One Knowledge Layer. Two Ways to Deploy.
Build with it as a developer, or deploy it across your entire organization.
Import Your Context
Drop in documents, notes, conversations, or any text. Memvid automatically chunks, embeds, and indexes everything.
Connect Your File to Agent
Connect any AI model or agent through MCP, SDK, or direct API. Get lightning-fast hybrid recall and persistent memory.
Deploy Anywhere
Store your memory file locally, on-prem, in a private cloud, or public cloud, same file, same performance. No vendor lock-in.
Memvid works out of the box.
Here's how.
Single-File Architecture
Everything in one portable .mv2 file. Data, embeddings, indices, and WAL. No databases, no servers, no complexity.
Sub-5ms Search
Lightning-fast hybrid search combining BM25 lexical matching with semantic vector embeddings.
Crash-Safe & Deterministic
Embedded WAL ensures data integrity. Automatic recovery after crashes. Identical inputs produce identical outputs.
Plugs Into Your Stack
Seamless integration with your existing tools and tailored to your exact workflows. Not a one-size-fits-all.
Time-Based Queries
Built-in timeline index for temporal queries. Perfect for conversation history and time-sensitive retrieval.
Works Everywhere
Deploy on-prem, private cloud, or air-gapped. Local-first, offline-capable, zero vendor lock-in, your data never leaves your walls.

"At Scaylor we've tested every major RAG provider and have seen the same issues with top K, embedding and re-ranking that we haven't seen with MemVid."

"We took an objective look at all the major models and vector databases, and Memvid beat all of them on accuracy, cost, and inference speed. None were able to do what Memvid did."

@JJGgubbay
"they just turned vector DBs into museum relics, 90% cheaper, zero latency, all in one tiny video file. the RAG empire has fallen, long live the revolution."

"honestly this is crazy cool man. zero infra and 5 min setup is insane. been following memvid since the start and this v2 looks even more insane"

"I think this is an interesting concept: Instead of running complex RAG pipelines or server-based vector databases, Memvid enables fast retrieval directly from the file."

"Memvid's single file agent memory ditching RAG pipelines for portable, instant recall. Huge for reliable long running workflows. Congrats on back to back #1."
