- Do you need an account to use it? account required (10% of 20 others)
- By default, how do old or wrong memories mainly go away? they stay but are marked superseded (old facts are kept) (16% of 19 others)

- Is it actively maintained? active (67% of 21 others)
- How is it mainly sustained? company with a paid product, tier, or ads (75% of 20 others)
- Who is it for? developers (76% of 21 others)
- In the default setup, who mainly decides what gets remembered? the system, by extracting memories from conversations or data in the background (67% of 21 others)
- How can the person the memories are about see and edit them? only through developer APIs or a developer dashboard (62% of 21 others)
- Does it work with models from different LLM vendors? yes, model-agnostic (86% of 21 others)
- Is there a first-party MCP server for it? yes (67% of 21 others)
- How is memory separated between users or tenants? built-in scoping by user, agent, session, or tenant IDs (62% of 21 others)

| Who is it for? | developers | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which shared standard or format does it mainly build on? | none of these (its own format or interface) Graphiti on Zep's own graph database service (Konig). | source 2026-10-26 |
| In the default setup, who mainly decides what gets remembered? | the system, by extracting memories from conversations or data in the background Episodes (messages, data) are ingested and facts extracted into the graph. | source 2026-10-25 |
| How can the person the memories are about see and edit them? | only through developer APIs or a developer dashboard | source 2026-10-25 |
| By default, how do old or wrong memories mainly go away? | stands apart they stay but are marked superseded (old facts are kept) Graphiti bi-temporal model: facts are invalidated, not deleted. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Where do memories live in the default setup the docs lead with? | in the vendor's cloud | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does it work with models from different LLM vendors? | yes, model-agnostic Model choice for extraction is Zep's; works with any agent model. | source 2026-10-25 |
| What is the main storage model for long-term memory? | knowledge graph (usually with vectors alongside) | source 2026-10-25 |
| What shape does it mainly take (the one its docs lead with)? | memory service (self-hosted server or hosted API) | source 2026-10-25 |
