    Hey HN! I'm José, and I built Recall to solve a problem that was driving me crazy. The Problem: I use Claude for coding daily, but every conversation starts from scratch. I'd explain my architecture, coding standards, past decisions... then hit the context limit and lose everything. Next session? Start over. The Solution: Recall is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude persistent memory using Redis + semantic search. Think of it as long-term memory that survives context limits and session restarts. How it works: - Claude stores important context as "memories" during…

    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…

    This is a small library for giving an agent persistent memory without running any infrastructure. The whole store is one SQLite file, and the default install has no dependencies. I built it because whenever I wanted an agent to remember a handful of facts across sessions, the options were a hosted API, a vector database, or a framework, and that felt like too much for what is usually a few thousand short strings. The part I find most useful is that recall is deterministic, so you can write unit tests that assert what your agent remembers and run them in CI. I haven't seen that elsewhere and…
