## Short bio (≈ 60 words)

**Tab Levitas** is the founder of Memagen™, an open-core agent platform
with a typed, time-aware memory graph. Levitas previously [PRIOR ROLE
PLACEHOLDER — to be supplied] and writes engineering essays at
<https://memagen.com/notes>. Memagen™ is led from a single workstation,
runs without external compute, and is funded by Pro tier sales rather than
venture capital.

## Long bio (≈ 160 words)

**Tab Levitas** is the founder of Memagen™. The project started as a
single-author research codebase exploring whether agents could be given a
memory substrate richer than flat chat history or vector-only retrieval —
specifically, a typed graph in which entities and edges carry temporal
validity, and in which contradicting facts are recorded as supersession
rather than deletion.

Memagen™ is the resulting platform. Its open-core Lite tier is MIT-licensed
and contains the action-tool harness, multi-provider LLM router, lenient
parser, and capability vault. The Pro tier is the proprietary memory engine
and consolidation systems.

Levitas writes engineering essays on the project blog at
<https://memagen.com/notes> and publishes research-paper-format writeups
of every subsystem at <https://memagen.com/papers>. Memagen™ is
self-hosted, bring-your-own-LLM, and funded by Pro tier sales rather than
venture capital.

[PRIOR ROLES, AFFILIATIONS, AND EDUCATION PLACEHOLDER — to be supplied
by the founder before publication.]
