🎯 Why agent-memory-toolkit?

Most agent memory is just "dump everything in a vector DB and pray." That doesn't scale.

agent-memory-toolkit uses hybrid retrieval:

  • 🔍 BM25 for exact keyword matches
  • 🧬 Vector search for semantic similarity
  • 🕸️ Knowledge graph for relational context
  • RRF fusion to combine results intelligently
  • 📉 Ebbinghaus decay so recent memories surface naturally

95.2% R@5 on LongMemEval-S — state-of-the-art recall for long-term agent memory


🔐 Local-First. Your Data Stays Yours.

No cloud. No API calls for storage. Everything runs on SQLite.

  • ✅ Works offline
  • ✅ GDPR-friendly
  • ✅ Airgapped environments
  • ✅ Full control over your data

✨ Features

Feature Description
🔍 Hybrid Retrieval BM25 + vectors + knowledge graph with RRF fusion
📉 Ebbinghaus Decay Recent memories surface first, old ones fade naturally
📝 Structured Extraction 6 cognitive domains (bio, preferences, work, social, temporal, procedural)
🔒 Security Guard Poison detection, confidence scoring, source validation
📦 Smart Compression Token-aware context compression for LLM context windows
👥 Team Collaboration Git-like branching, merging, and sync for multi-agent systems
🔄 Version Control Full history tracking with commits and rollback

📦 Install

pip install agent-memory-toolkit

With all features:

pip install agent-memory-toolkit[all]

🚀 Quick Start

from agent_memory_toolkit import MemoryStore

# Create a local memory store
store = MemoryStore("memories.db", auto_embed=True)

# Add memories
store.add("User prefers dark mode and vim keybindings")
store.add("Project deadline is Friday, client is Acme Corp")
store.add("Last meeting discussed Q4 roadmap")

# Hybrid search (BM25 + vectors + recency decay)
results = store.search("vim preferences", mode="hybrid")

for r in results:
    print(f"[{r.score:.2f}] {r.memory.content}")

Extract Structured Memories

from agent_memory_toolkit import MemoryExtractor

extractor = MemoryExtractor()

text = """
Hi, I'm Sarah Chen. I work as a Senior Engineer at TechCorp.
I prefer Python over JavaScript and usually work 9-5 PST.
"""

memories = extractor.extract(text)

for m in memories.memories:
    print(f"[{m.domain.value}] {m.key}: {m.value}")
# [biography] name: Sarah Chen
# [work] role: Senior Engineer
# [preferences] preferred_language: Python
