Hey HN, I built this because most AI memory solutions (mem0, Zep) need cloud connectivity. That doesn't work for drones flying beyond cell coverage or robots in warehouses. Shodh-Memory is a local-first AI memory system: - 100% offline, runs on edge devices - 4MB binary, sub-100ms retrieval - Multi-tier memory (working → session → long-term) - Geo-spatial queries for GPS-tagged memories - Mission tracking for autonomous systems Install: pip install shodh-memory Quick example: ```python from shodh_memory import MemorySystem memory = MemorySystem("./robot_memory") memory.record(…

Hi HN, Working with multiple projects, I got tired of re-explaining our complex multi-node system to LLMs. Documentation helped, but plain text is hard to search without indexing and doesn't work across projects. I built Linggen to solve this. My Workflow: I use the Linggen VS Code extension to "init my day." It calls the Linggen MCP to load memory instantly. Linggen indexes all my docs like it’s remembering them—it is awesome. One click loads the full architectural context, removing the "cold start" problem. The Tech: Local-First: Rust + LanceDB. Code and embeddings stay on your machine. No…

An agent that remembers across sessions can keep its memory as curated markdown files, as an auto-mined structured store, or as trained experience.

I'm an "ideas person" who messes around with AI on a low budget. I got tired of watching my tokens vanish and context windows filling up while agents fumbled around trying to find the right thing. Agents don't flail like they used to with shell tools, but there are still weak/blind spots and back-and-forth episodes — especially when using tools in combination/sequence. So I built "tilth" today. Or rather, AI built it — every line is Opus 4.6. I spent a lot of my precious tokens getting it to "not shit" (at least several of the different vendors' AI overlords assure me it's not…

Hey HN, It’s Vineeth from Plastic Labs. We've been building Honcho, an open-source memory library for stateful AI agents. Most memory systems are just vector search—store facts, retrieve facts, stuff into context. We took a different approach: memory as reasoning. (We talk about this a lot on our blog) We built Neuromancer, a model trained specifically for AI-native memory. Instead of naive fact extraction, Neuromancer does formal logical reasoning over conversations to build representations that evolve over time. Its both cheap ( $2/M tokens ingestion, unlimited retrieval), token…

The most common failures for production agents are behavioral: looping, reasoning leakage, user frustration, and more. Using a frontier model like GPT or Sonnet to judge every turn is too expensive and slow to run at scale. To solve this, we built Reflexes: semantic signals from agent traces, served fast and cheap over API. Built on custom kernels and a custom inference engine forked from vLLM. Under the hood, it is a small LLM architected around multi-head inference. Small models need to be trained for specific tasks, but running 50 separate small models on the same input for 50 tasks makes…

Hey HN! I'm Arindam, part of the team behind Memori (https://memori.gibsonai.com/). Memori adds a stateful memory engine to AI agents, enabling them to stay consistent, recall past work, and improve over time. With Memori, agents don’t lose track of multi-step workflows, repeat tool calls, or forget user preferences. Instead, they build up human-like memory that makes them more reliable and efficient across sessions. We’ve also put together demo apps (a personal diary assistant, a research agent, and a travel planner) so you can see memory in action. Current LLMs are stateless…
