summarizing the message history using a chat model.
Prompting and orchestration logic can be used to summarize the message history. For example, in LangGraph you can extend the MessagesState to include a summary key:
from langgraph.graph import MessagesState
class State(MessagesState):
summary: strThen, you can generate a summary of the chat history, using any existing summary as context for the next summary. This summarize_conversation node can be called after some number of messages have accumulated in the messages state key.
def summarize_conversation(state: State):
# First, we get any existing summary
summary = state.get("summary", "")
# Create our summarization prompt
if summary:
# A summary already exists
summary_message = (
f"This is a summary of the conversation to date: {summary}\n\n"
"Extend the summary by taking into account the new messages above:"
)
else:
summary_message = "Create a summary of the conversation above:"
# Add prompt to our history
messages = state["messages"] + [HumanMessage(content=summary_message)]
response = model.invoke(messages)
# Delete all but the 2 most recent messages
delete_messages = [RemoveMessage(id=m.id) for m in state["messages"][:-2]]
return {"summary": response.content, "messages": delete_messages}Full example: summarize messages

================================== Ai Message ==================================
From our conversation, I can see that you introduced yourself as Bob. That's the name you shared with me when we began talking.
Summary: In this conversation, I was introduced to Bob, who then asked me to write a poem about cats. I composed a poem titled "The Mystery of Cats" that captured cats' graceful movements, independent nature, and their special relationship with humans. Bob then requested a similar poem about dogs, so I wrote "The Joy of Dogs," which highlighted dogs' loyalty, enthusiasm, and loving companionship. Both poems were written in a similar style but emphasized the distinct characteristics that make each pet special.Manage checkpoints

Delete all checkpoints for a thread
thread_id = "1"
checkpointer.delete_thread(thread_id)Database management
If you are using any database-backed persistence implementation (such as Postgres, Redis, or Oracle) to store short and/or long-term memory, you will need to run migrations to set up the required schema before you can use it with your database.
By convention, most database-specific libraries define a setup() method on the checkpointer or store instance that runs the required migrations. However, you should check with your specific implementation of BaseCheckpointSaver or BaseStore to confirm the exact method name and usage.
We recommend running migrations as a dedicated deployment step, or you can ensure they’re run as part of server startup.
