    Persistent, structured memory for AI Agents

  2. 2

    Built this for my LLM workflows - needed searchable, persistent memory that wouldn't blow up storage costs. I also wanted to use it locally for my research. It's a content-addressed storage system with block-level deduplication (saves 30-40% on typical codebases). I have integrated the CLI tool into most of my workflows in Zed, Claude Code, and Cursor, and I provide the prompt I'm currently using in the repo. The project is in C++ and the build system is rough around the edges but is tested on macOS and Ubuntu 24.04.

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

    Hi HN, Erik here. Today we launch Butter, an OpenAI-compatible API proxy that caches LLM generations and serves them deterministically on revisit. Since April, we’ve been working on this concept of “muscle memory,” or deterministic replay, for agent systems performing automations. You may recall our first post in May, launching a python package called Muscle Mem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43988381 Since then, the product has evolved entirely, now taking the form of an LLM Proxy. For a deep dive into this process, check out:…

    I recently built a small open-source tool to benchmark different LLM API endpoints — including OpenAI, Claude, and self-hosted models (like llama.cpp). It runs a configurable number of test requests and reports two key metrics: • First-token latency (ms): How long it takes for the first token to appear • Output speed (tokens/sec): Overall output fluency Demo: https://llmapitest.com/ Code: https://github.com/qjr87/llm-api-test The goal is to provide a simple, visual, and reproducible way to evaluate performance across different LLM providers, including…

    Zep is a long-term memory store designed for conversational AI applications built using modern LLMs. It handles the storage, summarization, embedding, indexing, and enrichment of chat histories, and offers developers a simple, low-latency API to this data. Chat history storage is an infrastructure challenge all developers and enterprises face as they look to move from prototypes to deploying conversational AI applications that provide rich and intimate experiences to users. Key features include long-term memory persistence, auto-summarization, vector search, auto-token counting, and Python…

    Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux. I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started. While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

    Hi all! We've built our fair share of LLM apps, everything from Shopify agents to real-time clones of "Samantha" from "Her". We started facing a lot of annoyances & issues repetitively with building functional apps. So we sifted through 97K posts from the OpenAI Community to confirm and find people with similar problems (& we did). It turns out that there are a handful of low-level problems that everybody who is building an AI app that works well needs to solve: statefulness to manage conversations interaction interface between multiple agents and multiple users. robust document search…

    Hi HN, A couple weeks ago I shared an early version of a side project I’ve been tinkering with called Persistent Mind Model. I built it at home on an i7-10700K / 32GB RAM / RTX 3080 because I was curious whether an AI could keep a stable “mind” over time, that could "think" about it's own identity as an LLM, instead of resetting every session. After a lot more tinkering, I think the architecture is finally in a solid place. Basically, it saves everything the AI does, thoughts, decisions, updates as a chain of events in a local SQLite database. Because the “identity” is stored in…

    Backengine is a tool that evolved from an experiment at my startup for which we wanted to pass structured data to an LLM completion API and receive structured data back. We thought we'd release it as a standalone tool for others who might also find it useful. Backengine lets you create hosted API endpoints for which the endpoint logic is described in natural language as an LLM prompt. The endpoints accept structured requests and return structured responses. Why is this useful? Hosted - no additional infrastructure to maintain. Prompt engineering workspace - you can edit, test and tweak…

    Tired of AI coding tools that forget everything between sessions? Every time I open a new chat with Claude or fire up Copilot, I'm back to square one explaining my codebase structure. So I built something to fix this. It's called In Memoria. Its an MCP server that gives AI tools persistent memory. Instead of starting fresh every conversation, the AI remembers your coding patterns, architectural decisions, and all the context you've built up. The setup is dead simple: `npx in-memoria server` then connect your AI tool. No accounts, no data leaves your machine. Under the hood it's TypeScript +…
