Zep vs StremAI
Zep and StremAI make different scoping choices. Zep provides temporal knowledge-graph memory with strong enterprise compliance; its MCP memory server is per-user — Zep's launch post states that 'each user reaches only their own context' — and rolls out on enterprise plans with identity-provider sign-in. StremAI is designed for team memory: what one engineer's connected agent learns, teammates' connected agents can recall, governed by roles, provenance, and revocation, and free to start. If you need per-user isolated memory under enterprise SSO, evaluate Zep. If you want your team's coding agents to share what they learn, that's StremAI's design center.

Markdown versionWhat Zep is great at
Zep provides temporal knowledge-graph memory with a serious enterprise posture. Graphiti is well regarded, and Zep presents compliance and identity-provider sign-in for enterprise buyers.
If you need per-user isolated memory under enterprise SSO, Zep is a real option to evaluate.
The gap, as scope
Zep's own launch post says each user reaches only their own context and that one user's connection can never read another user's memory or another project.
StremAI makes a different team-scoped choice: what one engineer agent learns can be recalled by teammates connected to the same governed project.
Using both
The products usually point at different buyers. Zep fits per-user enterprise memory and platform builders. StremAI fits teams that want coding agents to share learned project context.
Use the scoping decision as the deciding question: should memories stay isolated per user, or should a team govern and share them?
When you don't need StremAI
If your requirement is strict per-user memory isolation with enterprise identity-provider sign-in, evaluate Zep first.
Skip it if you use one AI tool, in one repository, on one machine, and its built-in memory plus a CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file covers you; you work solo and are happy hand-curating notes into instruction files; or you want fully local, self-managed infrastructure. Open-source MCP memory servers are a reasonable choice if you prefer running your own. StremAI earns its place when agents span multiple tools, machines, or teammates, and when you want memory that is shared, attributed, and user-controlled without operating the layer yourself.

Zep vs Mem0 vs StremAI?
Zep emphasizes temporal knowledge-graph memory and enterprise posture. Mem0 emphasizes memory APIs for builders. StremAI emphasizes hosted shared memory for teams using coding agents.
What is team-shared memory for AI agents?
Team-shared memory means a useful lesson stored by one connected agent can be recalled later by teammates connected to the same governed project.
What is Zep MCP server pricing or access?
Fable source-checking found Zep describes MCP memory as rolling out to Enterprise plan customers and lists a Flex paid self-serve floor on its pricing page. Check Zep current docs before buying.
Per-user vs team agent memory?
Per-user memory isolates each user context. Team memory intentionally shares selected context across teammates through roles, provenance, grants, and revocation.
