Mem0
Mem0 is an open-source memory layer for AI agents that extracts facts from conversations in a single add-only pass, links entities across memories and retrieves them in later sessions, with an Apache-2.0 SDK and a managed platform.
Claude-Mem
Gives coding agents memory across sessions by capturing what they do, compressing it and feeding the relevant context back in later.
AgentMemory
Persistent memory layer for AI coding agents.
Knowhere
Document parsing and retrieval system that turns messy files into structured, navigable memory for AI agents and RAG.
ktx
An open-source context layer for data and analytics agents that gives Claude Code, Codex and other agents a self-improving map of your warehouse, metrics and business definitions.
Hy-Memory
Tencent Hunyuan's open-source memory system for agents that extracts, organizes and recalls long-term memories across sessions, with a memory hub and plugins for popular agent tools.
