Comparison

Busabase vs Supermemory for AI Agents

Supermemory is a memory engine: you hand it what your agent sees — conversations, files, URLs, a synced Drive — and it turns that into facts, keeps them current, and hands them back on the next turn. Busabase is where your agents and your team keep the work they will be held to: records, Docs, Skills, and apps. Every change an agent makes there arrives as a Change Request a person can read, review, and roll back.

Supermemory makes an agent remember. Busabase makes what the team knows inspectable and correctable. They sit at different layers, so the useful question is not which one wins but which job each should own. This page goes job by job.

The short verdict

The core difference: every change is a Change Request

In Busabase an edit is never a silent overwrite. Changing a record, a Doc, a Skill file, or a Base's fields opens a Change Request — a branch made of immutable commits, each with a message. Merging moves the record forward and keeps every earlier state.

Supermemory is designed to change things for you. Its engine extracts facts from what you send, and when a newer fact contradicts an older one it “replaces what was true before for search purposes; history can remain for audit.” Facts it infers from patterns are flagged, and its docs describe a review queue where someone can approve, decline, or undo them. That is careful work for memory. But the history is of facts a model derived, and review covers inferences — not the edit a person or an agent makes to a record the team relies on.

• The why travels with the what. Each change carries its message and a field-level before and after, so nobody has to reverse-engineer an edit from a log.
• Every edit has a name on it. The author, and the key or tool the change came through, are kept on the commit — you can tell the research agent from the sales agent.
• Rollback, not cleanup. Records, Docs, and Skills keep their whole history, and any change can be reverted in one step.
• Review is your choice. Writes from a key with write access merge at once. A proposal-only key holds an agent's changes in the Inbox until a person approves or sends them back.

Put simply: Supermemory keeps track of what its engine has learned about a person. Busabase keeps track of what your team has decided — reviewed first if you want, reversible either way.

What else Busabase gives your agents and your team

A memory engine gives each agent better recall. Around that, a team needs a place to keep, see, and ship the work. In Busabase these come with the workspace.

Supermemory's own docs draw the line

Supermemory is unusually clear about what it is for. Its rules page sorts information with a simple test: something “a colleague would remember” goes into memory; something looked up by meaning goes in as documents; but “Invoice #4821, total $1,340.50, status paid” belongs in “your database”, and an instruction like “Never quote internal pricing” belongs in the system prompt. It says it plainly: “Supermemory is not your system of record.”

That leaves two things for something else to hold: the records the business runs on, and the standing instructions every agent must follow word for word. Those are exactly what Busabase is for. Records live in Bases that people can filter and edit. Policies live in Docs, and the way your team works lives in Skills — one copy, read by every agent, changed only through a Change Request with an author and a diff.

Supermemory goes deep where it plays. Its graph links facts that update, extend, and derive from one another; memories are typed so preferences strengthen and episodes fade; and expired facts step aside without being erased. None of that is something Busabase tries to do. The two products fit because each one says, honestly, where it stops. For the longer version, read Agent memory vs knowledge base vs system of record.

Using them together

A split that follows each product's own advice:

1. Keep customer records, price lists, policies, and the Skills your agents follow in Busabase. Every change, from a person or an agent, is a Change Request.
2. Add Supermemory to the assistant or the coding agent, and connect the sources a person works in — Gmail, Drive, Notion — so it learns their context and preferences over time.
3. When the agent needs the exact contract term or the current price, it reads the record from Busabase over MCP or the CLI instead of relying on recall.
4. When a conversation produces something the business will be held to — a promised discount, a new contact, a changed plan — the agent writes it to a Base as a Change Request, and can send a one-line summary to Supermemory so the next conversation knows it happened.

A useful rule: if a colleague would simply remember it, put it in Supermemory. If someone will be held to it, make it a record in Busabase.

Pricing at a glance

Where Supermemory is the better choice

• Your product has to know each of its users. Profiles, facts that update and expire, and preferences that strengthen with repetition are what Supermemory's engine is built around; it reports 187 ms median server time for search.
• You want a person's own data to feed memory automatically. Connectors for Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, OneDrive, GitHub, Granola, Amazon S3, and a web crawler sync on their own, with webhooks for changes and a scheduled sync every four hours.
• You want memory inside the coding agents you already use. Plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and others work on every plan, including Free.

Busabase's limits, plainly: it has no vector index, does not extract facts or build user profiles from conversations, and does not sync someone's inbox or drive into memory. It also has no realtime subscriptions, and sign-in for the end users of apps you publish is in development (App users), not available today. If your agent needs to remember its users now, run Supermemory alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

Next step

Connect an agent you already use and have it put one real piece of team knowledge into Busabase — a price list, a customer table, a Skill. Then ask it to change one thing, and open the Change Request it produces.
