Add memory to an AI assistant, connect an external data source, wire Honcho into your agent framework, or migrate from another provider. ## Recipes Compose the core primitives across multiple integrations: One shared workspace across a chat companion, coding agent, autonomous agent, and ingestion job ## AI Assistants Add persistent memory to AI assistants and agents: Long-term memory that survives context wipes, session restarts, and project switches Persistent memory for OpenCode sessions, with per-directory, per-repo, or branch-scoped session mapping 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 Add Honcho memory to Paperclip companies, agents, issues, and documents 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 Persistent memory skill for Zo Computer AI workflows Build intelligent automation workflows with persistent memory ## Migrations Coming from another memory provider? Transfer your data and update your integration code
