LightMem-Ego: Your AI Memory for Everyday Life

Yijun Chen, Boyi Xiao, Yixian Zhao, Haoting Xia, Buqiang Xu, Jizhan Fang, Yanya Li, Yaqi Zheng, Xuehai Wang, Zirui Xue, Liuxin Zhang, Hui Li, Ningyu Zhang

Personal AI assistants on mobile and wearable devices continuously perceive users' daily lives through visual and audio streams. However, answering queries about past experiences requires lightweight multimodal memory that can continuously accumulate, organize, and retrieve long-term experiences, which remains challenging. To address this challenge, we present LightMem-Ego, a lightweight streaming multimodal memory system for everyday-life assistance. The system continuously captures egocentric visual and audio streams, aligns them on a shared timeline, and organizes them into a hierarchical memory consisting of current, short-term, and long-term memory. Given a user query, LightMem-Ego dynamically routes retrieval to the appropriate memory level and generates answers grounded in multimodal evidence. The demonstration can be deployed on smartphones and AI glasses, supporting object finding, conversation recall, life summarization, routine discovery, and personalized assistance. Code is available at https://github.com/zjunlp/LightMem-Ego.

Memory-Conditioned Tool Calling for Camera-First Visual Agents

Xiaofan Wu, Xi Zeng, Miaoxia Chen, Peishan Chen, Shuyan Li, Jiyun Yao, et al.

Recognition tells an agent what is in an image; personal memory affects what is worth looking up next. In a camera-first setting the user can send only an image, so the agent must form the lookups. We study whether personal visual memory improves agent-side tool choice and tool a…
