How to Build a Universal Long-Term Memory Layer for AI Agents Using Mem0 and OpenAI

In this tutorial, we build a universal long-term memory layer for AI agents using Mem0, OpenAI models, and ChromaDB. We design a system that can extract structured memories from natural conversations, store them semantically, retrieve them intelligently, and integrate them directly into personalized agent responses. We move beyond simple chat history and implement persistent, user-scoped
