Memora Overview

Memora provides a persistent memory layer for AI agents using structured storage with SQLite or cloud databases (S3, R2, D1). It supports semantic and hybrid search with vector embeddings, advanced queries, and automatic linking of related memories. The server includes tools for memory automation, knowledge graph visualization, and a chat interface for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Use it to give agents durable, searchable memory with cross-session context and cloud synchronization.
