AgentMem

Local-first memory infrastructure for AI agents. AgentMem gives tools like Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenClaw, Hermes, local coding agents and autonomous scripts a structured way to persist memory between runs.

Instead of losing context every session or scattering state across JSON files, temp folders, prompts, and shell history, AgentMem provides a clean shared memory layer.

Why AgentMem Exists

Most AI tools today are stateless.

That means they repeatedly need to rediscover:

• what project this is
• where files live
• coding conventions
• current task status
• prior fixes
• known bugs
• open decisions
• team notes

That wastes:

• tokens
• time
• API cost
• focus
• context window space

AgentMem fixes that.

Core Benefits

Persistent Memory

Store useful project context between sessions.

Local-First

Your memory stays on your machine.

Fast CLI

Simple commands that agents and humans can both use.

Structured Namespaces

Organize memory cleanly.
