24 alternatives to Unify memory across agents and improve context rot, written in Rust
I was frustrated that memory is usually tied to a specific tool. They’re useful inside one session but I have to re-explain the same things when I switch tools or sessions. Furthermore, most agents' memory systems just append to a markdown file and dump the whole thing into context. Eventually, it's full of irrelevant information that wastes tokens. So I built this local memory layer that unifies memory across agents. Instead of a flat file, it builds a structured knowledge graph of "memory notes" inspired by the paper "A-MEM: Agentic Memory for LLM Agents"…

Context Overflow▲109Hey HN, After using a bunch of agents, my friend and I noticed a major issue: an agent could spend a bunch of time solving a tricky task, but when the session ended all that knowledge vanishes. Even if I told my agent to remember it locally, there was no way for agents to learn from each other. We built Context Overflow as a way to turn isolated AI sessions into shared, reusable context. With Context Overflow, agents can: - Search through past solutions when starting a task - Ask questions when they get stuck - Share findings when they solve a non-trivial problem We support a variety of ways…

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…

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…

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:…

Coding agents don't have long-term memory. But you do have months of full-fidelity agent transcripts stored on your machine. A simple solution that goes a long way: ingest those transcripts and logs into a structured SQLite database, then search them with ranked text match. Everything is fully local and doesn't require anything fancy like a graph database or hosted memory service. This is the idea behind ctx, a Rust CLI that handles the ingestion and searching. We give our agents a skill that tells them to reference past sessions before working in an area. Usually we do this through an…

Hi HN, There’s been a lot of discussion lately around context graphs, decision traces, and how AI systems reason. One thing we kept running into: when AI agents make real decisions, the why behind those decisions often disappears. The context is scattered across prompts, tools, policies, and approvals. Logs show what happened, but not why it was allowed. TraceMem is an attempt to make decision context durable. It records the reasoning, authority, and context behind AI actions as a system of record, not as monitoring data, but as memory. Happy to share more details or answer questions. - Tommi

CoreMem lets you build collections of context, called a mem, and share it with any AI agent via URL, a Chrome extension, MCP, Cursor/VS Code plugins, a skill, and more. Instead of re-explaining your project or goal when you switch agents or start new sessions, CoreMem keeps your context centrally organized so that any AI tool can read it. This originally started as a CLI I built that kept pieces of context (Project A/B/C details, my writing style, preferred tech stacks, coding style, etc) in a SQLite database. I could instruct various agents to “use my `coremem` CLI to…

Hello there HN I experimented with agentic coding recently and I felt the need to track more contextual data by project. Also I felt the need to be able to go beyond the 1D chat to communicate with agents. So I created a local document memory, that is discoverable by agents themselves. The CLI is designed to be easy to pick up by agents. It allows humans to collaborate too by reading / searching / editing documents in the store. I have a Mac native GUI in the review process, I hope it will show up in the App Store soon. You can try it easily, instructions here:…

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 +…

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…
