YourMemory FAQs

Question 1

What is YourMemory and how does it benefit AI agents?

Accepted Answer

YourMemory is a biologically-inspired persistent memory system for AI agents, designed to mimic human memory. It helps AI agents recall important information more effectively, prune outdated facts automatically, and understand complex relationships between memories, leading to superior performance and context awareness in LLMs.

Question 2

How does YourMemory's Ebbinghaus forgetting curve work?

Accepted Answer

YourMemory uses the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to adaptively decay memories based on their category (e.g., 'strategy' vs. 'failure') and importance. Frequently recalled memories gain boosts, while irrelevant ones fade and are pruned, ensuring memory remains relevant and efficient without manual intervention.

Question 3

What makes YourMemory's recall superior to other systems?

Accepted Answer

YourMemory combines a hybrid Vector + Graph Engine for comprehensive context retrieval. It demonstrated +16pp better recall than Mem0 on LoCoMo benchmarks and achieved 100% stale memory precision, thanks to its intelligent decay, graph-based context expansion, and chain-aware pruning mechanisms.

Question 4

Can YourMemory be used with multiple AI agents, and how is access controlled?

Accepted Answer

Yes, YourMemory supports multi-agent setups. Agents can have shared or private memories, with configurable visibility and access control based on API keys. This allows for isolated private context while enabling seamless sharing of common knowledge among different AI agents.

Question 5

Is YourMemory difficult to set up?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. YourMemory boasts a zero-infrastructure setup, utilizing DuckDB, local embeddings, and NLP. A simple 'pip install' and 'yourmemory-setup' command are typically all that's needed to integrate it with MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Code, Cline, and Cursor.
