Failure memory for AI agents — self-healing retry with structured learning

ReLoop

Failure memory for AI agents.

Every agent fails. ReLoop is the first framework that gets smarter from failure.

---

The Problem

AI agents retry blindly -- same mistake, same failure, burning tokens and money. No framework treats failure as data. They either retry with no memory, or give up.

The Solution

ReLoop captures every failure into a structured memory graph -- error type, root cause, suggested fix, confidence score, semantic embedding -- so the next retry starts smarter. Your agents don't just recover. They get permanently smarter.

---

Quick Start

The reloop-ai package is officially published and ready for production use.

pip install reloop-ai
reloop init
reloop demo

Minimal Setup (No Redis Required)

ReLoop works out of the box with SQLite -- no Redis or Blaxel needed:

pip install reloop-ai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
reloop serve

Redis and Blaxel are optional -- add them when you need production performance. For local development, ReLoop uses Docker or runs commands directly as the sandbox.

---

Three Ways to Use ReLoop

1. As a Library (any agent, 3 lines)

from reloop import FailureMemory

memory = FailureMemory(redis_url="redis://localhost:6379")
similar = await memory.search("ImportError sharp")  # Returns past failures + fixes

2. As a Framework (full self-healing loop)

reloop run "Fix and deploy the Next.js project at ./my-broken-app"

3. As an MCP Server (Cursor & Claude Code)

Integrate ReLoop directly into your AI IDEs so they become self-healing. When the MCP server is connected, Claude can:

• Search Memory: Semantically search past errors across your team's history.
• Fetch Checkpoints: Restore exact state from past Blaxel Firecracker VM checkpoints.
• Execute Safely: Run isolated code tests within Blaxel sandboxes directly from the editor.

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reloop": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "reloop.mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Redis: The Memory Backbone

ReLoop utilizes Redis as the core of its Agent Memory Server. The architecture consists of a 3-tier memory system:

1. Working Memory: Stores the current task's session state and immediate context.
2. Long-term Memory: A persistent failure graph using Redis Vector Search to semantically match current errors with past distilled solutions.
3. Episodic Memory: Full execution traces and timeline records for auditing and the dashboard UI.

Blaxel: Perpetual Execution Sandboxes

For safe, deterministic task execution, ReLoop integrates Blaxel's Firecracker microVMs.

• Perpetual State: The sandbox is never lost. You can pause and resume the exact environment.
• 25ms Checkpoint/Restore: ReLoop creates instantaneous checkpoints after every step.
• Time-Travel Rewinds: Hit a roadblock? Rewind the agent to a previous checkpoint in 25ms and try a different fix strategy.

The REJD Loop

The core algorithm: Retrieve -> Execute -> Judge -> Distill

flowchart TD
    A([New Task]) --> R[Retrieve\nQuery Redis for similar past failures]
    R --> E[Execute\nRun in Blaxel sandbox]
    E --> J{Judge\nSuccess or failure?}

    J -- Success --> D_OK[Distill Success\nStore solution + learnings]
    D_OK --> DONE([Task Complete])

    J -- Failure --> D_FAIL[Distill Failure\nCapture root cause, fix, confidence]
    D_FAIL --> CB{Circuit breaker\nor budget exceeded?}
    CB -- Yes --> ABANDON([Task Abandoned])
    CB -- No --> R

Powered by:

• OpenAI Agents SDK -- orchestrates the REJD loop with handoffs between specialist agents
• Redis -- 3-tier failure memory (working, long-term, episodic) via Agent Memory Server
• Blaxel -- Firecracker sandbox with 25ms checkpoint/restore (optional; Docker or direct execution for local dev)

---

Timeline UI

The non-chat interface that makes failure learning visible.

A horizontal timeline of colored nodes tells the full story at a glance:

RED (failed) -> RED (failed) -> RED (failed) -> GREEN (succeeded)

Click any node to inspect the full failure record -- root cause, suggested fix, confidence score, cost, and the exact code diff that resolved it.

---

Integrations

Works with any agent framework:

• OpenAI Agents SDK
• LangGraph
• CrewAI
• Claude Agent SDK
• Raw Python

ReLoop is the memory layer -- bring your own orchestration.
