# ai-memory vs cua

ai-memory and cua share 14 technologies: Tauri, axum, tower, rusqlite, SQLite, Tokio, argon2, rmcp, jsonc-parser, zip, schemars, tracing, tracing-subscriber, and tracing-appender. Both are written in Rust.

- [akitaonrails/ai-memory](https://seerepo.com/r/akitaonrails/ai-memory): Solution for long term memory for agent coding CLIs and to facilitate handoff between different agent vendors
- [trycua/cua](https://seerepo.com/r/trycua/cua): Scale computer-use 2.0 with open-source drivers, cross-OS sandboxes, and benchmarks for training, evaluation, and data generation.

## Side by side

| | ai-memory | cua |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 653,695 lines written, 418 code files | 2,816,396 lines written, 3,906 code files |
| Who writes it | 37.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot | 29.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, CodeRabbit, Factory, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 8, 2026, 3,915 commits, 15,357 stars | Last push November 7, 2026, 5,960 commits, 31,935 stars |
| Tests | 248 test files. 27.5% of its code files have a test that imports them | 2,216 test files. 28.5% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
