Overview

Temporal graph memory framework. Builds a bi-temporal knowledge graph from agent conversations, tracking when each fact was learned and when it was true. Powers Zep's hosted offering.

Stack & relationships

How Graphiti (Zep) relates to other entries in the catalog — recommended pairings, alternatives, dependencies, and edges to avoid. Each edge carries a one-line operator note from our editorial team.

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.

Depends on

  • Depends on
    Neo4j GraphRAG

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

Pros

  • Native bi-temporal model — facts have valid_from/valid_to
  • Strong contradiction detection
  • Apache 2.0

Cons

  • Newer than Mem0/Letta — less production folklore
  • Requires Neo4j or FalkorDB underneath
