Cognee is an open-source AI memory and knowledge graph platform that enables developers to build persistent, structured memory for AI agents and LLM applications. The platform provides a REST API and Python/TypeScript SDKs for ingesting documents and data from 28+ sources, processing them through a six-stage ECL (Extract, Cognify, Load) pipeline, and storing the resulting entities and relationships in a hybrid graph-vector-relational store. Developers can query the knowledge graph using 13+ search modes including semantic graph completion, RAG completion, and temporal search. Cognee is available as a managed cloud service on AWS, GCP, and Azure, or as a self-hosted deployment via Docker, Modal, Railway, Fly.io, and Render.
