Works with
- Works withNeo4j GraphRAG
Graphiti uses Neo4j as its graph store. The GraphRAG patterns Neo4j ships are upstream of how Graphiti structures memory.
Alternatives
- Competes withZep (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 toZep (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 onNeo4j 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
