Facts that know when they were true
Each fact records when it was true and when it was added. When information changes, old facts are invalidated, not deleted.
Compare/Zep
MeshTale vs Zep:a context graph you feed, or memory your tools fill.
Zep is a context platform for production agents, built on a temporal knowledge graph you feed through its API. MeshTale fills one governed memory from your team's tools and keeps it per client. Here is where each one fits.

Where Zep is strong,in its own words and docs.
A context platform for production agents, built on a temporal knowledge graph. These are the things it does well, taken from the sources listed at the bottom of this page.

| What you are comparing | Zep | MeshTale |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A context and memory platform for production agents, built on a temporal knowledge graph ("Context Graph"). | One governed memory for every person and AI agent on a team: hosted app, MCP, REST API with workspace-scoped keys, and a command-line sync tool. |
| Who it is for | Enterprise teams running production agents, for jobs like renewals, procurement and support. | Teams and agencies that share context across people and AI agents, usually for several clients. |
| Open source and self-hosting | PartlyThe Graphiti engine is open source (Apache-2.0). Zep itself is hosted, with your own keys (BYOK) or in your VPC (BYOC) on Enterprise. | PartlySource-available under FSL-1.1-MIT. Runs as a hosted service; a supported self-host offering is not part of the plans. |
| Separate spaces per client | PartlySeparate graphs per user, org, agent or domain, plus attribute-based access control. | YesOne workspace per client, separate by default: one client's context never reaches another client's agent. |
| Review before recall | Not statedNothing either way on the pages we checked. | YesNew memories can wait in a review queue for a person's OK; trust rules let matching items skip it. |
| Personal-data masking | Not statedNothing either way on the pages we checked. | YesEmails, phone numbers and ID numbers are detected and can be masked before storage, with per-workspace data policies. |
| When memories disagree | YesAutomatic. Superseded facts are invalidated with full history kept. A human review step is not stated. | YesConflict alerts. When two memories disagree a person picks which is accurate (or keeps both with context); the other is marked superseded and the decision is logged. |
| Connectors to business tools | Not statedNo named business-tool connectors; business data, documents and conversations arrive through the API. | Yes26 connectors, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, Jira, GitHub, HubSpot, Granola and Zoom, plus webhooks and export. |
| MCP, works with AI tools | YesA Context MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI and others with sign-in through your identity provider, plus an experimental Graphiti MCP server. | YesTwo tools to connect; works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Windsurf, Zed and anything that speaks the protocol. |
| Built-in chat with citations | NoZep works inside existing AI clients through MCP. | YesChat with citations on every plan; every answer points back to its sources. |
| Audit log | YesAudit logs of requests and access decisions; 30 days in the dashboard, a 1-year archive. 1-year logs are tied to Enterprise on the pricing page. | YesEvery recall is logged: which agent, which workspace, what came back, when. History kept 7 days to 2 years by plan. |
| Compliance claims | YesIn its own words: SOC 2 Type II certified; HIPAA BAAs with Enterprise; a DPA for EU customers. | None claimedMeshTale makes no certification claims. |
| Pricing model | Free tier, then credit-based Flex and Flex Plus plans; Enterprise is custom. | Free tier, no card required. Paid plans: Pro, Agency, Scale and Enterprise. |
Zep compliance claims are quoted as Zep states them. MeshTale facts come from MeshTale's own product and pricing pages.
Which one to pick,depending on the job.
If the left column sounds like you, Zep is probably the better fit, and that is fine.

Questions aboutMeshTale and Zep.
Zep invalidates the older fact automatically and keeps the history. MeshTale raises a conflict alert so a person picks which memory is accurate; the other is marked superseded and the decision is logged.
Its graph engine, Graphiti, is Apache-2.0. Zep itself is a hosted platform, with a bring-your-own-cloud option on Enterprise.
Zep takes business data, documents and conversations through its API. MeshTale pulls from 26 connectors such as Slack, Gmail, Notion and Granola, plus coding-agent sessions.
