dory vs Audrey

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.; Audrey: Audrey is a persistent memory and continuity engine for AI agents, providing local-first storage via SQLite, MCP tools, REST API, and SDKs for JavaScript and Python. It offers durable recall, consolidation, contradiction handling, and benchmark gates without external infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with Claude Code and supports Docker deployment.
