TrueMemory

Active·★ 381·AGPL-3.0·Updated 2026-10-14

TrueMemory is a neuroscience-inspired persistent memory system for AI agents. It achieves state-of-the-art scores on LoCoMo, LongMemEval, and BEAM benchmarks while running entirely offline on a single SQLite file. The six-layer retrieval pipeline with an encoding gate filters noise and stores only meaningful information.

TrueMemory sits in the RAG / Knowledge Base category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Remembers everything across sessions – facts, preferences, decisions, corrections.. A representative use case is Personal AI assistant that remembers user preferences and history across conversations.. The listed license is AGPL-3.0. GitHub stars are currently 381. Relevant tags include agent-memory, ai.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
