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! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases. The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history? How it works: Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual…

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…

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.

Most RAG setups fail because they treat memory like a static filing cabinet. When every transient bug fix or abandoned rule is stored forever, the context window eventually chokes on noise, spiking token costs and degrading the agent's reasoning. This implementation experiments with a biological approach by using the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to manage context as a living substrate. Memories are assigned a "strength" score where each recall reinforces the data and flattens its decay curve (spaced repetition), while unused data eventually hits a threshold and is pruned. To solve the…

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…

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…

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

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…
