BrainDB
Persistent, semantic memory for AI agents. Built for OpenClaw.
What It Does
Your AI forgets everything between sessions. BrainDB fixes that.
It gives your assistant a memory system that automatically captures important context from conversations and recalls it when relevant — who you are, what you're working on, what you've told it before. Memories persist across compaction, session resets, and restarts.
How it works:
You say something → OpenClaw captures important facts → BrainDB stores them
You ask something → OpenClaw recalls relevant memories → AI has context
No commands. No manual saving. It just works.
Install
Requires Docker and ~4 GB RAM.
openclaw plugin install braindb
Or manually:
git clone https://github.com/Chair4ce/braindb.git ~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb
cd ~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb
bash install.sh
First run: 3–5 minutes (downloads embedding model). After that: ~10 seconds.
What the installer does:
- Backs up your existing memory files to
~/.openclaw/braindb-backup/
- Builds and starts 3 Docker containers (Neo4j, embedder, gateway)
- Patches your OpenClaw config (
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) to enable the plugin
- Optionally offers to migrate existing workspace files into BrainDB
Review install.sh before running if you want to understand each step.
What You Get
- 768-dim semantic search — finds conceptually related memories, not just keyword matches
- 4 memory types — episodic (events), semantic (facts), procedural (skills), association (links)
- Tiered ranking — semantic similarity always beats keyword match
- Auto-dedup — won't store near-duplicate memories
- Hebbian reinforcement — memories strengthen with use, decay without it
- Query expansion — understands colloquial phrases
- 98% recall accuracy on a 50-test benchmark suite
- 12–20 ms average query latency
