What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Cognee

Leader

Cognee is a graph-based memory engine for AI agents that captures information, organizes it as interconnected knowledge, and enables agents to recall context across conversations. It runs locally, on managed cloud infrastructure, or on-premises with full control over data.

Independently observed

Graphiti

An open-source framework that enables AI agents to build and query context graphs with historical awareness. Unlike static knowledge graphs, Graphiti's context graphs preserve how information changes over time and maintain provenance to source data, supporting both semantic and graph-based retrieval across evolving real-world data.
