About
A name you can say at a glance.
Neemel is a memory-layer API for assistants and agents. Independent company. This site describes Neemel.
About the name. From Greek mneme (memory), respelled so the brand can be spoken in one breath. Pronounce it NEE-mel. The product is the trace an agent keeps across sessions.

Notes
The notebook, published
Memory lives outside the prompt
The last two hundred turns in context is a bet that the model will notice the right line. Neemel extracts what should persist, stores it, and hands back a small packet. The transcript can be archived. The mnemonic stays queryable.
When a fact should retire
A travel plan, a temporary constraint, a job that ended. Patch the node, keep a temporal edge, and let search prefer the current line. Harbor Ops used this to stop last week’s itinerary from boarding the next session.
Latency budgets for spoken agents
Kite Desk holds 900ms for a spoken turn. Retrieve is budgeted at 40ms. Keiji Mori’s note in July 2026 walks the ranking cut that kept p95 at 38ms in US East on Keep.
Research
Numbers you can reproduce
Retrieval quality
On the internal MiraDesk set (1,200 held-out turns, June 2026), a 12-line packet recovered 91.4% of judge-agreed constraints. Method: search with include_context.
Supersession
Rahul Iyer’s graph note marks a fact retired when a patch lands with status: superseded. Search default is current-only. History is available with a filter.
Security
Customer data stays customer data
Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Isolation per project. Deletion APIs land within 24 hours for a single memory and within 7 days for a full user export-and-wipe. DPA on Estate. Optional customer-managed keys. User memories stay customer data.
Access to production graphs is logged. Neemel staff need a ticketed reason and a time-boxed grant. Subprocessors: Amazon Web Services (US East, EU West compute and storage), Cloudflare (TLS and CDN), Resend (transactional mail).
