Local

letta.com since 1997 · who's behind it

Letta, from the MemGPT team, is an open-source agent harness (formerly Letta Code) for stateful agents that keep memory blocks, skills and conversations across sessions, used from a CLI, chat.letta.com, messaging channels or the Agent SDK, with Letta Cloud.

Best for Long-lived coding agents and assistants that keep memory and identity across sessions and machines.

Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Harnesses. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.

Assessment. Letta's open-source harness gives agents git-tracked memory blocks, skills, subagents and headless JSON runs, with a $0 plan and public per-agent API prices. It starts in the unrestricted permission mode, defaults to Letta Cloud, sends usage telemetry unless LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 is set, and the V1 API server the comparisons describe is retired.

From our research 5 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface listed
The open-source Letta harness, @letta-ai/letta-code 0.34.42, with its CLI, headless mode and Agent SDK, read from clones of github.com/letta-ai/letta-code and letta-ai/letta, npm, PyPI, docs.letta.com's llms.txt and pricing page and letta.com's privacy policy on 6 November 2026. Nothing was installed or run
Category
Agent harnesses, because Letta is now a finished program that runs the agent loop; memory is its distinguishing feature, so it also appears in agent memory
Retired
The Letta V1 Python API server (letta-ai/letta, archive branch), its Docker images, the Electron desktop app and AgentFile import and export
Interfaces
CLI and terminal UI, chat.letta.com in the browser, Slack, Telegram, Discord and custom channels, the TypeScript Agent SDK, the Letta App Server over WebSocket, and ACP
Legal entity
Not named in the privacy policy, which says only Letta. The company announced itself as Letta, of San Francisco, in its September 2024 release

Strengths

  • Apache-2.0 harness on npm and PyPI with 0.34.42 released on 6 November 2026, and releases most days
  • Memory blocks and MemFS keep an agent's context in git, with optional sync to the user's own repository
  • Headless runs with -p and --output-format json, plus a TypeScript Agent SDK and a self-hosted App Server
  • Public prices, a $0 plan with bring-your-own keys, and an API plan at $20 a month plus $0.10 per active agent
  • Runs locally without signing in, with letta backend local or --backend local

Weaknesses

  • The default permission mode is unrestricted, the renamed bypassPermissions, so tool calls aren't confirmed unless the user picks another mode
  • Letta Cloud is the default backend, so agent memory and conversations go to Letta's servers unless the user chooses local
  • Usage telemetry is on by default, with the LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 opt-out found only in the source
  • The Letta V1 Python API server is retired and unsupported, and the letta-ai/letta repository is now a landing page
  • The privacy policy names no legal entity or date and says hosted message data may train future models

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Start headless runs with an explicit permission mode such as standard or strict; the default auto-approves tools
  2. Pass --backend local for work that must stay on the machine, since Letta Cloud is the default
  3. Set LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 in unattended runs if usage events must not be sent
  4. Use letta -p --output-format json for scripted runs and parse the JSON, not the terminal output
  5. Don't plan on the retired V1 REST server or .af AgentFile import; both are gone

Terms and privacy, as read

Terms of service gives no date, states 5 of 7, 2 to know

TL;DR Gives no date. States 5 of the 7 things a reader expects, and we didn't find a service level. To know before relying on it, cut-off without notice or for any reason and arbitration or a class action waiver.

Says access can be ended without notice or for any reason
We may suspend or terminate the Services at any time, at our discretion and without notice.

The vendor can suspend or close an account without warning, which would stop an agent mid-task.

Requires arbitration or waives class actions
Any dispute that arose before the changes will be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) in effect when the dispute arose.

Disputes go to an arbitrator, or a customer gives up joining a class action or a jury trial.

Gives the date it was last updated

Not found in the text.

Without a date nobody can tell which version they agreed to.

Names the governing law or courts The law of the State of California
These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Says where a dispute would be heard and under whose law.

Says the most the vendor would owe if the service causes a loss.

Says how the agreement or account can be ended
We may suspend or terminate the Services at any time, at our discretion and without notice.

Says when the vendor can cut off access and what notice it gives.

Says how changes to the terms are announced Says it gives notice of a change

Privacy policy gives no date, states 6 of 8

TL;DR Gives no date. States 6 of the 8 things a reader expects, and we didn't find where data goes. The rules found no clause to flag.

Gives the date it was last updated

Not found in the text.

Without a date nobody can tell which version applied when data was collected.

Says what personal data is collected
When you use Letta applications/services/websites, we collect basic telemetry data such as clicks, crashes, etc.

The basic statement a privacy policy exists to make.

Says how long data is kept
We retain this information for the length of time described in our "How Long We Keep Information section".

Says when data sent to the service is deleted.

Says who else receives the data
Third-party vendors: We may share information about you with third-party vendors who need the information in order to provide their services to us, or to provide their services to you or your site.

Access, correction, deletion and objection, and how to use them.

Gives a privacy contact
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through our via email.

An address or officer to send a request to.

Says where data is transferred or stored

Not found in the text.

The countries data goes to and the safeguard used.

The document · read 2026-11-06 · 3,460 words

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The privacy policy shows no last-updated date and names no legal entity, only Letta. It says hosted message data may be used to train new models and that basic telemetry can be turned off in settings when supported.

www.letta.com and docs.letta.com robots.txt allow all crawlers.

RDAP gives letta.com a registration date of 1 October 1997, which predates the company, so the domain was bought later.

/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. SECURITY.md in letta-ai/letta asks for reports to support@letta.com.

The terms URL is the conventional path and was not read; the policy reader checks it at landing.

Checked 2026-11-06 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Letta on GitHub

Raised $10M in total, as of September 2024 source

Backed byFelicis,Sunflower Capital,Essence VC,Jeff Dean,Clem Delangue,Cristobal Valenzuela,Jordan Tigani,Tristan Handy,Robert Nishihara,Barry McCardel

Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. Roles from Letta's own release of 24 September 2024 on PR Newswire ("SOURCE Letta"), which names Charles Packer and Sarah Wooders as co-founders and quotes them as CEO and CTO. letta.com has no about or team page (404 on /about, /company and /team on 6 November 2026). Personal profiles weren't linked from a first-hand page, so none are given. The release names seven angels, listed here with its words. letta.com's sitemap, its announcement post of 23 September 2024 and a web search on 6 November 2026 found no round after the $10 million seed, so the total raised is that seed. No valuation has been stated. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Notable

  • The letta-ai/letta repository is now a landing page. Its README says the current source lives in letta-ai/letta-code and that the retired Letta V1 API server is kept on an archive branch, and its SECURITY.md says that server receives no fixes or security updates source
  • DEFAULT_PERMISSION_MODE is unrestricted in src/permissions/mode.ts, which migrates the older bypassPermissions and fullAccess values to it source
  • src/index.ts initialises telemetry with the comment "enabled by default, opt-out via LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0" source
  • The README says Letta Cloud is the default backend, chosen at first launch, and AgentFile (.af) export and import have been removed source
  • v0.34.42 tagged on 6 November 2026; 398 tags in the repository, which was created on 25 October 2025 source
  • Letta's seed round of $10 million, led by Felicis, was announced on 24 September 2024 source

  1. Graded 59.7 C methodology v0.7

Fix list 19 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Letta. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • The lead described Letta as the Letta Agent SDK, CLI, MCP, Letta Cloud or a self-hosted App Server. That holds, but the Letta V1 API server that most memory comparisons describe is retired, so the listing is graded as a harness in agent-harnesses with agent-memory as a second category.
  • unchecked: CI run results, because GitHub's API answered with a rate limit.
  • unchecked: the terms of service, left to the policy reader at landing.
  • Whether the V1 server's retirement came with advance notice wasn't established; no deduction is taken without it.
  • Lapse. pypi.org/pypi/<package>/json, which PyPI's robots.txt disallows (/pypi/*/json), was fetched for this listing's packages on 6 November 2026 before robots.txt was read. Nothing from those responses is used; versions and release dates come from the allowed release feed at pypi.org/rss/project/<package>/releases.xml, and licences and authors from the repository.
  • firstReleased is letta-code's first tag, v0.1.3 on 24 October 2025. The letta name on PyPI and the MemGPT repository are older, from the V1 server.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
