That's a wrap on the @bot Community Engineering Hackathon in London, where cognee was one of the technology partners. 130 people checked in and built 49 projects for real community problems in one evening. Top 3: • Offpeak by Daniils Petrovs • After Glow by @lukadadiani • Lumap by Francesco Coccia Organised by @frankterpo, @lnv007 and @keanucz, with help from @benln and @sunrao. Venue partner • @Expedite_Now, made possible by William Schulz Technology partners • @supabase (Isabelle Roser) • cognee (@KovacVeljko & Luca Stromann) • @zero_gtm (Mariia Nedelkina) • @NotionHQ (Waseef Mohammad Khan) • SpaceXAI Community (@frankterpo) Community partners • @unicorn_mafia (@CharlieCheesma1) • @basedfounderseu (@fatemallk) • @kickstartldn (@ilyavencjuns) • Hackradar (Keanu) • @UKAIagents (@may_tohoku & Minghan Xiao) • @UseCorgi (@claudiaamaggi) • Night Office (Oli Kingshott & Shreyas Raghu) • @hackcollective (Louis) • United Italian Societies (@belluzzoumberto) • @outpostcrew (@Andy_AJT & @oscarfalll) • AI Pilled (Nuan Zhang & Yiran Qin) • @ICEntrepreneurs • Other (@ZakeeAbdi, @fergomg) Judges: Charlie, Fatema, May, Claudia, Shreyas, Louis, Umberto, Oscar, Andy, Nuan, @HelaHalas and Luca Food by Ambuca Bakery Thanks to everyone who joined. Looking forward to the next one!

@n8n_io hosted their first conference, In the Loop, in Berlin. It was an amazing event, and a pleasure to meet everyone who joined, talk to the organizations attending and have so many great chats with you. Thanks to the @n8n_io team for having us, and to everyone who stopped by. Looking forward to future collaborations!

Join our webinar on Wednesday 4 November. As soon as several agents and teams work on the same memory, permissions stop being an afterthought. Our founder and CEO @tricalt will show you how @cognee_ handles permissions for agent memory. Wednesday 4 November, 18:00 to 19:00 CET 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET Online, on Zoom For teams running AI agents on shared company data Register here:

A memory system can top a benchmark and still not help your agent finish its tasks. The benchmarks guide points to MemoryArena, which found that "systems performing well on benchmarks such as LoCoMo can still have low task-completion rates." Recall is not the same as useful recall. The useful test is the boring one: memory on vs memory off, on your own workload. DoorDash ran that test over a 7-day production window for its Ask DoorDash assistant and reported: • ~24% higher relative checkout conversion in grocery • ~15% higher relative conversion on restaurant-assistant queries • ~33% less likely to misunderstand user intent Public benchmarks are a sanity check. The number that matters is what your agent does differently with memory than without it.

RAG and agent memory get used as synonyms. They aren't. RAG reads from a corpus that someone else wrote: docs, a wiki, a product catalogue. The agent only reads. Agent memory starts when the agent writes back: → a preference the user mentioned → the outcome of a task it just finished → a correction someone made to its answer Writing back changes the problem. You now decide what is worth keeping. You merge the new fact with what's already stored, and you handle the old fact it contradicts. Cognee's agent memory guide puts it in one line: "The moment your system starts writing back — capturing facts, recording previous interactions, or storing the outcomes of its own work — you've moved beyond RAG into agentic memory." Read-only retrieval is a search problem. Read-write retrieval is a data-management problem. Read more here:

Four corners in the ring this Saturday: @Claude_Memory, @helixdb, cognee, and whatever memory setup you bring. Same scenarios for every system, results live. Mem-Off, San Francisco, Sat 17 Oct. Free:

Join us on Saturday, October 17 in San Francisco for Mem Off, the AI memory showdown with @Claude_Memory and @helixdb. Everyone claims their AI has memory. Bring yours and run it on the same scenarios as everyone else's. Free:

We're partnering with Briefcase and Stripe on this amazing hackathon in London next Thursday. Theme is: AI agents in fintech. Three hours to build an agent that handles real financial operations. Judges are: • Ján Stehlík (Briefcase) • Fionn O Colmain (Stripe) • Dominic Hudson (AI at Meta) • @davidgelberg (10 Downing Street AI Team) • @AkashBajwa96 (Earlybird) Thursday 15 October, 17:15 to 22:00 BST, Central London. Win a prize of £2,000. Free, apply here:

Join our webinar on Tuesday 22 Sep. Most AI rollouts stall in the same place: the agent has no access to what the company already knows. 45 minutes with @tricalt on building a company brain from @SlackHQ , @github , @linear and your @googledrive. 20:00 CEST Register:
