Lisa, never forgets a commit, a pr, a code change, or a saxophone lesson.
Unlike simple vector databases or file-based memory, Lisa uses Graphiti - a knowledge graph that captures relationships between concepts, not just text.
- Graph-native storage (Neo4j) - Connections matter as much as content
- LLM-powered extraction - Automatically identifies entities and relationships
- Temporal awareness - Knows when you learned something
- Semantic retrieval - Finds relevant context by meaning, not keywords
- Multi-CLI support - Works with Claude Code and OpenCode
# Install Lisa globally - IMPORTANT
npm install -g @tonycasey/lisa
# change to any project directory
cd your-project-directory
# initialize - copies in relevant files
lisa init
Once installed, Lisa works automatically. Your AI assistant will:
- Load context at session start - Previous memories and project context
- Capture important info during coding - Decisions, patterns, etc.
- Remember explicitly when asked - Say "remember that..." to save important notes
During a coding session:
- "remember that we decided to use Redux for state management"
- "hey lisa, what do you know about the authentication system?"
- "lisa, show me recent memories"
- "lisa, what tasks are we working on?"
