Chroma
Lightweight, embeddable vector store for building memory-augmented AI agents with fast semantic retrieval.
What Chroma is for
Chroma sits in the memory & context category of the agent stack. Memory and context tools give agents persistence — long-term recall, user preferences, and knowledge that survives across sessions. The difference between a demo and a product is usually in this layer.
Typical use cases
- Persistent user memory across agent sessions
- RAG pipelines grounding agents in private data
- Long-horizon task state for multi-day workflows
