About Cortex Memory
Cortex Memory is an open source memory framework written in Rust for AI agents and autonomous systems, including OpenClaw. It gives these systems long-term memory that persists across sessions. The system extracts, organizes, and optimizes information through a three-tier structure (L0 Abstract, L1 Overview, L2 Detail) and a hybrid storage design that combines virtual-filesystem storage with vector-based semantic search.
The project offers access through a REST API, a command-line interface, the MCP protocol, and direct Rust library integration. Memory extraction relies on LLM-powered analysis, and vector search is performed through Qdrant. The homepage describes the project as production-ready, but this entry does not independently verify that claim. Pricing is unknown.
Key features
- Stores memory as markdown files under a cortex:// virtual URI scheme
- Extracts facts, decisions, and entities from conversations with confidence scoring
- Vector similarity search through Qdrant with metadata filtering by dimension
- Three-tier memory hierarchy for managing LLM context window usage
- Tenant-aware isolated memory spaces within a single deployment
- File watchers and auto-indexers for background processing and synchronization
Best for: Developers building LLM-powered chatbots, personalized AI assistants, or open source projects that need a memory component.
Good for
- Open source, with the source code available in a public GitHub repository
- Combines file-based storage with vector search for memory retrieval
- Provides REST API, CLI, MCP, and Rust library access
Watch out for
- Memory extraction depends on LLM-powered analysis
- Vector search is performed through Qdrant, which must be set up separately

Cortex Memory FAQ
How are memories organized?
Memories are organized under the cortex:// URI scheme across four dimensions: session, user, agent, and resources.
What handles vector search?
Vector-based semantic search is performed through Qdrant, with metadata filtering across user, agent, and session dimensions.
Can one deployment serve multiple users?
Yes. Multi-tenancy support keeps memory spaces for different users and agents isolated within a single deployment.
