Multi-source context graph
Ingest chat, business data, user interactions, and documents into a temporal context graph that organizes people, things, relationships, and changes over time.
Zep
RivendicaZep is an AI agent memory platform for storing and retrieving context from chats, business data, and documents with temporal context graphs. Credit plans and enterprise deployment options available.
Overview
Zep is an agent memory platform for AI systems that need to store, update, and retrieve context across chats, business data, and documents. It builds temporal context graphs so agents can work with relevant memory instead of raw message history.
The product is positioned for enterprise use, with managed cloud deployment, VPC and BYOK options, and controls for access, retention, and audit. Zep also describes credit-based self-serve plans alongside an Enterprise plan with custom credits, negotiated rates, and a guaranteed SLA.
Features
Smart context assembly
Assemble token-efficient context from the graph so agents can retrieve relevant memory without manually stitching together sources.
Temporal invalidation
When new information conflicts with an existing fact, Zep invalidates the older fact and preserves history for past-date queries.
Observations from memory patterns
Surface Observations from graph patterns, such as recurring behaviors or co-occurrences, to give agents a broader view than individual facts alone.
Governance and audit controls
Apply access control, retention rules, and audit logs at the substrate level across graphs, queries, and layers.
Deployment flexibility
Choose managed cloud, your VPC, or your own keys through cloud deployment options designed for enterprise environments.
Use cases
Personalized assistant memory
Store recurring user preferences, past decisions, and ongoing relationships so an assistant can retrieve the right context before responding.
Customer operations context
Ingest product, account, and operational data alongside chats so support or success agents can answer with current account context.
Temporal reasoning over changing data
Track changes in facts over time, such as preference shifts or updated business status, while preserving older states for audit or review.
Enterprise governed agent context
Assemble governed context for large-scale agent deployments where access rules, retention, and audit trails must be applied consistently.
Pattern and observation analysis
Surface repeated patterns and co-occurrences from memory graphs to support planning, recommendations, or account analysis.
