Memvid Agent Memory

Give your AI agents a memory that lasts.

⚠️ Community Extension - This is an unofficial VS Code extension built using the Memvid framework. Not affiliated with the Memvid team.

Memvid Agent Memory gives GitHub Copilot persistent memory capabilities. Your AI assistant can now remember information across sessions, search through past conversations, and provide contextual answers based on stored knowledge.

✨ Features

🧠 Persistent Memory

Store information that survives between VS Code sessions. Your agent remembers what you taught it yesterday, last week, or months ago.

🔍 Intelligent Search

Find relevant memories using smart keyword matching with automatic fallback strategies. Supports both German and English queries.

🤖 AI-Powered Answers

Ask questions in natural language and get synthesized answers from your stored memories using your preferred LLM provider.

🔄 Query Rewriting

When a search doesn't find results, the AI automatically tries alternative search terms, synonyms, and translations.

⏱️ Timeline View

See your most recent memories at a glance, sorted from newest to oldest.

🔌 Zero Configuration

Works out of the box! MCP tools are automatically registered with GitHub Copilot - no manual setup required.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the extension from VS Code Marketplace
2. Open any workspace with GitHub Copilot
3. Start using memory commands in Copilot Chat:

💬 "Remember that this project uses PostgreSQL and Redis"
💬 "What database does this project use?"
💬 "Show me recent memories"

That's it! Your agent now has persistent memory.
