# Agent Memory

> Memory gives an Agent the ability to recall information about the user.

Memory is a part of the Agent's context that helps it provide the best, most personalized response.

<Tip>
  If the user tells the Agent they like to ski, then future responses can reference this information to provide a more personalized experience.
</Tip>

## User Memories

Here's a simple example of using Memory in an Agent.

```python memory_demo.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.db.postgres import PostgresDb
from rich.pretty import pprint

user_id = "ava"

db_url = "postgresql+psycopg://ai:ai@localhost:5532/ai"

db = PostgresDb(
  db_url=db_url,
  memory_table="user_memories",  # Optionally specify a table name for the memories
)


# Initialize Agent
memory_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    db=db,
    # Give the Agent the ability to update memories
    enable_agentic_memory=True,
    # OR - Run the MemoryManager automatically after each response
    update_memory_on_run=True,
    markdown=True,
)

db.clear_memories()

memory_agent.print_response(
    "My name is Ava and I like to ski.",
    user_id=user_id,
    stream=True,
)
print("Memories about Ava:")
pprint(memory_agent.get_user_memories(user_id=user_id))

memory_agent.print_response(
    "I live in san francisco, where should i move within a 4 hour drive?",
    user_id=user_id,
    stream=True,
)
print("Memories about Ava:")
pprint(memory_agent.get_user_memories(user_id=user_id))
```

<Tip>
  `enable_agentic_memory=True` gives the Agent a tool to manage memories of the
  user, this tool passes the task to the `MemoryManager` class. You may also set
  `update_memory_on_run=True` which always runs the `MemoryManager` after each
  user message.
