hmem vs GraphMemory-IDE

hmem: hmem is a memory system for AI agents that persists project context across sessions, devices, and AI providers. It uses a 5-level lazy loading architecture to minimize token usage while retaining full details. It supports auto-logging, background checkpoints, and cross-platform sync.; GraphMemory-IDE: GraphMemory-IDE is an AI-assisted long-term memory system for IDEs, powered by Kuzu graph database. It provides semantic vector search, graph-based knowledge storage, and real-time analytics. It integrates with VSCode, Cursor, and Windsurf via MCP protocol.
