Cognee is an open-source AI memory platform for agents. The important signal is not just the repository, but the packaging of memory as infrastructure: ingestion, knowledge graph, vector search, ontology, integrations, and self-hosted deployment.

Agent memory is becoming a separate market because ordinary RAG does not answer the harder questions: what should an agent remember between tasks, who verified it, what is stale, and which context can safely enter the next run.

Why it is worth tracking

Agent memory requires:

provenance;
schemas for facts;
deduplication;
long-term storage;
a forgetting policy;
links between episodic traces and reusable knowledge.

New Runtime Read

Agent memory is not “put everything in a vector database”. It is operational memory: what was done, what was proven, what can be reused, and which records must not enter the next context without review.
