Basic Memory

Agents are just notes in your knowledge base with `type: agent`.

Here's a video about our Basic Memory Agents. We took a different approach to managed agents. Agents are just notes in your knowledge base with `type: agent`. You can define when and how they run. Agents can run automatically or via your harness with MCP. All changes are versioned and reviewable. See a diff of changes and accept or rollback. Agents use DeepSeek v4.1 so they are very inexpensive to run. You can see detailed usage and control costs. This is our answer to "dreaming" for AI memory. You control how your memory curates itself, and it just happens. No magic, no surprises.

basicmemory.com/blog/context… Some context about getting to our 1.0 release. Basic Memory Cloud is 1 year old. (Holy smokes!) BM is leaving beta. (1.0 baby!!) We're introducing usage-based pricing. (No change for most of you, and a real path for heavy users.) We're introducing Memory Agents. (Knowledge base management made easy!) Paul is finally full-time at Basic Memory. (Somehow he is even busier.)

After a year of work, we have released Basic Memory v1.0. Lots of changes, both in the local Open Source version and the hosted cloud service. youtube.com/watch?v=p2Xpmk9b…

Couldn't resist and Used Opus 5.5 to main an explainer about Basic Memory

This 1000% I’ll propose that many, if not most people, want AI systems not that replace us, but that act as tools for augmenting our own intelligence, much like other transformative technologies such as personal computers, smart phones, and the internet itself. Perhaps we want AI systems that are designed and trained to be more interpretable, whose architecture, weights, and training data are available for examination, so at least the experts among us can understand them better, and that operate in a safe, predictable, and consistent manner. Perhaps we want AI systems to be tested by independent evaluators, and for companies to be held accountable if their AI products are not safe and do not operate as intended, either due to negligence on part of the company or due to training that promotes unintended behavior... But perhaps most challenging of all, such proposals would require reimagining what AI is. It would require moving away from misleading anthropomorphic metaphors and narratives of inevitability, leaving behind “rogue AI agents” and embracing our own human agency to decide what we want AI to do for us. It might even require abandoning the seemingly hopeless project of “AI alignment”—teaching machines to be “good”—and embracing the idea that AI’s proper role is not as a moral agent, but as a set of tools to enhance human thriving. - Melanie Mitchell aiguide.substack.com/p/misle…

The Basic Memory newsletter has our take on the Hugging Face incident. basicmemory.com/blog/agents-…

Today's message to Claude: remember: think PEP-8 style. follow the zen of python Here's to hoping it works.

We made a video showing our Basic Memory interactive mcp app. We started calling it "Pocketbook" internally, because its like a pocket sized version of your notes you can view and edit. docs.basicmemory.com/cloud/m…
