## What is Letta?

Letta enables LLMs to manage their own memory and overcome limited context windows!

You can use Letta to:

- create perpetual chatbots that learn about you and change their own personalities over time
- create perpetual chatbots that can read (and write to!) large data stores

Letta is an open source project under active development. If you'd like to help make Letta even better, come chat with the community on [Discord](https://discord.gg/9GEQrxmVyE) and on [GitHub](https://github.com/cpacker/Letta). You can read more about the research behind Letta at <https://letta.ai>.
