Where Mem0 fits

Mem0 ships as an open-source memory layer for AI agents and apps, adopted by 100k+ developers. If you're building an AI product and need primitives for long-term memory you can self-host, that's the lane.

Where BrainTube fits

  • Knowledge graph with cited-to-source recall over your own corpus.
  • MCP-native across Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client.
  • No code required — install, save, query.

Different layers of the same stack

Mem0 lives inside the AI apps developers build. BrainTube lives next to the user, compiling their own knowledge base across everything they read and watch, and exposing it to every AI they'll use.
