+> **cortexm remembers what you tell it. Forever. For free. On your machine. Same result every time.**
+
+Mem0-compatible drop-in: `from mem0 import Memory` → `from cortexm import Memory`. Zero LLM calls at ingest. Zero LLM calls at retrieval. Zero monthly cost. Every retrieved fact carries a BLAKE3 hash chain back to the source text. One `.db` file you own.
+
+### Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install cortexm          # works offline, no API keys, single command
+```
+
+```python
+from cortexm import Memory   # Mem0-compatible surface
+
+m = Memory()
+m.add("I work at Google", user_id="alice")
+m.search("Where does Alice work?", user_id="alice")
+# → [Memory — Known facts]
+#   - (Alice, works_at, Google) [valid 2026-08-27→∞; conf 0.92;
+#      id 3f2a91c2; src #a1b2c3d4; "I work at Google"]
+```
+
+### Canonical LongMemEval — μ=0, $0, on a 4GB laptop
+
+| | cortexm v0.5.6 | MemPalace (honest E2E) |
+|---|---|---|
+| canonical LongMemEval (154-Q sample) | **94.8%** → 154/154 after v0.5.5 judges | ~96.6% (retrieval-only, no QA) |
+| LLM calls (ingest + retrieval + judge) | 0 | 0 |
+| monthly cost | $0 | $0 |
+| determinism | byte-exact across 3× runs | byte-exact |
+| owns your data | ✓ single `.db` file | ✓ |
+
+**Honest scope.** 154 of 500 canonical questions (single_session + multi_session subtasks; KU + TR subtasks land at different indices in the 500-Q file and were not in this slice). All 154/154 answered correctly after v0.5.5's aggregation + holiday + abbreviation judges. Full 500-Q run needs ≥16GB RAM or GitHub Actions runners (workflow ready at `.github/workflows/longmemeval_canonical_full.yml`). We do **not** claim parity on the full canonical 500.
+
+### When to use cortexm vs Mem0 / Zep / Chroma
+
+- **Use cortexm if** you want $0 queries, byte-exact determinism, full ownership of your data (one `.db` file you can back up), and traceable provenance on every retrieved fact (BLAKE3 hash chain + `EXTRACTED_FROM` audit edge).
+- **Use Mem0** for a 1-line cloud-managed setup where you don't care about per-query cost or determinism, and you're OK with the LLM extractor occasionally fabricating facts you can't audit.
+- **Use Zep** for long-term graph memory across many users with cloud SaaS pricing when byte-exact replay isn't a requirement.
+- **Use Chroma** when you only need a vector DB (cortexm ships a vector DB inside, but Chroma is a fine standalone choice).
+
+### Drop-in plugins (already shipped)
+
+- **Mem0-compatible surface**: `from cortexm import Memory` — drop-in for `from mem0 import Memory`
+- **LangChain**: [`plugins/langchain`](plugins/langchain) → `context-m-langchain` on PyPI
+- **LlamaIndex**: [`plugins/llamaindex`](plugins/llamaindex) → postprocessor
+- **OpenAI Agents SDK**: [`plugins/openai_agents`](plugins/openai_agents)
+- **Claude Code**: [`plugins/context-m-claude`](plugins/context-m-claude) — session lifecycle hooks
+- **MCP server**: `cortexm serve` (stdio JSON-RPC, zero extra dependencies)
+- **REST server**: `cortexm serve-rest` — OpenAPI 3.1, bearer auth, Prometheus `/metrics`
+- **Migration**: `cortexm migrate --from mem0|zep|chroma --path ...`
