CogniMemo - Universal AI Memory#

CogniMemo provides persistent, intelligent memory for AI applications. Unlike session-based memory that disappears, CogniMemo stores, understands, and learns from interactions over time.

Why CogniMemo?#

• Cross-app memory - Same memory across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek
• Model-agnostic - Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Ollama
• Auto-captured - Decides what matters, no manual organization
• Permission-based - Users control what each app can access
• Simple API - REST API, SDKs, LangChain adapters

How It Works#

1. Memory Auto-Captured#

CogniMemo captures from:

• Chat conversations
• Documents and links
• Tasks, decisions, notes
• User actions

2. AI Understands Context#

Extracts:

• Entities (people, places, things)
• Relationships
• Patterns and habits
• Temporal context

3. Permission-Based Access#

• Apps see only approved memory types
• Users can revoke access anytime
• Scoped by permission level

Quick Start#

Step 1: Get API Key#

1. Go to https://cognimemo.com
2. Create account
3. Generate API key from dashboard
4. Add to environment:

bash

COGNIMEMO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Step 2: Install SDK#

bash

# Python
pip install cognimemo

# Node.js
npm install @cognimemo/sdk

Step 3: Initialize Client#

python

from cognimemo import CogniMemo

# Initialize with API key
memory = CogniMemo(api_key="your-api-key")

# Or from environment
memory = CogniMemo()  # Uses COGNIMEMO_API_KEY

Core Operations#

Store Memory#

python

# Store a conversation
memory.store(
    user_id="user-123",
    content="User prefers Portuguese language responses",
    metadata={
        "type": "preference",
        "source": "chat",
        "confidence": 0.9
    }
)

# Store a decision
memory.store(
    user_id="user-123",
    content="Decided to use React for the frontend project",
    metadata={
        "type": "decision",
        "project": "web-app",
        "timestamp": "2026-03-16"
    }
)

# Store a task
memory.store(
    user_id="user-123",
    content="Need to prepare quarterly report by Friday",
    metadata={
        "type": "task",
        "deadline": "2026-03-20",
        "priority": "high"
    }
)

Retrieve Memory#

python

# Semantic search
results = memory.search(
    user_id="user-123",
    query="What are the user's preferences?",
    limit=10
)

# Get specific type
preferences = memory.get_by_type(
    user_id="user-123",
    memory_type="preference"
)

# Get recent
recent = memory.get_recent(
    user_id="user-123",
    hours=24
)

Update Memory#

python

# Update existing memory
memory.update(
    memory_id="mem-456",
    content="User prefers concise Portuguese responses",
    metadata={"confidence": 1.0}
)

# Add context to existing memory
memory.append(
    memory_id="mem-456",
    additional_context="Also prefers bullet points over paragraphs"
)

Delete Memory#

python

# Delete specific memory
memory.delete(memory_id="mem-456")

# Clear all memories for a user
memory.clear(user_id="user-123")

# Clear by type
memory.clear(user_id="user-123", memory_type="task")

Memory Types#

TypeDescriptionExamplepreferenceUser preferences"Prefers dark mode"decisionDecisions made"Chose PostgreSQL for database"taskTasks to remember"Finish report by Friday"factFactual information"Works at Acme Corp"contextSession context"Currently working on API integration"patternBehavioral patterns"Usually works late on Tuesdays"

Permission Scopes#

python

# Request specific permissions
auth_url = memory.get_auth_url(
    scopes=["preferences", "decisions", "tasks"],
    redirect_uri="https://your-app.com/callback"
)

# Check user permissions
permissions = memory.get_permissions(user_id="user-123")
# Returns: {"preferences": True, "decisions": True, "tasks": False}

Integration with AI Models#

OpenAI / ChatGPT#

python

import openai
from cognimemo import CogniMemo

memory = CogniMemo()
user_id = "user-123"

# Get relevant context
context = memory.search(
    user_id=user_id,
    query="User preferences and recent decisions",
    limit=5
)

# Build prompt with memory
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": f"Context: {context}"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Help me with my project"}
]

response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=messages
)

# Store important info from conversation
memory.store(
    user_id=user_id,
    content="User asked about React component library",
    metadata={"type": "context", "session": "current"}
)

Anthropic / Claude#

python

import anthropic
from cognimemo import CogniMemo

memory = CogniMemo()
user_id = "user-123"

# Get memory context
context = memory.search(
    user_id=user_id,
    query="User preferences",
    limit=10
)

client = anthropic.Anthropic()
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    max_tokens=1024,
    system=f"Remember: {context}",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What should I work on?"}]
)

LangChain Integration#

python

from langchain.memory import CogniMemoMemory
from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

# Use CogniMemo as LangChain memory
memory = CogniMemoMemory(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    user_id="user-123"
)

chain = ConversationChain(
    llm=OpenAI(),
    memory=memory
)

# Memory automatically stored and retrieved
response = chain.predict(input="What did we discuss last time?")

OpenClaw Integration#

python

# In OpenClaw skill or agent
from cognimemo import CogniMemo

class CogniMemoTool:
    """Tool for OpenClaw agents to access persistent memory."""

    def __init__(self, user_id: str):
        self.memory = CogniMemo()
        self.user_id = user_id

    def remember(self, content: str, memory_type: str = "context"):
        """Store something in memory."""
        self.memory.store(
            user_id=self.user_id,
            content=content,
            metadata={"type": memory_type}
        )
        return f"Remembered: {content}"

    def recall(self, query: str):
        """Search memory for relevant information."""
        results = self.memory.search(
            user_id=self.user_id,
            query=query,
            limit=10
        )
        return results

    def get_preferences(self):
        """Get user preferences."""
        return self.memory.get_by_type(
            user_id=self.user_id,
            memory_type="preference"
        )

Storage Backends#

CogniMemo supports multiple storage layers:

BackendBest ForPineconeVector similarity searchWeaviateHybrid searchPostgreSQLRelational queriesRedisFast retrieval

Configure via environment:

bash

COGNIMEMO_STORAGE=pinecone  # or weaviate, postgres, redis
COGNIMEMO_PINECONE_API_KEY=your-key
COGNIMEMO_PINECONE_ENV=us-west1-gcp

Best Practices#

1. Store Wisely#

python

# Good: Specific, structured memory
memory.store(
    user_id="user-123",
    content="User prefers dark mode in code editors",
    metadata={"type": "preference", "category": "ui"}
)

# Bad: Vague, unstructured
memory.store(user_id="user-123", content="user likes stuff")

2. Search Effectively#

python

# Use semantic queries
results = memory.search(
    user_id="user-123",
    query="What editor preferences does the user have?",
    limit=5
)

3. Respect Privacy#

python

# Check permissions before storing
if memory.has_permission(user_id, "preferences"):
    memory.store(...)
