SMFS: making agentic retrieval 55% cheaper AND more accurate

We launched SMFS.ai (Supermemory Filesystem) a few weeks ago, with a simple bet: We can redesign the filesystem specifically for agents, with special files, structures, and commands that it can use for it's tasks. Today, SMFS is used by hundreds of companies to power their agents. TLDR: You can rea

Introducing Dynamic Dreaming: supermemory now connects the dots, for you.

Dreaming is magical. TLDR: We're launching Dynamic Dreaming in supermemory today, which automatically works if you're using supermemory in any way - API, OpenClaw, Hermes agent, etc. We (humans) dream to condense and reflect on our thoughts, not only things that happened today, but a weird blend o

Dear reader, we just made supermemory insanely cheap... the Context Cloud

When I first started building supermemory, I had one goal: To build the best memory system for AI. I would talk to customers, and find out that memory was not the only thing they needed - They were all setting up 7-8 different vendors at the same time. Memory, Retrieval, Profiles, reranking, embedd

Introducing @supermemory/tools v2.0.0

Today we're releasing v2.0.0. This release unifies the API across all agents sdk integrations from AI SDK to Mastra, makes conversation identity a first-class concept, and ships with memory saving on by default. What's new in v2.0.0: * Unified config-object API * customId: required conversation

Solving the Precision-Recall Tradeoff: Search Result Aggregation

When you're building memory for AI, search is your foundational layer. The way search generally works is straightforward: the user defines a query, and then sets a limit (top-K) on how many search results they want returned. Usually, this is set to 10 or 20. Once the request hits the server, a resp

Infinitely running stateful coding agents

We built a plugin for Claude Code and OpenCode that gives your coding agent persistent memory. It remembers your preferences, learns your codebase, and never loses context mid-conversation. The result is an agent you can run for months without starting over. Here's how it works, in the order you'll

Empowering the Next Generation of Founders: Supermemory Startup Program

If there’s one thing we’ve learned while building Supermemory, it’s that most startups don’t fail because they didn't build features; they fail when infrastructure slows them down, or they built too slow. Modern AI teams are forced to solve the same problem again and again: how to make their produc

Building code-chunk: AST Aware Code Chunking

At Supermemory, we're building context engineering infrastructure for AI. A huge part of that is dealing with code: ingesting repos, understanding structure, and making it searchable. The problem is that most code chunking solutions are terrible. We built code-chunk to fix this. It's now the best A
