dory vs klavis
dory: Dory is a local-first memory daemon that gives every AI agent the same brain. It uses Markdown as source of truth and SQLite as a disposable sidecar, providing a narrow API for agents to read and write shared memory. This eliminates the need to re-explain context across different tools like Claude, Codex, opencode, etc.; klavis: Klavis offers solutions like Strata for intelligent AI agent connectors, optimizing context windows, and MCP Integrations with over 100 prebuilt, OAuth-supported tools. It also provides an MCP Sandbox for scalable LLM training and reinforcement learning environments.
