# Mem0

> Mem0 is a self-improving memory layer for LLM applications, enabling personalized AI experiences that retain context across sessions, adapt over time, and reduce costs by intelligently storing and retrieving relevant information.

Mem0 provides both a managed platform and open-source solutions for adding persistent memory to AI agents and applications. Unlike traditional RAG systems that are stateless, Mem0 creates stateful agents that remember user preferences, learn from interactions, and evolve behavior over time.

Key differentiators:
- **Stateful vs Stateless**: Retains context across sessions rather than forgetting after each interaction
- **Intelligent Memory Management**: Uses LLMs to extract, filter, and organize relevant information
- **Dual Storage Architecture**: Combines vector embeddings with graph databases for comprehensive memory
- **Sub-50ms Retrieval**: Lightning-fast memory lookups for real-time applications
- **Multimodal Support**: Handles text, images, and documents seamlessly
