in less than 5 minutes
Drop in documents, notes, conversations, or any text. Memvid automatically chunks, embeds, and indexes everything.
Connect any AI model or agent through MCP, SDK, or direct API. Get lightning-fast hybrid search combining BM25 lexical matching with semantic vector search.
Store your memory file locally, on-prem, in a private cloud, or public cloud, same file, same performance. No vendor lock-in.
Works with your favorite frameworks
Memvid is the first portable, serverless memory layer that gives every AI agent instant recall and persistent memory. Here are some interesting ways developers are using Memvid across hundreds of real-world applications.
Give your agents persistent memory across sessions. Build autonomous systems that learn and remember.
Build retrieval-augmented generation systems with sub-5ms search latency. Perfect for chatbots and Q&A.
Create searchable company wikis, documentation systems, and internal knowledge repositories.
Add long-term memory to your chatbots. Remember user preferences, past conversations, and context.
Ingest PDFs, docs, and text at scale. Automatic chunking, embedding, and indexing.
Share memory between agents. Build collaborative AI systems with shared context.
Discover real agents and projects built with Memvid. Created by our team and the community, and shared for anyone to explore, fork, and use.
Time travel for checkpoints
Record a single MV2 tape, scrub a timeline, and replay any moment on demand. Perfect for debugging AI agent sessions.
Claude Code finally remembers
Give Claude Code photographic memory in ONE portable file. No database, no SQLite, no ChromaDB. Just a single .mv2 file.
Capture architectural decisions
An MCP server that records decisions like 'let's use Postgres' while you code. Search 'why?' and get the full context back.
AI UI Kit powered by Memvid
Build AI-powered apps in minutes. A complete UI kit with React components, server utilities, and built-in memory management.

Build AI-powered apps in minutes. A complete UI kit with React components, server utilities, and built-in memory management.
Here's how.
Everything in one portable .mv2 file. Data, embeddings, indices, and WAL. No databases, no servers, no complexity.
Lightning-fast hybrid search combining BM25 lexical matching with semantic vector embeddings.
Embedded WAL ensures data integrity. Automatic recovery after crashes. Identical inputs produce identical outputs.
Native bindings for Python, Node.js, and Rust. Plus CLI and MCP server for any AI framework.
Built-in timeline index for temporal queries. Perfect for conversation history and time-sensitive retrieval.
Local-first, offline-capable. Share files via USB, cloud, or Git. No vendor lock-in.

Hear how teams are building intelligent applications with Memvid
"Building AI agents with persistent memory used to require complex vector databases and infrastructure. With Memvid, everything is in one portable file. Our agents can now remember conversations and context across sessions effortlessly."
Sarah Chen
AI Engineer
"From Python to Node.js to Rust, the SDK consistency across languages meant our entire team could adopt Memvid immediately. The portable .mv2 format works everywhere - local dev, CI/CD, production. No vendor lock-in."
Alex Martinez
Principal Engineer
"The MCP integration made it incredibly easy to connect Claude to our knowledge bases. Setup took minutes, not days."
Marcus Johnson
Staff Engineer
"Parallel ingestion is a game changer. We indexed 50,000 research papers in under an hour with perfect accuracy."
Dr. Emily Rodriguez
Research Lead
"The hybrid search with BM25 and vector indices gives us the best of both worlds. Lexical precision plus semantic understanding."
James Park
ML Engineer
"We share .mv2 files across our team via Dropbox. No database setup, no servers. It just works."
Lisa Anderson
Product Lead
"Sub-millisecond search across millions of documents. The performance is incredible for such a simple file format."
