Supermemory

Memory engine and context API for AI assistants

Supermemory is a memory and context platform for AI assistants and agents. It ranks #1 on LongMemEval, LoCoMo, and ConvoMem, supports MCP for Claude/Cursor-style clients, provides plugins for developer tools, and combines memory extraction, user profiles, hybrid search, connectors, and RAG in one API.

Graphiti

Build real-time temporal knowledge graphs for AI agents

Graphiti is an open-source Python framework by Zep for building temporally-aware knowledge graphs for AI agents. It continuously integrates conversations, business data, and external information into queryable graphs with bi-temporal tracking. The hybrid retrieval combines semantic search, BM25 keywords, and graph traversal for sub-300ms queries without LLM calls at retrieval time.

Memori

SQL-native memory infrastructure for AI agents and applications

Memori is an AI memory engine that provides persistent, queryable memory for agents and applications using SQL-native storage. It stores structured memories with semantic search, temporal awareness, and relationship tracking, enabling AI systems to remember user preferences, past interactions, and contextual facts across sessions. With 12,900 GitHub stars, it offers a database-native approach to the agent memory problem.

agentmemory

Persistent memory layer for AI coding agents — keeps Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP agent in context across sessions

agentmemory is an open-source MCP server that gives AI coding agents persistent, cross-session memory. Built on hybrid vector-graph search, it achieves 95.2% recall on the LongMemEval-S benchmark while using up to 92% fewer context tokens than naive context injection. Works out of the box with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode, Kilo Code, Hermes, and any MCP client through 51 MCP tools plus 12 hooks and 4 skills.

Agent Skills

Open standard for portable skills across AI agents

Agent Skills is the open SKILL.md folder specification for packaging reusable instructions, scripts, references, and assets that compatible AI agents load through progressive disclosure. Originally developed by Anthropic and released as an open standard, it defines the portable format itself—not an example library, marketplace, or hosted agent product.

Comparisons

Mem0 vs Letta: Memory Layer or Stateful Agent Runtime?

Mem0 and Letta both solve long-term context for AI agents, but they solve it at different architectural layers. Mem0 is a memory service that can be added to an existing agent or application through SDK, REST, or MCP interfaces. Letta is a stateful agent platform in which editable memory blocks, archival memory, tools, model configuration, and agent identity are coordinated by the runtime itself. For most engineering teams comparing the two as infrastructure, **Mem0 is the better default**. It adds production memory without forcing a runtime replacement, offers managed and Apache-2.0 self-hosted paths, and integrates across common agent frameworks. Letta is the stronger specialist choice when persistent, agent-editable state is the product requirement and the team wants the runtime—not an external memory layer—to own how the agent remembers, acts, and evolves.

Mem0 vs Zep — AI Agent Memory: Vector-First vs Temporal Knowledge Graph in 2026

Mem0 and Zep are the two most-installed memory layers for AI agents in 2026, but they make opposite architectural bets. Mem0 is a fully open-source vector-first memory framework with optional graph memory, ideal for conversational agents and broad ecosystem coverage. Zep is a commercial platform built on Graphiti, a temporal knowledge graph where every fact has a validity window — the right choice when your agent must reason about state that changes over time. This comparison covers benchmarks, temporal reasoning, self-hosting, pricing, and ecosystem fit.

Mem0 vs LangChain — AI Memory Layer vs LLM Application Framework

Mem0 provides a dedicated memory management layer that gives AI applications persistent user context across sessions. LangChain offers a comprehensive framework for building LLM-powered applications with chains, agents, and retrieval pipelines. Mem0 wins for adding memory to existing apps while LangChain wins as a full application development framework.

Supermemory vs Mem0 — Universal AI Memory Platform vs Managed Memory Layer

Supermemory and Mem0 both solve the AI amnesia problem — giving AI assistants persistent memory across conversations. Supermemory offers a complete context stack with RAG, user profiles, connectors, and an MCP server, while Mem0 provides a focused memory layer with simpler API integration. Your choice depends on whether you need a full platform or a lightweight memory component.
