Persistent Vector Memory
for AI Agents
One file per agent. MCP-native. Local-first.
The intelligence layer for agent fleets.
Built for Multi-Agent Intelligence
Everything your AI agents need — from persistent memory and semantic search to fleet-scale operations and compliance.
The foundation that makes phorvec different.
One File Per Agent
Each agent gets an isolated .avdb file — portable, composable, zero shared state. Move agents between machines by copying a single file.
Hybrid Search
Vector similarity + BM25 keyword search fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Configurable alpha weighting, quoted-string auto-boost, debug output.
Knowledge Graphs
Automatic entity extraction with 8 built-in types. 5 graph tools for search, query, link, custom entities, and analytics.
Vector Quantization
Float32, Int8 (4x savings), and Binary (32x savings) quantization with automatic threshold transitions based on collection size.
Complete lifecycle management for agent knowledge.
Context Branching
Create, switch, and merge context branches. Snapshots saved as portable .vlbrain bundles. Timeline replay with session filtering.
Context Decay & Optimization
Half-life decay with per-category formulas. Anchor exemption. Intelligent pruning keeps the most relevant context within token budgets.
Memory Consolidation
4-phase pipeline: dedup (>92% similar), compress old items, associate (create links), archive low-importance. Non-destructive — originals preserved.
Retention Policies
Active → Archived → PurgeQueue lifecycle zones. Configurable grace periods, sweep scheduling, and anchor exemption from all cleanup.
Enterprise-grade security built into every operation.
Audit Trails
Append-only JSONL logging with correlation IDs. Per-operation metadata: timestamp, type, duration, result status. Daily rotation, configurable retention.
Secret Detection
Pre-storage scanning for API keys, tokens, credentials, and PII. Configurable policies: reject (block) or redact (mask and store). Denied path patterns.
Air-Gapped Operation
Local ONNX embeddings (23MB model, zero API calls). All data on-device. .vlbrain bundles for offline transfer. No mandatory cloud sync.
Compliance Ready
SOC 2 and HIPAA-ready audit trails. PII detection. Retention policies for data lifecycle. RBAC via team sharing modes.
Coordinate fleets of agents with shared intelligence.
Team Memory
3 sharing modes: FULL (bidirectional), PROTECTED (read-only to team), ISOLATED (no sharing). Team-wide search, dispatch, and feed.
Conflict Detection
Automatic scanning for contradictory decisions across agents. Regex-based negation detection, severity levels, and dismissal — no LLM overhead. See the runnable demo in Docs.
Cross-Agent Insights (DRE)
Divergent Recombination Engine finds maximally distant compatible memories, blends them, and validates novelty. Creates knowledge no single agent had.
Geometric Failure Recovery
Computes repair vectors away from failure embeddings. Exclusion filtering rejects similar failures. Agents find new paths instead of retrying.
Observe, govern, and manage agent fleets at scale.
Agent Health Monitoring
6 EMA-tracked metrics: coherence, contribution, prediction error, latency, success rate, and trend. Fleet-wide heatmap with threshold alerting.
Compute Governance
Per-agent token budgets with typed costs (retrieval=1, model_call=5, tool_exec=3). Reliability-based allocation. Denial counters for observability.
Agent Testing & QA
YAML test suites with IR metrics (precision, recall, F1). Baseline management, regression detection, and side-by-side benchmarking.
Skill Library
Cross-project knowledge persistence. Store and retrieve reusable error-fix pairs, patterns, and organizational knowledge bundles.
Index, search, and retrieve from your entire codebase.
RAG Indexing
Index files and directories with language-aware chunking for Rust, Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, and more. .gitignore-aware, binary-safe.
140+ MCP Tools
Complete tool coverage: context, memory, search, teams, quantization, graphs, security, testing, governance, and utilities.
Query Cache & Analytics
Semantic query cache with configurable TTL. query_explain for search internals. query_profile for latency breakdowns. Full analytics dashboard.
Storage Management
Integrity verification, corruption repair, write buffer management, and LanceDB compaction. Configurable storage backends (LanceDB or Lite).
Self-hosted server with a Memory CMS dashboard, sync, and REST API.
Memory CMS Dashboard
Search, view, edit, and delete agent memories in a web UI. Auto-re-embeds on edit. Fix hallucinations in seconds — no code deploy needed.
Differential Sync
Optional cloud sync that transfers only changed memories. Vector clock conflict detection with 3-way merge resolution. Works across devices.
REST API & SDKs
Full REST API for agents, vectors, search, sync, and audit. TypeScript SDK included. API key auth with per-key rate limits and Argon2 hashing.
Docker & Air-Gapped Deploy
Ship as a single Docker container. Runs on localhost with zero login. Portable .avdb exports for air-gapped environments. No external DB required.
