Author here. I built this because I was using ChromaDB for an AI agent's memory and recall quality went to garbage at ~5k memories. The agent kept recalling outdated facts, contradicting itself across sessions, and the context window was full of redundant near-duplicates.

I tried to write the consolidation/conflict-detection logic on top of ChromaDB. It didn't work — the operations need to be transactional with the vector index, and they need an HLC for ordering across nodes. So I built it as a database.

The cognitive operations (think, consolidate, detect_conflicts, derive_personality) are the actual differentiator. The clustered server is what made me confident enough to ship — I needed to know the data was safe before I'd put real work on it.

What I genuinely want to know: is this solving a problem you're hitting with your AI agent's memory, or did I build a really polished thing for my own narrow use case? Honest reactions help more than encouragement.

I've bookmarked this. I'll let you know what I find over the next few weeks.

I'm in the middle of building an agent harness and I haven't had to deal with long-running memory issues yet, but I will have to deal with it soon.
