Project Overview
Memoh is a multi-member, structured long-memory, containerized AI agent system platform. Users can create AI bots and chat with them via Telegram, Discord, Lark (Feishu), Email, and more. Every bot has an independent container and memory system, allowing it to edit files, execute commands, and build itself — providing a secure, flexible, and scalable solution for multi-bot management.
Architecture Overview
The system consists of three core services:
| Service | Tech Stack | Port | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server (Backend) | Go + Echo | 8080 | Main service: REST API, auth, database, container management |
| Agent Gateway | Bun + Elysia | 8081 | AI chat gateway: handles chat requests, tool execution, and SSE streaming |
| Web (Frontend) | Vue 3 + Vite | 8082 | Management UI: visual configuration for Bots, Models, Channels, etc. |
Infrastructure dependencies:
- PostgreSQL — Relational data storage
- Qdrant — Vector database for memory semantic search
- Containerd — Container runtime providing isolated environments per bot (Linux); Apple Virtualization on macOS

Key Development Rules
Database, sqlc & Migrations
- SQL queries are defined in
db/queries/*.sql. - All Go files under
internal/db/sqlc/are auto-generated by sqlc. DO NOT modify them manually. - After modifying any SQL files (migrations or queries), run
mise run sqlc-generateto update the generated Go code.
Migration Rules
Migrations live in db/migrations/ and follow a dual-update convention:
0001_init.up.sqlis the canonical full schema. It always contains the complete, up-to-date database definition (all tables, indexes, constraints, etc.). When adding schema changes, you must also update0001_init.up.sqlto reflect the final state.- Incremental migration files (
0002_,0003_, ...) contain only the diff needed to upgrade an existing database. They exist for environments that already have the schema and need to apply only the delta. - Both must be kept in sync: every schema change requires updating
0001_init.up.sqlAND creating a new incremental migration file. - Naming:
{NNNN}_{description}.up.sqland{NNNN}_{description}.down.sql, where{NNNN}is a zero-padded sequential number (e.g.,0005). Always use the next available number. - Paired files: Every incremental migration must have both an
.up.sql(apply) and a.down.sql(rollback) file. - Header comment: Each file should start with a comment indicating the migration name and a brief description:
-- 0005_add_feature_x -- Add feature_x column to bots table for ... - Idempotent DDL: Use
IF NOT EXISTS/IF EXISTSguards (e.g.,CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS,ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS,DROP TABLE IF EXISTS) so migrations are safe to re-run. - Down migration must fully reverse up: The
.down.sqlmust cleanly undo everything its.up.sqldoes, in reverse order. - After creating or modifying migrations, run
mise run sqlc-generateto regenerate the Go code, thenmise run db-upto apply.
API Development Workflow
- Write handlers in
internal/handlers/with swaggo annotations. - Run
mise run swagger-generateto update the OpenAPI docs (output inspec/). - Run
mise run sdk-generateto update the frontend TypeScript SDK (packages/sdk/). - The frontend calls APIs via the auto-generated
@memoh/sdk.
Agent Development
- The core agent logic lives in
packages/agent/(@memoh/agent), providing reusable agent streaming, tool execution, and prompt management. - The Agent Gateway (
agent/) is a thin Elysia HTTP service that uses@memoh/agentfor processing. - AI model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) are integrated via Vercel AI SDK.
- Tools (MCP, web search, subagent, skill) are defined in
packages/agent/src/tools/. - Prompt templates (system, heartbeat, schedule, subagent) are in
packages/agent/src/prompts/.
Frontend Development
- Use Vue 3 Composition API with
<script setup>style. - Shared components belong in
packages/ui/. - API calls use the auto-generated
@memoh/sdk. - State management uses Pinia; data fetching uses Pinia Colada.
- i18n via vue-i18n.
Container Management
- In Docker deployment, containerd runs inside the server container.
- On macOS, Apple Virtualization is used as container backend.
- Each bot has its own isolated container instance.
