Data & context
OpenViking
A context database for agents that organizes resources, memories and skills through a virtual filesystem with hierarchical summaries and retrieval.
Overview
Research summary
OpenViking provides a persistent context layer for agents that need to work across documents, sessions, and reusable skills. It organizes resources under a virtual filesystem and exposes operations resembling file browsing and reading, together with structured retrieval. Hierarchical summaries let an agent inspect high-level descriptions before loading complete content, while session processing can retain selected memories for future work.
The repository also documents a web interface and application integration paths. This is a context-management component, not an inference model or a guarantee that extracted memories are accurate or appropriate to retain. Applications still need retention policies, access controls, model configuration, and evaluation of retrieval behavior.
The reviewed repository is AGPL licensed, which is recorded from its current license rather than inferred from older project descriptions.
