When an agent answers from a context graph, it's hard to see which facts it used.
Our graph assistant in the Zep dashboard shows each search it runs and the evidence behind the answer.
We launched Zep v4 this week with a lot of new features. See them all below.
We're excited to announce the launch of the Zep v4 API!
Agents can now navigate a graph by connection. They see how each episode was built using Ingestion Traces and use hyperedges to retrieve facts that connect more than two entities.

Our graph database at @zep_ai kept failing under load, and adding hardware stopped helping. We replaced it with one we built ourselves. The first version was my holiday project. 🧵

Agent memory is synthesized: an LLM reads chat history, documents, and business data, and derives the facts your agent retrieves. The output appears in none of the sources verbatim.
By retrieval time, the source behind a fact is gone. Here's how Zep keeps it. 🧵

Cool that is a clarifying point that was indeed in tweet 4, a bit below the celebratory initial tweet
yeah I'm aware of the internal conversations, and equally aware of Anduril telling you that we do not consent and won't permit transfers of Anduril shares to USVC

Agents need more than one kind of context to actually help users.
Zep produces 5 distinct types in every Context Block: facts, entities, episodes, thread summaries, and the user summary. Each captures something the others can't.
Here's what each is for 🧵
