# Supermemory OpenAI Python SDK

Memory tools and middleware for OpenAI with Supermemory integration.

This package provides both **automatic memory injection middleware** and **manual memory tools** for the official [OpenAI Python SDK](https://github.com/openai/openai-python) using [Supermemory](https://supermemory.ai) capabilities.

## Installation

Install using uv (recommended):

```bash
uv add supermemory-openai-sdk
```

Or with pip:

```bash
pip install supermemory-openai-sdk
```

For async HTTP support (recommended):

```bash
uv add supermemory-openai-sdk[async]
# or
pip install supermemory-openai-sdk[async]
```

## Quick Start

### Automatic Memory Injection (Recommended)

The easiest way to add memory capabilities to your OpenAI client is using the `with_supermemory()` wrapper:

```python
import asyncio
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from supermemory_openai import with_supermemory, OpenAIMiddlewareOptions

async def main():
    # Create OpenAI client
    openai = AsyncOpenAI(api_key="your-openai-api-key")

    # Wrap with Supermemory middleware
    openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(
        openai,
        container_tag="user-123",  # Unique identifier for user's memories
        options=OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(
            mode="full",        # "profile", "query", or "full"
            verbose=True,       # Enable logging
            add_memory="always" # Automatically save conversations
        )
    )

    # Use normally - memories are automatically injected!
    response = await openai_with_memory.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[
            {"role": "user", "content": "What's my favorite programming language?"}
        ]
    )

    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Using Memory Tools with OpenAI

```python
import asyncio
import openai
from supermemory_openai import SupermemoryTools, execute_memory_tool_calls

async def main():
    # Initialize OpenAI client
    client = openai.AsyncOpenAI(api_key="your-openai-api-key")

    # Initialize Supermemory tools
    tools = SupermemoryTools(
        api_key="your-supermemory-api-key",
        config={"project_id": "my-project"}
    )

    # Chat with memory tools
    response = await client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-5",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are a helpful assistant with access to user memories."
            },
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Remember that I prefer tea over coffee"
            }
        ],
        tools=tools.get_tool_definitions()
    )

    # Handle tool calls if present
    if response.choices[0].message.tool_calls:
        tool_results = await execute_memory_tool_calls(
            api_key="your-supermemory-api-key",
            tool_calls=response.choices[0].message.tool_calls,
            config={"project_id": "my-project"}
        )
        print("Tool results:", tool_results)

    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Sync Client Support

The middleware also works with synchronous OpenAI clients:

```python
from openai import OpenAI
from supermemory_openai import with_supermemory

# Sync client
openai = OpenAI(api_key="your-openai-api-key")
openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(openai, "user-123")

# Works the same way
response = openai_with_memory.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
```

**Event Loop Management**: The middleware properly handles event loops using `asyncio.run()` for sync clients. If called from within an existing async context, it automatically runs in a separate thread to avoid conflicts.

**Background Task Management**: When `add_memory="always"`, memory storage happens in background tasks. Use context managers or manual cleanup to ensure tasks complete:

```python
# Async context manager (recommended)
async with with_supermemory(openai, "user-123") as client:
    response = await client.chat.completions.create(...)
# Background tasks automatically waited for on exit

# Manual cleanup
client = with_supermemory(openai, "user-123")
response = await client.chat.completions.create(...)
await client.wait_for_background_tasks()  # Ensure memory is saved
```

## Middleware Configuration

### Memory Modes

The middleware supports three different modes for memory injection:

#### `"profile"` mode (default)
Injects all static and dynamic profile memories into every request. Best for maintaining consistent user context.

```python
openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(
    openai,
    "user-123",
    OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(mode="profile")
)
```

#### `"query"` mode
Only searches for memories relevant to the current user message. More efficient for large memory stores.

```python
openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(
    openai,
    "user-123",
    OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(mode="query")
)
```

#### `"full"` mode
Combines both profile and query modes - includes all profile memories plus relevant search results.

```python
openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(
    openai,
    "user-123",
    OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(mode="full")
)
```

### Memory Storage

Control when conversations are automatically saved as memories:

```python
# Always save conversations as memories
OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(add_memory="always")

# Never save conversations (default)
OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(add_memory="never")
```

### Complete Configuration Example

```python
from supermemory_openai import with_supermemory, OpenAIMiddlewareOptions

openai_with_memory = with_supermemory(
    openai_client,
    container_tag="user-123",
    options=OpenAIMiddlewareOptions(
        conversation_id="chat-session-456",  # Group messages into conversations
        verbose=True,                        # Enable detailed logging
        mode="full",                         # Use both profile and query
        add_memory="always"                  # Auto-save conversations
    )
)
```

## Manual Memory Tools

### SupermemoryTools Class

```python
from supermemory_openai import SupermemoryTools

tools = SupermemoryTools(
    api_key="your-supermemory-api-key",
    config={
        "project_id": "my-project",  # or use container_tags
        "base_url": "https://custom-endpoint.com",  # optional
    }
)

# Search memories
result = await tools.search_memories(
    information_to_get="user preferences",
    limit=10,
    include_full_docs=True
)

# Add memory
result = await tools.add_memory(
    memory="User prefers tea over coffee"
)

# Fetch specific memory
result = await tools.fetch_memory(
    memory_id="memory-id-here"
)
```

### Individual Tools

```python
from supermemory_openai import (
    create_search_memories_tool,
    create_add_memory_tool,
    create_fetch_memory_tool
)

search_tool = create_search_memories_tool("your-api-key")
add_tool = create_add_memory_tool("your-api-key")
fetch_tool = create_fetch_memory_tool("your-api-key")
```

### Function Calling Integration

```python
from supermemory_openai import execute_memory_tool_calls

# After getting tool calls from OpenAI
if response.choices[0].message.tool_calls:
    tool_results = await execute_memory_tool_calls(
        api_key="your-supermemory-api-key",
        tool_calls=response.choices[0].message.tool_calls,
        config={"project_id": "my-project"}
    )

    # Add tool results to conversation
    messages.append(response.choices[0].message)
    messages.extend(tool_results)
```

from supermemory_openai import (
    with_supermemory,
    SupermemoryConfigurationError,
    SupermemoryAPIError,
    SupermemoryNetworkError,
    SupermemoryMemoryOperationError,
)

try:
    # This will raise SupermemoryConfigurationError if API key is missing
    client = with_supermemory(openai_client, "user-123")

    response = await client.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
