Questions, answered

Who maintains graphiti?

It is an open-source project at getzep/graphiti with 3240 forks. Check the contributors tab and recent commits to judge how active maintenance is.

Is graphiti free to use?

Yes — Apache 2.0 allows commercial use and modification. Keep the license and notice files, and note it includes a patent grant.

How is this different from a vector DB?

Vector DBs retrieve similar text; Graphiti builds a temporal knowledge graph — entities, relationships, and how they change.

What's the Zep connection?

Graphiti is the graph engine behind Zep's memory layer; they're sibling projects from the same team.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo and follow the README quickstart — the docs at https://help.getzep.com/graphiti walk through setup.
