My father is suffering from increasingly bad short term memory. This has been a slow process that has taken many decades. My mom was worried about his memory

My father is suffering from increasingly bad short term memory. This has been a slow process that has taken many decades. My mom was worried about his memory 20 years ago. Now he lives alone and has nobody to help remind him of things. He is highly functional, able to multiply two digit numbers in his head and run heavy equipment on his farm. But he'll ask you the same question, five minutes after he asked it the last time. He'll forget what neighbor just visited him the day before, or whether he called the gas company to refill his propane barrel. I believe that a voice interactive LLM with memory could be extremely helpful to him and to other elderly people. He could use it as a daily log, telling it things that have occurred, and then interrogate it later. In truth, who among us could not benefit from such a system, even in our younger years? This framework looks interesting to use for such a project. Are there any other people working on similar things?

> "voice interactive LLM with memory" Our team has been working really hard on a low-latency voice integration that enables (open source) "advanced voice mode", but with long-term memory! If you're interested definitely hop in our Discord to keep track of dev progress (you can also monitor our docs). It's all OSS of course, so you can use it with any model you want and run it all locally (your agent data stays on device). Once available you can definitely use Letta for this usecase - basically provision a stateful Letta agent for your dad, with instructions / prompting that your dad has memory loss issues, and the agent should be proactive in recording memories (and potentially jogging your dad's memory too). All the memory/state will be stored in postgres, so you can expose it to other tools as well, eg could even collate the memories into a nextjs/mobile app where you dad can browse them. -charles from letta
