Daniel led ML at SparkPost (acquired by MessageBird), and previously founded KnowledgeTree (another popular open source project from the 2000s). Despite taking on marketing and corp dev roles in previous lives, he remains an engineer at heart.\n\nDaniel accidentally started Zep when he got frustrated that no delightful software existed to do what Zep does today. He built an early version and stuck it up on GitHub, and one thing led to another.","slug":"Kd4-zep-long-term-memory-for-ai-assistants","created_at":"2024-03-12T13:34:56.206Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:10:25.792Z","total_vote_count":70,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Kd4-zep-long-term-memory-for-ai-assistants","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=79302\u0026key=user_uploads/808515/c1ac513c-7ef4-4406-b98a-3e3b4ff94134","company":{"id":29425,"name":"Zep AI","slug":"zep-ai","url":"https://www.getzep.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/834036f2803ad1fb4cf8305e1be757592a8588a1.png","batch":"Winter 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Developer Tools","Infrastructure","Conversational AI","AI Assistant"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29425"}}
