Mem0 and OpenAI

Exercise real Mem0 OSS retrieval, Engram capture, and the OpenAI Responses API with developer-owned credentials.

The opt-in examples/mem0-openai project runs the real Mem0 OSS client and OpenAI Responses API. Normal Engram tests never invoke this paid integration.

Requirements

• OPENAI_API_KEY
• An explicit OPENAI_MODEL
• Engram Studio running locally

Run the example

From the Engram repository:

npm install
npm run engram -- init --project mem0-openai
npm run engram -- dev

In another terminal:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
export OPENAI_MODEL="..."
npm run engram -- run -- node examples/mem0-openai/demo.mjs

The script stores San Francisco, applies an Oakland correction, retrieves memories, explicitly reports the records loaded into context, and asks OpenAI for the current city.

Use a developer-owned API key through the environment. Never commit credentials to the example, .engram configuration, or a regression artifact.

The example uses store: false for the OpenAI response and keeps Mem0’s local .mem0 data outside version control.
