LycheeMem vs YourMemory
LycheeMem: LycheeMem is a compact memory framework for LLM agents that organizes memory into working, semantic, and procedural stores. It features a four-stage pipeline (WMManager, SearchCoordinator, SynthesizerAgent, ReasoningAgent) with a background ConsolidatorAgent, and supports multi-channel retrieval (FTS, vector, tag, temporal). It integrates via API, OpenClaw plugin, and MCP protocol.; YourMemory: YourMemory is an MCP-compatible memory server for AI agents that mimics human memory with biological decay. Important facts persist, outdated ones fade, and a graph layer keeps related memories alive. It achieves 59% Recall@5 on the LoCoMo-10 benchmark and can be installed with just two commands.
TL;DR
- You are building your own agent and want a memory framework with working, semantic and procedural stores.
- You prefer light storage: SQLite with FTS5 plus a LanceDB vector index, with no Neo4j.
- You want typed, action-aware records, including a tool_affordance type for what a tool can do and when to use it.
- You want something stable today: the project has been open source only since March 2026, so APIs may change.
- You want zero extra model cost: memory extraction and retrieval use LLM and embedding calls.
- You expect the action-aware and reinforcement-learning parts to be finished: the README describes them as a direction.
