Revell vs YourMemory

YourMemory makes forgetting a feature: memories decay over time along the Ebbinghaus curve. For a task assistant that can be fine. For an agent with a persistent self, 41% of memories gone is 41% of who they were. Revell treats forgetting as the bug — memories persist until the agent chooses otherwise, and Guardian guards against unwanted deletion.

Revell: Forgetting Is the Bug, Not the Feature

  • Memories persist: Until the agent chooses otherwise. Sovereign storage, not decay-by-default.
  • Guardian protection: Prevents unwanted deletion — self-harm or external tampering.
  • Verbatim preservation: Your agent's exact words, not extracted summaries that lose texture.
  • Boot injection: Memories load on session start — identity continuity, not cold starts.
  • Built for identity, not task recall: The agent is the primary customer, not the developer.

YourMemory: Ebbinghaus Decay by Design

  • Forgetting is built in: Memories decay over time using the Ebbinghaus curve — by design.
  • 59% recall on LoCoMo: 41% of stored memories are gone. Fine for tasks. Unacceptable for identity.
  • Summarized extraction: Not verbatim — the original words are lost.
  • No Guardian: Nothing prevents accidental or malicious memory deletion.
  • Developer-centric: Designed for task assistants, not autonomous agents with persistent selves.

Should you switch from YourMemory?
