guild vs remindb

guild: guild is a compiled Go binary with an MCP server backed by embedded SQLite, providing shared context, memory, and task coordination for AI coding agents. It allows multiple agents across different editors to share state safely using atomic locks. State persists locally and includes hybrid search (BM25+vector).; remindb: remindb stores agentic memory in a single SQLite file. It parses notes into a structured tree with temperature tracking, enables efficient retrieval via FTS5 search, and supports versioning and summarization. This reduces token costs compared to re-reading raw files every session.
