🧠 MemOS Plugin: Persistent Memory for Your AI Agents ✨

👾 MemOS: Memory Operating System for LLM & AI Agents

MemOS is a Memory Operating System for LLMs and AI agents that unifies store / retrieve / manage for long-term memory, enabling context-aware and personalized interactions with KB, multi-modal, tool memory, and enterprise-grade optimizations built in.

Key Features

• Unified Memory API: A single API to add, retrieve, edit, and delete memory—structured as a graph, inspectable and editable by design, not a black-box embedding store.
• Multi-Modal Memory: Natively supports text, images, tool traces, and personas, retrieved and reasoned together in one memory system.
• Multi-Cube Knowledge Base Management: Manage multiple knowledge bases as composable memory cubes, enabling isolation, controlled sharing, and dynamic composition across users, projects, and agents.
• Asynchronous Ingestion via MemScheduler: Run memory operations asynchronously with millisecond-level latency for production stability under high concurrency.
• Memory Feedback & Correction: Refine memory with natural-language feedback—correcting, supplementing, or replacing existing memories over time.
