mem0
Fastest path to agent memory — extracts distilled facts with a tiny token footprint and the biggest community.
- Quick to adopt, broad framework integrations
- Stores distilled facts, small footprint
- Vector + graph + key-value storage
- Open-source with usable free tier
- Weaker on temporal/state-change queries
- LLM call on every write adds latency
- Test deletion/conflict handling for regulated use
- More library than full memory server
