Data Protection Features

Record Retention Controls

As a Data Protection Officer, you can configure:

• Appropriate retention periods for different conversation types
• Automatic deletion of expired conversation data
• Retention holds for conversations related to ongoing investigations
• Export capabilities for regulatory inquiries

Data Subject Rights Support

The system facilitates compliance with data subject rights:

• Identification of conversations related to specific data subjects
• Export of conversation data for access requests
• Deletion capabilities for data subject erasure requests
• Annotation capabilities for processing restriction requests

Message Types

Chat Message Interface

interface ICheckpointerChatMessage {
  id: string;
  type: 'user' | 'ai' | 'tool';
  name: string;
  content: string;
  artifact?: string;
  threadId: string;
}

Message Categories

1. User Messages

   • Type: 'user'
   • Human-generated content
   • Thread context

2. AI Messages

   • Type: 'ai'
   • Model-generated responses
   • Conversation continuity

3. Tool Messages

   • Type: 'tool'
   • Tool execution results
   • Optional artifacts

Configuration

PostgreSQL Setup

// Initialize PostgreSQL pool
const pool = new pg.Pool({
  connectionString: postgresConfig.daisy.connectionString,
});

// Configure chat message history
const chatMessageHistory = new PostgresChatMessageHistory({
  pool,
  tableName: postgresConfig.daisy.chatMemoryTable,
  sessionId: threadId,
});

Redis Integration

// Redis byte store configuration
const store = new RedisByteStore({
  url: redisConfig.connectionString,
  prefix: 'chat_memory:',
});

Key Features

Message Retrieval

1. Single Agent Messages

const messages = await chatMemory.getCheckpointerMessagesSingleAgent(threadId);

2. Daisy-specific Messages

const daisyMessages = await chatMemory.getCheckpointerMessagesDaisy(threadId);

Checkpoint Management

// Get checkpointer instance
const checkpointer = chatMemory.getCheckpointer();

// List checkpoints for a thread
const checkpoints = checkpointer.list({
  configurable: {
    thread_id: threadId,
  },
});

Best Practices

Memory Management

1. Storage Optimization

   • Implement message cleanup policies
   • Archive old conversations
   • Monitor storage usage

2. Performance Tuning

   • Use appropriate indexes
   • Implement caching strategies
   • Monitor query performance

Error Handling

try {
  const messages = await chatMemory.getCheckpointerMessagesDaisy(threadId);
} catch (error) {
  logger.error('Failed to retrieve messages', {
    threadId,
    error: error.message,
  });
  // Implement appropriate fallback
}

Integration Patterns

With Chat Models

// Create chat chain with memory
const chain = chatMemory.getChainWithHistory({
  model: chatModel,
  sessionId: threadId,
});

// Execute chain with history
const response = await chain.invoke({
  input: userMessage,
});

With Agents

// Initialize agent with memory
const agent = createAgent({
  tools,
  memory: chatMemory.getChatMemory(threadId),
  checkpointer: chatMemory.getCheckpointer(),
});
