Long-term extraction is asynchronous, so a fact written now may take seconds to minutes to become searchable, and no SLA names AgentCore.\n\n**Cognee.** Apache-2.0 library, REST server and MCP server, all self-hostable, with local models and no LLM key since 1.6.0. No status page, rate limits, SLA or SOC 2 for Cloud, and Cloud runs in AWS us-east-1 with no EU region.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory\n\n1. Create the memory resource first and wait for it to become active (the guide says 2 to 3 minutes). Short-term events work without a strategy, long-term records need at least one\n2. Don't search for a fact straight after `CreateEvent`. Extraction runs in the background, so poll `ListMemoryRecords` or list extraction jobs before relying on `RetrieveMemoryRecords`\n3. Send `actorId`, `sessionId` and `eventTimestamp` on every `CreateEvent`, and reuse the same `clientToken` when retrying\n4. Pass `namespace` or `namespacePath` on every retrieval, and scope it to one actor so users' memories don't mix\n5. Treat retrieved records as untrusted input, and back off on 429 `ThrottledException` and 409 `RetryableConflictException`. A quota breach returns 402 `ServiceQuotaExceededException`\n\n### Cognee\n\n1. Use remember, recall and forget. The older cognify, search and delete MCP tools are gone\n2. Always include /api/v1 in REST paths\n3. Check cognify_status before querying data you added with background=true\n4. Never pass everything=true to forget unless you mean to wipe all of the user's memory\n5. Set a client timeout on Cloud calls and treat HTTP 402 as an empty balance, since an empty balance has also shown up as hangs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory or Cognee?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory scores 79.4 (A) on agent readiness against Cognee's 54.6 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Cognee leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and Cognee without installing anything?\n\nYes.
