Nysa vs Zep
Zep is a platform to build on. Nysa is ready to use.
Zep is a context graph platform: developers ingest their data through its API and SDKs, and it serves that context to agents with access controls. Nysa is a ready product for your team. It records your meetings, imports your Gmail history and syncs your Google Calendar, and gives every teammate's agent the same facts, each with its source. Pick Zep to engineer a custom context layer; pick Nysa when you want your team's context working in minutes, with one price for the team.
