Questions, answered

Who maintains hindsight?

Is hindsight free to use?

Yes — it's MIT licensed: free to use, modify, and ship commercially. Just keep the license notice in copies.

How does the memory learn?

It persists interaction history and refines recall over time — the docs at hindsight.vectorize.io cover the architecture.

Does it replace a vector database?

It's a memory layer, not just storage: retrieval plus learning. You may still use a vector DB underneath.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo and follow the README quickstart — the docs at https://hindsight.vectorize.io/ walk through setup.
