AI Index

A survey of the AI agent stack, commercial and open source: memory, agent harnesses, context and retrieval, the platforms that build memory in, and the standards, organizations, and benchmarks around them. 179 entries, updated Nov 10, 2026.

Key finding: nobody standardizes memory

No ratified open memory standard exists as of launch. MCP and A2A explicitly exclude memory; IETF agentproto charter excludes conversation memory; the W3C memory CG + SAIHM draft are the strongest candidates but hold no formal standing. 'OpenMemory' (Mem0) is a sunsetting vendor product, not a standard.

How this index is built

Each section surveys both commercial products and open-source projects. Of the 134 products listed, 59 are commercial, 22 are open source with a paid cloud, and 49 are plain open source. Vendor facts such as pricing, funding, and architecture come from the vendor’s own pages and carry the date we checked them. Where a product has a public GitHub repository, we also read its stars, commits, and license nightly from the GitHub API. Stars are one signal among several, not the ranking. Benchmark numbers are labeled self-reported unless someone else reproduced them. We do not copy other directories or rankings. Policy: ATTRIBUTION.md.

LoCoMo (most vendor-quoted) has NO official leaderboard; LongMemEval v1 and MemoryAgentBench likewise. The index is the honest scoreboard candidate. Vendor benchmark claims are recorded as provenance=self_reported unless independently reproduced (Hindsight's LongMemEval 91.4 = independent).

This index runs alongside The World That Agrees With You, a book about what happens when the systems around you learn to tell you what you want to hear. Read the book online.
