Atomic Strata

Configurable context layer
for AI memory.

Atomic Strata builds open, self-hosted context infrastructure.
AtomicMemory gives developers persistent, inspectable, correctable AI memory.

Open source Self-hosted TypeScript & Python
Why now

AI is becoming stateful. Its memory should be infrastructure — configurable, durable, inspectable, governed.

Configurable

Compose models, embeddings, storage, and policy. Built around your stack, not ours.

Durable

Persist across sessions, agents, and teams. Context that doesn't disappear at end of chat.

Inspectable

Read every retrieval. Version every claim. State you can audit, not guess at.

Governed

Scopes, permissions, audit trails, correction workflows. First-class, not bolted on.

AtomicMemory · open source

Introducing AtomicMemory.

An open source context memory engine for AI applications and agents. Run it locally, self-host it, swap providers, inspect context state, and build context memory into your own applications, agents, and workflows.

examples/ai-app.ts
import { AtomicMemory } from "@atomicstrata/memory";
 
const mem = new AtomicMemory({
  scope: "workspace:acme",
  providers: { embedding, store, model },
});
 
// retrieve, with full trace
const ctx = await mem.retrieve(query, { trace: true });

Self-hosted context memory

Deploy where your data lives. No vendor lock-in, no shared multi-tenant memory pool.

HTTP-first architecture

Plain JSON over HTTP. Works alongside any model, agent runtime, or orchestration framework.

TypeScript & Python SDKs

First-class clients for the languages most AI applications are already written in.

Pluggable providers

Swap models, embeddings, and storage. Compose around your existing infrastructure.

User, workspace, agent scopes

Layered identity model — context is never broadly shared by accident.

Inspectable context state

Read what's there, why it's there, and what's about to be retrieved next.

Correction & supersession

Update, version, and explicitly retire claims. Memory that can be wrong, and then right.

Observability in retrieval

Traces and metrics live alongside the data path — not as a separate product.

Built for developers · designed for institutions

Open where it should be. Governed where it must be.

Atomic Strata is building context infrastructure for a world where AI systems operate across models, applications, agents, teams, and organizations.

01 / Developers

Compose context into the systems you build.

Bring AtomicMemory into AI applications, agents, assistants, and workflows. Stay close to the metal: HTTP, SDKs, your storage, your models.

02 / Teams

Share durable context across people and tools.

One context layer across users, projects, and agentic systems — instead of N fragmented memories trapped inside each tool.

03 / Institutions

Stay tuned for more.

We're building governed context for organizations that need it private, inspectable, correctable, and audit-grade from day one.

Architecture

A configurable context layer with explicit seams.

AtomicMemory is designed around clear boundaries, replaceable components, and inspectable context flow. Teams can compose the layer around their own models, storage, embedding providers, applications, and governance requirements.

01
Ingest
Capture messages, documents, events, claims, and structured data.
02
Mutate
Add, update, delete, supersede, clarify, and version context.
03
Store
Use preferred storage, vector, and embedding infrastructure.
04
Retrieve
Surface relevant context for agents, applications, and workflows.
05
Assemble
Package context for model calls, agents, or downstream tools.
06
Observe
Trace why context was retrieved and how context changed.
07
Govern
Apply scopes, permissions, policies, and audit trails.
· Clear boundaries · Replaceable components · Inspectable context flow
Enterprise

Building governed context for enterprise AI.

Atomic Strata works with technical teams that need context memory to be private, inspectable, correctable, and audit-grade from the beginning — across AI applications, internal agents, and secure deployments.

Where teams use it
01 Cross-agent context
02 AI application context memory
03 Team and workspace context
04 Internal AI assistants
05 Secure / private deployments
06 Context observability & audit

Become a design partner.

We work closely with a small number of technical teams shaping the configurable context layer. If governed AI context is on your roadmap, we’d like to hear about it.

The AI Memory Industry Has A Black Box Problem.

Most hosted AI memory tools converge on the same shape. A hosted runtime with an API in front of it and a polite suggestion that you don't look too closely at what runs underneath. The pitch is memory, but what you get is lock-in.
