24 alternatives to Mem0 – open-source Memory Layer for AI apps
Hey HN! We're Taranjeet and Deshraj, the founders of Mem0 (https://mem0.ai). Mem0 adds a stateful memory layer to AI applications, allowing them to remember user interactions, preferences, and context over time. This enables AI apps to deliver increasingly personalized and intelligent experiences that evolve with every interaction. There’s a demo video at https://youtu.be/VtRuBCTZL1o and a playground to try out at https://app.mem0.ai/playground. You'll need to sign up to use the playground – this helps ensure responses are more tailored to you by…

Hey HN! We're Deshraj and Taranjeet. We've been building working on a startup called Mem0, building an open-source memory layer for AI apps and agents (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447317). We also kept running into our own daily frustrations with AI assistants forgetting everything between conversations. Over a weekend, we decided to hack together a Chrome extension to solve this for ourselves. The problem was simple: we were constantly re-explaining our context across platforms when switching between ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Start a coding discussion in…

Memno▲104We built Memno. We like to think of Memno as an AI chief of staff. Every photo, document, and voice note you share becomes searchable memory. Ask "What did we decide about Q4?" and it pulls from all your sources. Can also make calls and send texts on your behalf (with approval!) Each user gets their own isolated environment with dedicated vector database, metadata storage, and object storage instances. Some highlights: - Complete data isolation per user (no shared databases), encrypted at rest - Sub-50ms vector search - Document processing pipeline for OCR/transcription/object…

Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

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, We’ve been building memU(https://github.com/NevaMind-AI/memU), an open-source, general-purpose memory framework for AI agents. It supports dual-mode retrieval: classic RAG and LLM-based direct file reading. Most multimodal memory systems either embed everything into vectors or treat non-text data as attachments. These work, but at scale it becomes hard to explain why certain context was retrieved and what evidence it relies on. memU takes a different approach: since models reason in language, multimodal memory should converge into structured, queryable text, while…

DeltaMemory▲104Most AI agents forget everything between sessions. We built DeltaMemory to fix that. It's a cognitive memory layer that gives agents persistent recall, automatic fact extraction, and temporal reasoning — via a single SDK call. Key numbers: - 89% accuracy on LoCoMo long-term conversation benchmark - 50ms p50 retrieval latency - 97% cost reduction vs raw token re-processing Open source SDKs, works with any LLM stack. Currently in early access. Happy to answer questions about the architecture, benchmark methodology, or how we handle knowledge graphs.

YourMemory▲93This is a project that I have been building for a while now, YourMemory is a solution to agentic memory which focuses on pruning of noise rather than hoarding of data. In the current state of agentic memory most of the context is stored in the form of a MD file or is derived through a RAG model where you store each and everything. Both of the solution leads to bloated context which does not optimize the usage of any tokens. In this system we only keep relevant data in our memory and prune all the unnecessary data. The relevance of a data is derived through multiple factors such as recall…

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…
