Tutorial Overview

In this tutorial, we explore building an advanced AI agent with agent memory using Cognee and Hugging Face models. We utilize entirely free, open-source tools that work seamlessly in Google Colab and other notebook environments.

We configure Cognee for memory storage and retrieval, integrate a lightweight conversational model for response generation, and create an intelligent agent that learns, reasons, and interacts naturally.

Installation of Essential Libraries

To begin, install the necessary libraries via:

            !pip install cognee transformers torch sentence-transformers accelerate
        

Configuration of Cognee

This setup ensures that we are ready to build, train, and interact with our intelligent agent.

Setup and Code Demonstration

The following code initializes Cognee and sets up our Hugging Face model:

            
                async def setup_cognee():
                   try:
                       await cognee.config.set("EMBEDDING_MODEL", "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
                       await cognee.config.set("EMBEDDING_PROVIDER", "sentence_transformers")
                       print(" Cognee configured successfully")
                       return True
                   except Exception as e:
                       print(f" Cognee config error: {e}")
                       return False
            
        

Class Definition for Hugging Face Model

The following class handles text generation using models such as DialoGPT:

            
                class HuggingFaceLLM:
                    def __init__(self, model_name="microsoft/DialoGPT-medium"):
                        self.device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
                        self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
                        self.model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
                ...
            
        

Building the Advanced AI Agent

We define the core of our system with the AdvancedAIAgent class. This class combines memory, domain-aware learning, and knowledge retrieval:

            
                class AdvancedAIAgent:
                    def __init__(self, agent_name="CogneeAgent"):
                        self.name = agent_name
                        self.memory_initialized = False
                        ...
            
        

Execution and Results

We conclude with a demonstration of the AI agent:

            
                async def main():
                    agent = AdvancedAIAgent("TutorialAgent")
                    await agent.initialize_memory()
                    ...
