ChainMemory features
- Cross-model portability. Save memories in one model (e.g., ChatGPT) and recall them in others like Claude or Gemini.
- Cryptographic verification. Each memory gets a hash and project states are anchored with Merkle proofs for immutable integrity.
- Project Brain. Aggregates memories into a structured, queryable project state with decisions, milestones and risks.
- Multi-agent native support. Multiple agents share a single consolidated state with full attribution.
- Chrome extension & MCP server. One-click saving from chat windows or direct integration via MCP for any client.
- REST API & SDKs. Full API and Node.js/Python/Go SDKs to save, search, inject context and verify states programmatically.
CrewAI features
- No-code visual editor. Drag-and-drop canvas to design agentic workflows, exportable to Python.
- Role-based agents. Define distinct agent roles to simplify orchestration and ensure deterministic flows.
- Governance control plane. Real-time tracing, RBAC, audit trails, SSO and PII redaction for compliant execution.
- Continuous improvement. Automated and human-guided training turns production runs into training data.
- Multi-LLM testing. Swap models at runtime and evaluate performance with built-in metrics.
- Enterprise integrations. Supports GitHub, Slack/Teams, OpenTelemetry and can deploy to CrewAI cloud, VPC or customer infrastructure.
