Graphiti (Zep) ↔ ecosystem

Works with

Works with
Neo4j GraphRAG
Graphiti uses Neo4j as its graph store. The GraphRAG patterns Neo4j ships are upstream of how Graphiti structures memory.

Alternatives

Competes with
Zep (memory platform)
Both store memory as temporal knowledge graphs. Zep is a hosted product with a strong API; Graphiti is OSS with deeper Neo4j integration. Pick Zep for fast wiring; Graphiti for full local control.
Alternative to
Zep (memory platform)
OSS counterpart to Zep with similar temporal-graph design. Pick Graphiti when full local control + Neo4j integration matters; pick Zep when you want managed infra.
