Decision brief

Memory Library for Stateful Agents

Good fit when

  • Requires managing long-term and contextual memory in AI agents for statefulness.
  • Prefer open-source solutions under AGPL-3.0 that allow local deployment through Docker.

Avoid when

  • Do not need complex SDK support or a customizable framework approach.
  • Not interested in using stateful capabilities leveraging multiple APIs such as Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenAI.
