How do AI agents transfer context between sessions and share memory with other agents? ReMe, MemOS, Memori, ClawMem, Redis — 5 new GitHub repos tackling multi-agent memory handoff in 2026.
When an AI agent finishes a session and another agent (or the same agent in a new session) needs to continue — how much context survives?
By default, nothing survives. Every session starts from scratch. This is the handoff problem: transferring learned context, decisions, and state between AI agents and sessions.
"ReMe tackles two core problems of agent memory: limited context window (early information is truncated or lost in long conversations) and stateful memory across sessions." — agentscope-ai/ReMe on GitHub, 4 days ago
"Multi-agent memory sharing — multi-instance agents share memory via same user_id, automatic context handoff between sessions and agents." — MemTensor/MemOS on GitHub, 4 days ago
"AMA: Adaptive Memory via Multi-Agent Collaboration — Proposes a multi-agent memory framework with hierarchical granularity, adaptive consolidation." — VoltAgent/awesome-ai-agent-papers on GitHub, 20 hours ago
Official MemOS Cloud plugin for OpenClaw. Recalls context before execution, saves conversations after each run.
On-device context engine and memory for AI agents. Claude Code and OpenClaw. Hooks + MCP server + hybrid RAG search.
Redis Agent Memory Server for OpenClaw. Long-term memory with vector search across conversations.
"By default, OpenClaw agents forget everything between sessions. The Memori plugin fixes that."

# agent-memory: external memory layer for handoff
pip install agent-memory
# Start MCP server — shared path enables handoff
python -m agent_memory.mcp_server \
--storage redis \
--host localhost \
--port 6379 \
--path agent-memory
# Any MCP agent can now read/write to shared memory
# Handoff is automatic — next agent just reads the store
