Key Features
  • • Temporal Knowledge Graph
  • • Context Engineering
  • • Graph RAG
  • • Memory, RAG, and extraction through one API
  • • Supermemory MCP for exposing memory to compatible tools
  • • Connectors for Google Drive, Notion, and OneDrive on Pro

💡 Our Take

Choose Supermemory if you need a complete memory graph (not just partial), consumer plugins, document extractors, and an open eval platform — capabilities Zep does not offer per Supermemory's own comparison. Choose Zep if you are already committed to its temporal knowledge graph approach and your use case is narrowly focused on conversational memory for chatbots.
