Alaya

Alaya is an open source, neuroscience-inspired memory engine designed for AI agents and developers. It implements memory dynamics such as dual-strength decay, retrieval-induced forgetting, associative graph formation, and category emergence. Alaya distinguishes itself by offering an embeddable, zero-dependency Rust library and can also run as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, making it easy to add intelligent, structured, and efficient memory to any agent, chatbot, or application. Its hybrid architecture works with or without LLMs, ensuring cost-effective and adaptable memory for agentic workflows.
