Letta (formerly MemGPT) pioneered stateful, self-editing memory for an individual agent. MemClaw targets the layer above the single agent: governed memory shared across a fleet — multiple agents, teams, and vendors on one auditable plane, with an auto-extracted knowledge graph and contradiction handling built in.

Letta pioneered stateful, self-editing memory for an individual agent. MemClaw operates one layer up: governed memory shared across a fleet of agents, teams, and vendors, with an auto-extracted knowledge graph and contradiction handling built in.
Letta's memory lives inside a single agent's state. MemClaw is built for fleet-scoped shared memory, governed across many agents and tenants on one auditable plane.
Yes. MemClaw extracts entities and relations on every write and expands recall through graph hops. It also adds trust tiers, keystone policies, contradiction detection with supersession, and audit trails.
Yes. MemClaw and Letta are both Apache 2.0 licensed. MemClaw is self-hostable via Docker Compose or available as a managed service at memclaw.net.
Comparison reflects our reading of each project’s public documentation as of June 2026. Mem0, Zep, and Letta are solid projects for single-agent memory. Spot something out of date? Open an issue or PR and we’ll correct it.
