Mem0 is a Y Combinator-backed memory layer for AI applications founded in 2023 by Taranjeet Singh (ex-Khatabook first growth engineer) and Deshraj Yadav (ex-Tesla Autopilot AI Platform lead). Launched in January 2024, Mem0 raised USD 24 million including USD 3.9 million in seed funding and USD 20 million Series A led by Basis Set Ventures, with participation from Kindred Ventures, Y Combinator, Peak XV Partners, and GitHub Fund. The company serves over 80,000 developers and provides the exclusive memory provider for AWS new Agent SDK. Mem0 offers a free tier with 10,000 memories and 1,000 retrieval calls per month, Pro plans at USD 19-249/month with different memory limits, and custom Enterprise pricing. The platform supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployment options. Graph memory capabilities are only available on Pro plans (USD 249/month) or higher. Mem0 specializes in persistent memory for LLM applications, enabling AI systems to remember context across interactions for improved personalization and continuity.

Cognee is an open-source memory management framework for AI applications that builds knowledge graphs from unstructured data. It extracts entities, relationships, and facts from conversations and documents, enabling AI agents to maintain structured long-term memory with semantic retrieval.
Graphiti is an open-source temporal knowledge graph engine built by the Zep team. It creates dynamic, time-aware knowledge graphs from conversational and unstructured data, enabling agents to maintain evolving memory with temporal reasoning. Graphiti powers many agent memory implementations and is often used alongside Zep for graph-based recall.
