Agent Memory
Zep
Temporal knowledge graph memory for agents.
Best when memory needs relationships, temporal context, and retrieval over evolving user or organization knowledge.
Use Zep when relationships between facts matter. If your only need is semantic search over docs, a vector database is simpler.
Best for
- temporal memory
- knowledge graphs
- agent recall
Not ideal for
- small prototypes that only need session history
- teams unwilling to model memory permissions
Core concepts

Minimal implementation shape
Write conversation facts into a session, let the memory layer extract relationships, then retrieve context before the next agent action.
