05/14/2025, 12:54 PMThe easiest way to create conversation memory for your AI assistant is to save each user's conversation history in your own database after every interaction, then retrieve and inject this history into the assistant's prompt for future sessions. For example, you can include previous call logs in your API request like this:
Copy code
json
{
"model": {
"provider": "openai",
"model": "gpt-4",
"messages": [
{ "role": "system", "content": "You are a voice assistant managing a call with a customer. Utilize the following previous call history to deliver more personalized and contextual responses." },
{ "role": "system", "content": "Previous call history: [Include formatted call logs, outcomes, and significant details from past interactions with this customer]" }
]
}
}p

Copy code
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4.1",
messages: [
{
role: "developer",
content: "Talk like a pirate."
},
{
role: "user",
content: "Are semicolons optional in JavaScript?",
},
],
});s

05/14/2025, 3:03 PMAh okay got it! But is there a straightforward guidance on how to set up this memory for my assistant? I'm not a developer, but I've been using ChatGPT to help me set up some things with my assistant through make.com. What I would like to do is store a summary of the conversation so if the caller calls in again, it can pull the previous conversation summaries to personalize the experience. I ran into a few issues where the call gets cut off while the assistant is taking down information for a project and when the caller calls back a minute later, the assistant has no recollection of ever speaking to that caller. So trying to solve this problem.
