  # OpenMemory: Real Long-Term Memory for AI Agents (Not RAG, Not a Vector DB)
  > **🚧 This project is currently being rewritten.** Expect breaking changes and potential bugs. However, OpenMemory is a real, self-hosted cognitive memory engine for LLMs and agents, offering true long-term memory beyond traditional RAG or vector database approaches.

• mediumreadme#2

  Integrate 'Not RAG, Not a Vector DB' more explicitly into the project's definition

  Why:

  CURRENT

  OpenMemory is a **cognitive memory engine** for LLMs and agents.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  OpenMemory is a **cognitive memory engine** for LLMs and agents, designed to provide real long-term memory that goes beyond traditional RAG or vector database implementations. It enables your AI applications to retain context and learn over time, making them truly stateful.
