Zep Retriever

This example shows how to use the Zep Retriever in a retrieval chain to retrieve documents from Zep memory store.

Setup

npm i @getzep/zep-js @langchain/community

Usage

import { ZepRetriever } from "@langchain/community/retrievers/zep";
import { ZepMemory } from "@langchain/community/memory/zep";
import { Memory as MemoryModel, Message } from "@getzep/zep-js";
import { randomUUID } from "crypto";

function sleep(ms: number) {
// eslint-disable-next-line no-promise-executor-return
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

export const run = async () => {
const zepConfig = {
url: process.env.ZEP_URL || "http://localhost:8000",
sessionId: `session_${randomUUID()}`,
};

console.log(`Zep Config: ${JSON.stringify(zepConfig)}`);

const memory = new ZepMemory({
baseURL: zepConfig.url,
sessionId: zepConfig.sessionId,
});

// Generate chat messages about traveling to France

await sleep(10000);

// Simple similarity search

// mmr reranking search
const mmrRetriever = new ZepRetriever({
...zepConfig,
topK: 3,
searchType: "mmr",
mmrLambda: 0.5,
});

// Filtered search
const filteredRetriever = new ZepRetriever({

},
});
