Memory is the hard part

Most teams reach for a vector database and call the memory problem solved. Then a year passes and they discover their agents are quoting deleted documents, leaking context across tenants, and hallucinating provenance.

The Memory Layer in CobatOS treats memory as a governed graph. Every write has a scope, a TTL, and a signature. Every read is policy-checked. When a customer asks 'where did this answer come from?', we can answer with cryptographic certainty.

Retrieval is the last 5% of the memory problem. Governance is the other 95%. We'd rather lead with the hard part.
