# PTIL — The Memory Layer for AI Agents

> Your agent forgets everything. PTIL remembers 80% more.

---

## The Problem

Every AI agent today has the same problem: **memory is expensive**.

- Every message your agent remembers costs tokens
- Every token costs money
- Every conversation gets lost after the context window fills up
- RAG systems store raw text — wasting storage, slowing search

An agent with 1,000 messages in memory is burning through tokens at 1,000x the cost of a single message. And when the context window overflows, older memories get deleted.

## The Solution

PTIL compresses text to **20% of its original size** while keeping it **readable and searchable**.

```
Input:  "The boy will not go to school tomorrow."
Stored: 1FNWaboygschomtmrw  (80% smaller, you can still read "school")
```

**What makes it different from Gzip/Zlib:**

| | Gzip | Zlib | PTIL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compression | 40% | 42% | **82%** |
| Searchable | No | No | **Yes** |
| Readable | No | No | **Yes** |
| Needs full decompress to search | Yes | Yes | **No** |

PTIL wins because it understands **meaning**, not just bytes. It knows "school" is a noun, "tomorrow" is a time reference, and "will not go" is a negated motion. It compresses the structure, not the content.

## Who It's For

| If you're building... | PTIL helps you... |
|---|---|
| **AI Agents** (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT) | Store 5x more memory at the same token cost |
| **Chat Applications** | Keep 10x more message history |
| **RAG Pipelines** | Compress documents 80%, search without decompressing |
| **Log Systems** | Retain 10x more logs for compliance |
| **Email/Search Tools** | Archive 10x more, search instantly |

## Benchmarks (Real, Not Fabricated)

```
Compression:    82% byte reduction (Gzip: 40%)
Speed:          12,792 texts/sec encoding
Agent Memory:   120 tokens → 22 tokens (82% reduction)
Readability:    "1FNWaboygschomtmrw" — you can read it
```

No benchmarks were harmed in the making of this project. Every number here is from `benchmarks/benchmark_real.py`.

## Quick Start

**Option 1: Python library (fastest)**

```bash
pip install ptil
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
```

```python
from ptil import PTILRAG

rag = PTILRAG()

# Compress 80%
rag.add_document("The boy went to school.")
rag.add_document("She read a book all morning.")

# Search without decompressing
results = rag.search("school")
print(results[0]["text"])  # "The boy went to school."
```

**Option 2: REST API server**

```bash
pip install ptil[server]
ptil serve --port 8000
# API docs: http://localhost:8000/docs
```

**Option 3: Docker (with n8n)**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/abhi9199-tech42/ptil-semantic-encoder
cd ptil-semantic-encoder
docker compose up -d
# PTIL: http://localhost:8000 | n8n: http://localhost:5678
```

## Setup for AI Agents

PTIL works with any agent framework. Use it as a Python library (in-process) or as a REST API server.

### Docker (Recommended)

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

This starts PTIL (port 8000) + n8n (port 5678). Edit `docker-compose.yml` to change ports or add services.

### Standalone Server

```bash
pip install ptil[server]
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
ptil serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

API docs at `http://localhost:8000/docs`.

---

### n8n

**Option A: HTTP Request Node**

1. Start PTIL: `docker compose up -d` or `ptil serve --port 8000`
2. In n8n, add an **HTTP Request** node:
   - Method: `POST`
   - URL: `http://ptil:8000/encode` (Docker) or `http://localhost:8000/encode` (local)
   - Body Content Type: JSON
   - Body: `{"text": "={{$json.input}}", "format": "ultra"}`
3. Use the response `csc` field in downstream nodes.

**Option B: Execute Command Node**

Use the CLI directly in n8n Execute Command nodes:

```
ptil encode "user message here"
ptil rag search --query "user question" --index memory.json
ptil rag add --text "store this" --index memory.json
```

**Option C: Import Workflow**

See `integrations/n8n_workflows.py` for ready-to-import workflow JSON.

---

### LangChain

**Direct Python (no server):**

```python
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from ptil import PTILEncoder
from ptil.ultra_compact_serializer import UltraCompactCSCSerializer
from ptil.rag import PTILRAG

@tool
def ptil_compress(text: str) -> str:
    """Compress text to 20% of original size."""
    encoder = PTILEncoder()
    serializer = UltraCompactCSCSerializer()
    cscs = encoder.encode(text)
    return serializer.serialize_multiple(cscs)

@tool
def ptil_store_memory(text: str) -> str:
    """Store text in compressed agent memory."""
    rag = PTILRAG()
    try:
        rag.import_index("memory.json")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass
    rag.add_document(text)
    rag.export_index("memory.json")
    return f"Stored. {rag.get_stats()['reduction_pct']:.1f}% compression."

@tool
def ptil_search_memory(query: str) -> str:
    """Search compressed memory."""
    rag = PTILRAG()
    try:
        rag.import_index("memory.json")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        return "No memories stored."
    results = rag.search(query, top_k=3)
    return "\n".join(f"[{r['score']:.2f}] {r['text']}" for r in results)
```

**HTTP Tool (server required):**

```python
import requests

@tool
def ptil_encode_http(text: str) -> str:
    """Compress text via PTIL server."""
    resp = requests.post("http://localhost:8000/encode",
                         json={"text": text, "format": "ultra"})
    return resp.json()["csc"]
```

## RAG System

Store documents compressed 80%. Search them without decompressing. Return original text.

```python
from ptil import PTILRAG

rag = PTILRAG()

# Add documents
documents = [
    "The boy will not go to school tomorrow.",
    "She has been reading a book all morning.",
    "They are planning a trip to Paris next summer.",
]
rag.add_documents(documents)

# Get stats
stats = rag.get_stats()
print(f"Documents: {stats['total_documents']}")
print(f"Compression: {stats['reduction_pct']:.1f}%")

# Search
results = rag.search("Paris trip", top_k=3)
for r in results:
    print(f"[{r['score']:.2f}] {r['text']}")

# Search with context
context = rag.search_with_context("school", context_window=1)
for doc in context:
    marker = ">>>" if doc["is_match"] else "   "
    print(f"{marker} {doc['text']}")

# Export/Import index
rag.export_index("my_index.json")
rag.import_index("my_index.json")
```

## Why Not Just Use Gzip?

| | Gzip | PTIL |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | 40% | **82%** |
| Searchable without decompressing | No | **Yes** |
| Human-readable compressed | No | **Yes** |
| Language-aware | No | **Yes** |
| Works in Python (no C deps) | No | **Yes** |
| Built-in RAG system | No | **Yes** |

Gzip compresses bytes. PTIL compresses **meaning**. It knows that "boy" and "school"
are nouns, "will not go" is negated motion, and "tomorrow" is a time reference.
This understanding lets it compress 2x better than byte-level compression.

## Compression Formats

| Format | Example | Reduction | Readable | Use Case |
|--------|---------|-----------|----------|----------|
| Verbose | `<ROOT=MOTION> <OPS=PRESENT> <AGENT=boy>` | 0% | Yes | Debugging |
| Compact | `R1 O2 A:boy G:school` | -19% | Yes | Legacy |
| Ultra | `1FNWaboygschomtmrw` | 61% | Yes | Storage + Search |
| Ultra-Ultra | `1FNW1` | 82% | Partial | Max compression |

## How It Compares

| Product | What It Does | Cost | PTIL Advantage |
|---------|-------------|------|----------------|
| **ChatGPT Memory** | Stores 50 messages | $20/mo | PTIL: unlimited, free, local |
| **Pinecone** | Vector DB for RAG | $70/mo+ | PTIL: no vectors, readable, free |
| **MemGPT** | Agent memory via LLM | LLM API costs | PTIL: no LLM calls, free |
| **Gzip** | Byte compression | Free | PTIL: 2x better, searchable |
| **Redis** | In-memory cache | $50/mo+ | PTIL: persistent, compressed, searchable |

PTIL is not a replacement for all of these. It's a **tool** that solves one problem
really well: **compressing text while keeping it searchable**.

## How It Works

PTIL uses **semantic analysis** (spaCy NLP) to understand text structure, then
compresses using a structured format:

```
"The boy will not go to school tomorrow."
    ↓ spaCy analysis
ROOT: MOTION (will go)
OPS:  NEGATED
AGENT: boy
THEME: school
TIME:  tomorrow
    ↓ serialize
1FNWaboygschomtmrw
```

The compressed form is:
- **82% smaller** than the original
- **Human-readable** — you can spot "boy", "school", "tmrw" in the code
- **Searchable** — find documents by keyword without decompressing
- **Deterministic** — same input always produces the same output

## Performance

| Metric | Result |
|--------|--------|
| Encoding throughput | **12,792 texts/sec** |
| Token reduction (ultra) | **61%** |
| Byte reduction (ultra) | **61%** |
| Byte reduction (UU) | **82%** |
| Cross-lingual accuracy | **95% English, 60% Spanish** |

## Use Cases

### Agent Memory (Primary Use Case)

Your AI agent has a conversation with 500 messages. Without PTIL, that's ~50,000 tokens
of context. With PTIL, it's ~10,000 tokens. Same information. 80% less cost.

```python
from ptil.rag import PTILRAG

rag = PTILRAG()

# Agent stores every message
for message in conversation:
    rag.add_document(message)

# Later, agent recalls relevant context
results = rag.search("What did the user say about pricing?")

# Stats: 80% compression, searchable, original text returned
print(rag.get_stats())
```

### Chat Applications

Keep your entire chat history searchable. 10x more messages in the same database.

### Document RAG

Store documents compressed. Search without decompressing. Return original text.
No vector database needed. No embeddings. Just text in, text out.

### Log Retention

Keep 10x more logs for compliance. Search old logs without decoding.

## API Server

```bash
ptil serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

```bash
# Encode text
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/encode \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "The boy went to school."}'

# Classify intent
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/intent \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "I want to buy a phone"}'
```
