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**Graphicle.** One local program gives a coding agent a code graph and project memory through 25 typed, annotated MCP tools that return cited excerpts within a token budget, with agent-written memories held for human approval. It is one day old at version 0.1.0, its SDKs are not on any registry, and the licence and advisory check fails on main.\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### Graphicle\n\n1. Call `recall_project` with a `max_tokens` budget, then `read_project_source` with the cited id and byte offset to continue a cut excerpt\n2. Use `query_graph`, `get_neighbors` and `shortest_path` for structure questions, and pass `repo` to reach another synced project\n3. Treat proposed memories as drafts. They are not served until a person approves them in `graphicle open` under Memory\n4. Ask the user before running `graphicle setup`, which edits agent settings, AGENTS.md and Git hooks, and use `graphicle disconnect` to undo it\n5. Over HTTP send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`, never in the URL, and on 429 wait for the Retry-After reset\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory or Graphicle?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory scores 79.4 (A) on agent readiness against Graphicle's 69.8 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Graphicle leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and Graphicle need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and Graphicle without installing anything?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory has a hosted endpoint at https://bedrock-agentcore.{region}.amazonaws.com. Graphicle runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n### Are Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory and Graphicle open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory. Graphicle is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-memory-vs-graphicle.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-memory-vs-graphicle.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agentcore-memory\", \"b\": \"graphicle\"}`.
