We raised $7.5M to scale our knowledge engine that gives AI systems memory. LLMs are powerful, but they’re stateless — once a session ends, context is gone. Companies have their own context, rules and practices. There are no solutions out there that can bring this knowledge reliably to the LLMs. At @cognee_, we’re building a knowledge engine that allows AI systems to retain context, understand relationships, and dynamically update the knowledge over time. We raised $7.5M in seed funding led by @pebble_bed — founded by @pam_vagata (ex-founding engineer, @OpenAI) and @keithmadams (founder, @Facebook AI Research Lab) and @tammiesiew - with participation from @42Cap1 and @vermilionfund and angels like @JanOberhauser from @n8n_io, Charles Dolan, @alexcrdean, @matthausk, and @RomanStanek to scale up engineering, accelerate research, and increase number of cognee deployments to clients like @Bayer from 70+ to 700+. I want to thank the team, the open source community, and to our investors for the trust. If you are struggling with memory, our devs can get cognee running with your data in 7 days. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Haystack 2.24 is live 🚀 Here are the highlights: 🔌 Simpler Pipelines New improvements in the Pipeline logic simplify the component connections, eliminating the need for OutputAdapter and joiners in many common setups, such as query rewriting and hybrid retrieval. This results in cleaner and shorter pipelines even for complex use cases. 🏁 Rankers handles duplicate documents Rankers now deduplicate documents on top of ranking, enabling cleaner hybrid retrieval pipelines with less components. 📃 File Support in Chat Generators You can now attach files (e.g., PDFs) to ChatMessage using the new FileContent dataclass when working with OpenAI and Azure chat generators (Responses API). This enables smoother document-based prompting in deterministic flows and agentic settings. 💙 Big thanks to our contributors to this releaseH 👇 Full release notes in the comments
