This guide demonstrates how to leverage Mem0 to streamline content writing by applying your unique writing style and preferences using persistent memory.
Integrating Mem0 into your writing workflow helps you:
os.environ["MEM0_API_KEY"] = "your-mem0-api-key" os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-openai-api-key"
client = MemoryClient() openai = OpenAI()
USER_ID = "content_writer" RUN_ID = "smart_editing_session"
</Tab>
<Tab title="Open Source">
Here we use **Mem0 open source** (`Memory`): all local, no API keys needed for memory. Vectors in **Qdrant**, LLM and embeddings via **Ollama**. The **OpenAI** Python SDK calls Ollama's **OpenAI-compatible** `/v1` endpoint for content rewriting.
### Installation
Install the required dependencies:
```bash
pip install mem0ai qdrant-client openai ollama
Then start Qdrant and pull the Ollama models:
docker run -d -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant
ollama pull llama3.1:latest
ollama pull nomic-embed-text:latest
<Note>You can swap nomic-embed-text for any Ollama-supported embedding model (e.g., snowflake-arctic-embed, mxbai-embed-large). Just update the model in the embedder config and set embedding_model_dims in the Qdrant config to match the model's output dimensions (768 for nomic-embed-text).</Note>
