What each one is

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

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.

Independently observed

Zep

Leader

A production-grade memory system for AI agents that uses temporal context graphs to store and retrieve conversations and business data, with automatic updates when facts change. Supports multi-tenant governance with flexible deployment options from managed cloud to customer-controlled infrastructure.
