+## Setting Your Cache Type
+
+By default Auto-GPT is going to use LocalCache instead of redis or Pinecone.
+
+To switch to either, change the `MEMORY_BACKEND` env variable to the value that you want:
+
+`local` (default) uses a local JSON cache file
+`pinecone` uses the Pinecone.io account you configured in your ENV settings
+`redis` will use the redis cache that you configured
