There are 3 major differences between Zep and CORE 1. Market: Zep is B2B focused, CORE indvidual users 2. Portablity: Zep is locked to their platform , CORE works across claude, cursor, windsurf 3. Architecture: Zep is Temporal based vs CORE is Reified + Temporal based graph
What this means:
Zep remembers what happened when CORE remembers what happened when + why we should believe it + how facts relate
Example: You say "I love Thai food" → Later: "Actually, I hate Thai food"
Zep: "You hate Thai food" (old preference vanishes) CORE: "You currently hate Thai food. This contradicts your earlier statement from [date/source]. The change came from your correction today."
Bottom line: CORE provides full explainability and audit trails that Zep cannot.
