🚀 cognee Update: June 2025

Hey there, cognee community! 👋

What a month June has been! We're here to share our latest round of updates with you. We've been incredibly busy - so busy that we've had some of our biggest announcements yet and honestly, the momentum just keeps building! 🎉

Our community has been growing exponentially, and we're seeing incredible adoption across enterprises and individual developers alike!

Check out our amazing GitHub traction!

As for Pinki, our office dog, he's back from Poland and is now our official "Head of Community Morale" - he approves of all our new partnerships! 🐕

What's New This Month?

🏢 cognee Community vs Core: Clear Path Forward

One of our biggest announcements this month is the official launch of our cognee Community vs Core distinction! We've been working hard to create a clear separation that serves everyone:

cognee Community (Open Source):

Full-featured knowledge graph capabilities
Core memory and retrieval functions
Community support and contributions
Built for production-scale deployments

cognee Core (Open Source):

Robust and minimal
Optimized for performance
Priority support
Perfect for developers, researchers, and smaller projects

This split ensures that our open-source community continues to thrive while we can provide the features that large organizations need. The best part? Both versions share the same core architecture, so upgrading is seamless!

🤝 Qdrant Partnership: Vector Search Excellence

We're thrilled to announce Qdrant as our preferred cognee partner for vector database operations!🎯

This strategic partnership brings incredible benefits:

Optimized Performance: Native integration with Qdrant's lightning-fast vector search
Scalability: Handle millions of vectors with ease
Reliability: Enterprise-grade stability for production workloads
Developer Experience: Simplified setup and configuration

Qdrant's advanced vector similarity search perfectly complements cognee's knowledge graph capabilities, creating an unbeatable combination for AI memory applications.

🔐 Permissions System: Secure by Design

Security has always been a priority, and this month we're introducing our comprehensive permissions framework:

Role-based Access Control (RBAC): Define who can access what
Granular Permissions: Control access at dataset levels
API Key Management: Secure programmatic access
Audit Logging: Track all access and modifications

Whether you're building internal tools or customer-facing applications, you can now ensure that sensitive information stays protected while maintaining the flexibility cognee is known for.

⚡ Redis & Microsoft Integrations: Enterprise Ready

This month brings powerful new integrations that expand cognee's enterprise capabilities:

Redis Integration:

Redis Vector Store: Lightning-fast query responses and ability to user Redis vector store

Microsoft Integration:

Azure Vector Search: Store memory embeddings on Azure with our Microsoft integration

🔗 MCP Updates: Next-Level Memory

Our Model Context Protocol (MCP) updates are game-changing for AI agents and applications:

Enhanced Context Sharing: Better communication between AI models and cognee
Improved Performance: Faster context retrieval and processing
Extended Compatibility: Works with more AI frameworks and models
Standardized Interfaces: Easier integration with third-party tools

🧠 Associative MCP Memory: The Future is Here

The crown jewel of this month's releases is Associative MCP Memory - a breakthrough in how AI systems remember and connect information:

Dynamic Associations: AI agents can form new connections between concepts in real-time
Contextual Learning: Memory that adapts and grows based on usage patterns
Cross-Domain Linking: Connect information across completely different domains
Emergent Intelligence: Watch as your AI systems develop increasingly sophisticated understanding

This isn't just an incremental improvement - it's a fundamental shift in how AI memory works. Early testers are reporting dramatic improvements in AI agent performance and reasoning capabilities.

📈 GitHub Traction: Community Growth

We're blown away by our GitHub community growth:

6,000+ Stars and counting! ⭐
30+ Contributors from around the world 🌍
PR number 1,000 merged 🔧
2+ Community Integrations built 🛠️

The velocity of contributions and engagement has been incredible. From bug fixes to new features to documentation improvements - the community is driving cognee forward at an unprecedented pace.
