Supermemory and Corivo both touch memory, but they operate at different layers.
Supermemory is infrastructure for giving AI products memory. Corivo is the end-user agent that uses memory, screen context, and connected tools to do work.
TL;DR
- Supermemory is useful when you are building an AI product and need a memory or retrieval layer.
- Corivo is useful when you are the person doing the work and want the agent on your Mac to already know the context.
One is developer infrastructure. The other is the product surface.
What Supermemory does well
Supermemory is designed around memory as an API:
- Store and retrieve information for AI systems.
- Add memory to agents or apps.
- Give developers a backend for contextual recall.
If you are building an AI app, that is a valuable layer.
What Corivo does
Corivo is not a memory API. It is a Mac app and local agent:
- Reads your active screen through macOS accessibility APIs, with no screenshots.
- Connects to tools like Notion, Slack, Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Google Docs, Sentry, Intercom, Mem, Feishu, and more.
- Keeps the working context local-first.
- Executes commands from the context it already has.
Side by side
| Supermemory | Corivo | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Memory API / retrieval layer | Mac-native local agent |
| User | Developers building AI products | People doing daily work |
| Screen context | Not the product shape | Yes — accessibility APIs, no screenshots |
| Connected work tools | Depends on what the builder wires | Built into Corivo settings |
| Execution | Infrastructure for other agents | Corivo's own local agent executes |
| Local-first product posture | Depends on the app using it | Corivo context lives on your Mac |
When each one wins
Use Supermemory if you are building your own AI app and need memory infrastructure.
Use Corivo if you want to stop briefing AI about your project, tools, and current screen.
