Graphiti vs Memary
Updated March 10, 2026
Overview
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.
Memary is an open-source knowledge graph memory system for AI agents. It specializes in building and querying complex reasoning trails rather than simple chat log retrieval, using knowledge graphs to track entities, relationships, and reasoning chains across agent interactions.
