What is cognee?
cognee is an open-source semantic memory layer for AI agents, built on vector and graph databases. It constructs knowledge graphs from retrieved data, enabling AI apps and agents to deliver accurate, context-aware responses.
Problem
Users currently manually integrate vector and graph databases for AI agents, leading to fragmented data structures, complex maintenance, and delayed context-aware responses.
Solution
An open-source semantic memory layer tool enabling AI agents to construct knowledge graphs via 5 lines of code, combining vector search and graph relationships for contextual reasoning.
Customers
AI engineers, developers building autonomous agents, and teams creating RAG applications requiring structured knowledge retrieval.
Unique Features
Combines vector + graph databases in one package, auto-generates knowledge graphs from unstructured data, and enables multi-hop reasoning for AI agents.
