mem0 is for agents that need **memory that survives a chat window**. Self-hosting it on a random docker-compose host works until the agent that *uses* the memory shares a kernel with something it should not.

jurniti treats mem0 as a **memory plugin microVM** you grant to agents — same isolation story as the rest of the platform.

## Volume honesty first

DataForSEO (2026-07-26, US) put the **mem0** self-host family around **20/mo**. This is not a head-term land grab. It is a page for people who already want mem0 with isolation, so they are not stuck grepping a README alone.

## Plugin shape

1. Run agent VMs on jurniti.
2. Provision a **mem0** memory engine microVM (`memorymem0`).
3. **Grant** it to agents that should read/write that memory.
4. Revoke when the engagement ends.

Keys and memory stay on the guest side of the platform contract. No free tier; money-back on first purchase.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is mem0?

mem0 is a memory layer for AI agents — long-term facts and preferences agents can read and write so they do not re-ask the same questions every session.

### Can I self-host mem0 on jurniti?

Yes. jurniti offers memory as a plugin sidecar: a dedicated microVM for mem0 that you grant to agent VMs. The agent runtime and the memory engine are separate boxes.

### How much demand is there for self-host mem0?

Measured US volume for the self-host mem0 family was small (~20/mo as of 2026-07-26 DataForSEO). This page exists for operators who already chose mem0, not as a volume gold rush.

### Is there a free mem0 tier on jurniti?

No. Agent and plugin VMs are paid. First purchase has a 30-day money-back guarantee. See /pricing.

### How do agents attach to mem0?

From the Memories hub after login: provision the mem0 engine VM, then grant it to the agents that should use that memory store.
