Deep Dive

Key differences

AI memory vault vs bookmark tool

Epitome is purpose-built for AI agents — structured profiles, semantic memory, and a knowledge graph that agents query directly. Supermemory focuses on saving bookmarks and web content for personal reference. Different tools for different jobs.

MCP-native vs REST-only

Epitome speaks MCP natively with 9 specialized tools over Streamable HTTP transport. Supermemory exposes a REST API. MCP means any compatible AI agent can discover and use Epitome's capabilities automatically.

Memory quality engine

Epitome's promote/demote state machine, contradiction detection, and nightly decay create a self-curating memory system. Supermemory stores what you save, as-is. Quality scoring means your AI context stays clean and trustworthy over time.
