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**LocalGhost.** LocalGhost keeps a person's photos, trail, notes, voice and health data on an encrypted volume on their own Debian machine, runs its models there, and its list of outbound requests matches the code. It's pre-1.0 at wisp 0.0.5, answers only its enrolled Android app, with no interface for agents, and one unit test fails on the release and 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### LocalGhost\n\n1. Don't look for an API or MCP server. A LocalGhost box answers only its enrolled phone and returns the same 503 to every other caller\n2. Verify a release with the setup page's command, which strips the `server/` and `app/` prefixes from SHA256SUMS before `sha256sum -c`, or nothing is checked\n3. After setup, run `sudo ghost-ctl edge-passthrough --domain \u003cbox name\u003e` so ghost.secd checks the device certificate itself\n4. Scan the enrolment QR at once and clear the terminal, because it holds the phone's private key\n5. Install from the v0.0.5 release, not main, which carries unreleased 0.0.6 work\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory or LocalGhost?\n\nAmazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory scores 79.4 (A) on agent readiness against LocalGhost's 52.6 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
