Honcho is an open source memory library with a managed service for building stateful agents. Use it with any model, framework, or architecture. It enables agents to build and maintain state about any entity--users, agents, groups, ideas, and more. And because it's a continual learning system, it understands entities that change over time. Using Honcho as your memory system will earn your agents higher retention, more trust, and help you build data moats to out-compete incumbents. Honcho has defined the Pareto Frontier of Agent Memory.
