AgentKeeper

Cognitive persistence layer for AI agents.

Your agent's memory survives crashes, restarts, and provider switches.

import agentkeeper

agent = agentkeeper.create()
agent.remember("project budget: 50000 EUR", critical=True)
agent.remember("client: Acme Corporation", critical=True)

# Switch provider — memory survives
agent.switch_provider("anthropic")
response = agent.ask("What is the project budget?")
# → "The project budget is 50,000 EUR."

agent.save()
agent = agentkeeper.load("my-agent")

The problem

Every LLM call is stateless. When your agent switches providers, crashes, or restarts — it forgets everything.

Today:

Agent (GPT-4) → learns facts → crashes
Agent (Claude) → starts fresh → knows nothing

With AgentKeeper:

Agent (GPT-4) → learns facts → crashes
Agent (Claude) → resumes → 95% facts recovered

---

How it works

AgentKeeper introduces a Cognitive Reconstruction Engine (CRE) that sits between your agent and any LLM provider.

Your Agent
    ↓
AgentKeeper (CRE)        ← cognitive layer
    ↓       ↓       ↓       ↓
OpenAI  Anthropic  Gemini  Ollama  ← any provider

The CRE:

1. Stores facts independently of any provider
2. Prioritizes critical facts under token constraints
3. Reconstructs optimal context for each target model
4. Persists state to SQLite locally

This is not prompt engineering. It's a cognitive state layer that's provider-agnostic by design.

Benchmark

100 facts stored (20 critical)
Token budget: 2000 tokens
Cross-model: GPT-4 → Claude (and Claude → GPT-4)

Critical recovery: 19/20 = 95% (bidirectional)

Quickstart

import agentkeeper

# Create agent
agent = agentkeeper.create(agent_id="my-agent", provider="openai")

# Store memory
agent.remember("project budget: 50000 EUR", critical=True)
agent.remember("deadline: March 1 2025", critical=True)
agent.remember("meeting notes: discussed onboarding")

# Ask on OpenAI
response = agent.ask("What is the budget?", provider="openai")

# Switch to Anthropic — memory survives
response = agent.ask("What is the deadline?", provider="anthropic")

# Switch to Gemini — memory survives
response = agent.ask("Who is the client?", provider="gemini")

# Switch to local Ollama — memory survives
response = agent.ask("What is the tech stack?", provider="ollama")

# Persist
agent.save()

# Restore later
agent = agentkeeper.load("my-agent")

Supported providers

Provider	Model	Requires
openai	gpt-4-turbo	OPENAI_API_KEY
anthropic	claude-sonnet-4-5	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
gemini	gemini-1.5-pro	GEMINI_API_KEY
ollama	llama3	Ollama running locally
mock	—	Nothing (for testing)

---

API

agentkeeper.create(agent_id=None, provider="anthropic") → Agent
agentkeeper.load(agent_id) → Agent
agentkeeper.delete(agent_id)

agent.remember(content, critical=False) → Agent
agent.forget(fact_id) → Agent
agent.ask(question, provider=None, token_budget=4000) → str
agent.switch_provider(provider) → Agent
agent.save() → Agent
agent.stats(provider=None, token_budget=4000) → dict

---

Why not Temporal?

Temporal handles execution persistence — your workflow doesn't crash.

AgentKeeper handles cognitive persistence — your agent doesn't forget.

Different layers. Complementary.

Roadmap

• Cross-model memory continuity (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama)
• Critical fact prioritization under token constraints
• SQLite persistence
• Memory compression (v0.2)
• Semantic memory (embeddings)
• Multi-agent memory sharing
• Cloud sync
