Honcho plugs into whatever you're already building. Add memory to an AI assistant, connect an external data source, wire Honcho into your agent framework, or migrate from another provider.
## AI Assistants
Add persistent memory to AI assistants and agents:
Long-term memory that survives context wipes, session restarts, and project switches
Add Honcho memory to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP client
Cross-session memory for Nous Research's Hermes agent
Memory across every channel — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more
Persistent memory plugin for the Agent Zero framework
## Platform Connectors
Connect external platforms to Honcho:
Build a Discord bot that remembers users across conversations
Create a Telegram bot with persistent user understanding
Import email threads into Honcho — peers, sessions, and messages from your inbox
Ingest meeting transcripts with speaker turns and participant data
Build an embodied voice robot with long-term memory
## Agent Frameworks
Use Honcho as a memory layer in your agent orchestration stack:
Add persistent memory and theory of mind to your LangGraph agents
Give CrewAI agents memory that persists across sessions
Build intelligent automation workflows with persistent memory
## Migrations
Coming from another memory provider?
Transfer your data and update your integration code
