FROM THE TEAMS

SurrealDB gives us a foundation where we can unify semantic search, knowledge graphs, and AI-driven decision making without stitching together multiple systems. Collapsing responsibility into SurrealDB has become our default engineering posture.
Justin Foley

VP of Engineering, Later

GET STARTED

Start with the database, or start with Agent Memory. Both run on one engine. The database is a free account away. Agent Memory is open to the waitlist.

SurrealDB

The context and memory layer for AI agents

Database. Graphs, vectors, documents and relational data in one engine, in a single ACID transaction.
Agent Memory. Connects and retrieves context wherever your data lives, every fact carrying its source.
Cloud. Fully managed, in the cloud provider and region you choose.
