An AI memory system with biological decay, using the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and a graph layer over a vector store.

A solution to improve RAG setups by managing context as a 'living substrate,' reducing token costs and degraded reasoning caused by static memory. Achieves 52% Recall@5 (nearly double stateless vector stores) and cuts token waste by roughly 84%.

This directly addresses critical limitations in current RAG systems, offering substantial improvements in efficiency and accuracy for enterprise AI applications. The biological decay mechanism and graph layer mitigate high token costs, context window saturation, and the 'logical neighbor' problem...

SQL analyst agent that models the iterative loop of data analysis.

Differentiates from most text-to-SQL tools by focusing on the iterative nature of analysis (exploring schema, running queries, adjusting, refining) rather than just generating a query.

This SQL analyst agent addresses a fundamental limitation of current text-to-SQL solutions: their failure to support the iterative, exploratory nature of real data analysis. By modeling the entire analytical loop—schema exploration, query generation, refinement—it moves beyond mere query synthesi...
