# Acknowledgements
zkr was informed by the following projects and research:
- [Omi](https://github.com/BasedHardware/omi), for source-backed personal memory lifecycle and user control.
- [rs_gbrain](https://github.com/undivisible/rs_gbrain), for practical SQLite FTS, typed edges, injected embeddings, and bounded retrieval packs.
- [Graphiti and Zep](https://github.com/getzep/graphiti), for temporal knowledge-graph modeling.
- [Mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0), for production-oriented extraction, consolidation, and retrieval evaluation.
- [HippoRAG](https://github.com/OSU-NLP-Group/HippoRAG), for graph-assisted multi-hop retrieval.
- [A-MEM](https://github.com/WujiangXu/A-mem), for evidence that reflection can evolve memory organization.
- [MemOS](https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS), for treating provenance and versioned memory as managed resources.
- [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) and [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw), for their native plugin boundaries.
These acknowledgements describe design influence. zkr remains an independent ISC-licensed implementation.
