Scoring rubric

The five columns we compare.

Every platform gets a ● ◐ ○ on each pillar below. Same five columns as the comparison table — read these cards first, then scan the matrix.

Only when all five compound

Institutional reasoning, not point tools

Federate live data → write cited conclusions → recall them on the next agent run — across every team.

Positioning

Where Gyri wins.

vs search & synthesis

Durable cited substrate + semantic recall — not ephemeral reports that reset each session. Federated search →

vs data & graph platforms

LLM-first, citation-native, agent recall — no ontology project or forward-deployed engineers. Knowledge graph →

vs agent pipes & harnesses

The memory substrate Cursor, Zapier, and LangGraph bolt on — connect via MCP, keep your runtime. MCP integration →

vs partial leaders

Hasura federation+compute and Mem0 recall are adjacent — Gyri is the closed loop both point toward. See the matrix →

The convergence layer
for agent memory.

Federated, cited, typed — and agents that remember what they already thought.

Frequently asked questions

How is Gyri different from Glean, Notion AI, or Perplexity?

Search and synthesis tools excel at cited answers across sources. Gyri adds semantic recall of prior typed conclusions, federated compute on live operational data, and agent-native MCP delivery in one horizontal substrate.

How does Gyri relate to Cursor, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex?

Those harnesses are how teams run agents day to day. Gyri is what those agents remember — federated, cited, compounding company context over MCP. Connect Gyri MCP; keep your IDE or CLI runtime.

Who is closest to Gyri on the competitive landscape?

Hasura PromptQL is closest on federation plus compute. Mem0 is closest on agent memory layer. Glean and Causaly lead on cited enterprise or domain evidence. None productize the full closed loop: federated query → cited conclusion → compute → semantic recall in the next run.

Gyri think verbs

26 MCP think verbs —
not API wrappers.

Gyri federates into one graph. Agents orient with recall and ground, capture with reflect, and commit with promote — the full epistemic lifecycle via MCP think.

think verb=recall

Semantic orient — load prior cited conclusions before you re-derive from scratch.

think verb=ground

FTS-only orient on live federated CRM, email, and Slack — zero embed cost.

think verb=consider

Classify novelty against the workspace corpus before you commit a thesis.

think verb=reflect

Capture drafts, tensions, and questions as typed thoughts on the graph.

think verb=traverse

Multihop GraphQL in one think call — deal → contact → email → ticket.

think verb=fetch

Hydrate full rows by ref when search or traverse surfaced the right node.

think verb=promote

Gated commit — draft thought → durable cited insight the whole team recalls.

think verb=wish

Natural-language buildout — queue workspace types, connectors, and workflows.
