Graphiti is a Python library and server framework for building temporal knowledge graphs that serve as persistent memory for AI agents. It ingests unstructured text episodes (messages, transcripts, JSON), uses LLMs to extract entities and relationships with bi-temporal validity windows, deduplicates against existing graph data, and provides hybrid search (semantic + BM25 + graph traversal) with configurable reranking. The codebase is structured around a clean driver abstraction (Neo4j, FalkorDB, Kuzu, Neptune) with per-provider operations classes, a prompt library supporting versioning and overrides, and a multi-provider LLM/embedder/cross-encoder client system. It is primarily an application library, though it includes evaluation infrastructure and research-grade deduplication algorithms (MinHash/LSH).

Zep is a long-term memory platform for AI agents, providing integration libraries for multiple agent frameworks (Google ADK, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, Pydantic AI, Vercel AI SDK, Mastra, LiveKit, Microsoft Agent Framework, Strands, AG2) across Python, TypeScript, and Go. The repository contains the core ingestion pipeline (zep-ingest) for bulk loading documents, Slack exports, emails, transcripts, and fact triples into Zep's temporal knowledge graph, an MCP server for direct graph access, benchmarks (LoCoMo, LongMemEval), and extensive examples. The architecture is a set of client libraries that communicate with the Zep Cloud API (external dependency). Key entry points include integration packages (e.g., zep_adk, zep_autogen), the ingestion pipeline (Pipeline, ingest functions), and the MCP server (cmd/server/main.go). Data flows: user messages are persisted to the Zep graph, context is retrieved and injected into agent prompts via hooks/callbacks or search tools. External dependencies: Zep Cloud API, optional LLM clients (OpenAI, Anthropic) for ingestion transforms and contextualization.
