TeleAI-UAGI/Awesome-Agent-Memory

🧠 Awesome Agent Memory

A curated map of memory for AI agents — the systems, benchmarks, and research that give LLM and multimodal agents long-term context, persistent recall, and the ability to improve from experience.

👀 Open-source resources (e.g. papers with reproducible code publicly available on Github) are marked in bold font and ranked higher.

📋 How this list is curated

• Open-source products are ordered by GitHub star count — an objective, CI-checked popularity signal, not a quality ranking or an endorsement. Products with fewer than 100 stars sit in a collapsed Emerging projects section and graduate into the main list once they cross that threshold.
• Bold marks resources with reproducible code publicly available.
• Descriptions are factual, not promotional (see the contributing guide).
• This list is maintained by Bloo-Mind AI and the Ubiquitous AGI team at TeleAI. Entries affiliated with the maintainers are marked with † and follow the same ranking, format, and style rules as every other entry. One convention applies to all entries regardless of affiliation: an API-compatible drop-in replacement for a listed product is nested under that product as an unranked sub-item rather than given its own star-ranked position.
• Projects that are inactive, archived, or whose claims are disputed move to the Archival subsection with a neutral status label, links to the evidence, and the date the status was last checked.
