## Why Dakera?
| **LoCoMo accuracy** | **87.8%** (1,540 Q standard eval) | 60–92% |
| **Deployment** | Single binary, Docker one-liner | External vector DB + embedding service required |
| **Embeddings** | Built-in — no OpenAI key needed | Requires external embedding API |
| **Search modes** | Vector · BM25 · Hybrid · Knowledge Graph | Usually one or two |
| **Transport** | HTTP (reqwest) + gRPC (tonic), zero-copy | HTTP only |

## Run Dakera
```bash
docker run -d \
--name dakera \
-p 3300:3300 \
-e DAKERA_ROOT_API_KEY=dk-mykey \
ghcr.io/dakera-ai/dakera:latest
curl http://localhost:3300/health # → {"status":"ok"}
```
For persistent storage with Docker Compose:
```bash
curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dakera-AI/dakera-deploy/main/docker-compose.yml \
-o docker-compose.yml
DAKERA_API_KEY=dk-mykey docker compose up -d
```

## Install
```toml
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
dakera-client = "0.11"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
serde_json = "1"
```
Feature flags:
| `http-client` | ✅ | Async HTTP via `reqwest` |
| `grpc` | — | gRPC transport with connection pooling via `tonic` |
| `full` | — | Both HTTP and gRPC |
For gRPC (lower latency in high-throughput workloads):
```toml
dakera-client = { version = "0.11", features = ["grpc"] }
```
---
## Quick Start
```rust
use dakera_client::{DakeraClient, StoreMemoryRequest, RecallRequest};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let client = DakeraClient::builder("http://localhost:3300")
.api_key("dk-mykey")
.build()?;
// Store an agent memory
let mem = client.store_memory(StoreMemoryRequest {
agent_id: "my-agent".to_string(),
content: "User prefers concise responses with code examples".to_string(),
importance: Some(0.9),
..Default::default()
}).await?;
println!("Stored: {}", mem.memory_id);
// Recall memories (semantic search)
let response = client.recall(RecallRequest {
agent_id: "my-agent".to_string(),
query: "what does the user prefer?".to_string(),
top_k: Some(5),
..Default::default()
}).await?;
for m in &response.memories {
println!("[{:.2}] {}", m.importance, m.content);
}
// Upsert vectors
client.upsert("my-namespace", dakera_client::UpsertRequest {
vectors: vec![dakera_client::Vector {
id: "vec1".to_string(),
values: vec![0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
metadata: None,
}],
}).await?;
// Hybrid search (vector + BM25)
let results = client.hybrid_search("my-namespace", "completed task", 5).await?;
for r in &results.results {
println!("{}: {:.3}", r.id, r.score);
}
Ok(())
}
```

## Features
- **Agent Memory** — store, recall, search, and forget memories with importance scoring
- **Sessions** — group memories by conversation with auto-consolidation on session end
- **Knowledge Graph** — traverse memory relationships, find paths, export graphs
- **Vector Search** — ANN queries with metadata filters and batch operations
- **Full-Text Search** — BM25 ranking with stemming and stop-word filtering
- **Hybrid Search** — combine vector similarity with keyword matching
- **Text Auto-Embedding** — server-side embedding generation (no local model needed)
- **Namespaces** — isolated vector stores per project, tenant, or use case
- **Feedback Loop** — upvote/downvote/flag memories to improve recall quality
- **Entity Extraction** — GLiNER NER for automatic entity detection
- **SSE Streaming** — Server-sent event subscriptions with auto-reconnect
- **Dual Transport** — HTTP (default) and gRPC with connection pooling
- **Typed Filters** — `filter::eq()`, `filter::gt()`, `filter::contains()` DSL
- **`From<T>` for FusionStrategy** — ergonomic enum conversions, idiomatic Rust API
- **Retry & Rate Limiting** — built-in exponential backoff and rate-limit header tracking
- **Builder Pattern** — fluent `DakeraClientBuilder` for configuration
