Memory system: graph, RAG and Supermemory

Brett Goldstein and Naveen Sreekandan from Micro join Shane and Abhi to talk about why they believe the future of productivity looks completely different from what we have today.

Micro is an all-in-one productivity platform: email client, CRM, calendar, tasks, docs, meeting notes, and a powerful AI agent,  all built on a unified graph where every object (like emails, people, companies, meetings, documents) is interconnected.

The thesis is simple but bold: email isn't just a list of messages to get through. It's the world's most-used CRM, travel app, hiring tool, and developer notification system.

Micro restructures that data so each use case actually feels like the right tool for the job — your sales pipeline as a Kanban board, your GitHub notifications as a task board, your contacts fully enriched from every email and meeting you've ever had.

Brett walks us through the demo: the daily orchestrator automation that audits itself, updates its own prompt, generates your day plan, and has even prepped talking points for this interview. Context docs let the agent know everything it needs. The CRM auto-fills and auto-updates from emails and meeting notes. The X integration lets the agent pull recent posts from anyone you're about to meet.

Naveen covers the architecture: built on Mastra, using agent and workflow primitives on top of a graph-based data model backed by Postgres with a custom query layer called Prism. One main agent with dynamic context injection handles both chat and automations — the agent knows whether it's in automation mode (just give the output) or chat mode (ask follow-up questions). Supermemory powers vector search. Dedicated sub-agents handle specific workflows, such as email labeling and meeting note summarization.

MASTRA?
Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework designed for building and shipping AI-powered applications and agents with minimal friction. It supports the full lifecycle of agent development—from prototype to production. You can integrate it with frontend and backend stacks (e.g., React, Next.js, Node) or run agents as standalone services. If you’re a JavaScript or TypeScript developer looking to build an agentic or AI-powered product without starting from first principles, Mastra provides the scaffolding, tools, and integrations to accelerate that process.
