About the project

Open-source AI memory platform for agents: turns documents, code, and conversations into a self-hosted knowledge graph agents can search and reuse across sessions. Runs locally on free small models with no API key required.

Useful for

Build a shared team memory from docs, tickets, and code to trace links between decisions
Give an agent long-term memory of past decisions and fixes across runs
Run a local knowledge graph from your own text without an LLM or API key via cognee-cli
