YourMemory Overview

YourMemory provides AI agents with a persistent, self-improving memory system that mimics human memory processes. It consolidates related facts into summaries, applies an Ebbinghaus forgetting curve for decay and pruning, and uses a hybrid retrieval method combining BM25, vector search, and an entity graph for multi-hop reasoning. It supports multi-agent team memory pools, tamper-evident audit trails, and runs locally without requiring API keys, making it suitable for applications needing durable, sharable, and privacy-preserving memory.
