Three open-source AI agent memory frameworks—Mem0, Letta, and Zep—offer distinct approaches to memory management. Mem0 provides a universal CRUD API for vector embeddings, suitable for simple integrations into existing agents. Letta functions as a stateful agent operating system, managing memory in tiered levels that the agent can modify. Zep utilizes a temporal knowledge graph to store facts and their relationships, enabling time-aware queries. The choice among them depends on specific agent needs, such as simple storage, self-managing state, or temporal reasoning, with each framework having unique integration, format, and retrieval models.
