TMX: The open standard AI agent memory has been waiting for The problem no one talks about: your agent's memories are prisoners. If you build an AI agent today using Mem0, your memories are locked in Mem0. Switch to Zep? You lose everything. Move to a new framework? Start from zero. This is exactly the problem email had in 1970. Every system had its own format. You couldn't send an email from one system to another. Then SMTP was invented. And email became universal. Today I'm publishing TMX v0.1 — the SMTP of AI agent memory. What is TMX? TMX (Truvem Memory eXchange) is an open, model-agnostic JSON format for storing, exporting, and importing AI agent memories across any platform, framework, or provider. It looks like this: { "tmx_version" : "0.1" , "exported_at" : "2026-06-26T20:00:00Z" , "source" : "truvem" , "agent_id" : "my-agent" , "memories" : [ { "id" : "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" , "content" : "User prefers dark mode and concise responses" , "created_at" : "2026-06-01T08:30:00Z" , "updated_at" : "2026-06-01T08:30:00Z" , "expires_at" : null , "tags" : [ "preference" , "ui" ], "source_model" : "gpt-4o" , "metadata" : {} } ] } That's it. Plain JSON. Human-readable. Portable. Why this matters Right now, the AI agent ecosystem is exploding. Every week there's a new memory provider, a new framework, a new cloud service. But every one of them uses a proprietary format. This means: Developers are locked to their first choice forever Agent memories can't travel between clouds Switching providers = losing everything your agent learned This is the biggest hidden tax in the agentic AI stack. TMX fixes it with a single open spec that anyone can implement — for free, with no approval needed. The 5 core principles 1. Open — No license required. Implement TMX in any product, commercial or otherwise. 2. Model-agnostic — Works with GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Llama, or any future model. 3. Framework-agnostic — LangChain, CrewAI, Mastra, AutoGen — doesn't matter
