+## About Cognee
-cognee works locally and stores your data on your device.
-Our hosted solution is just our deployment of OSS cognee on Modal, with the goal of making development and productionization easier.
+Cognee transforms your data into a living knowledge graph that learns from feedback and auto-tunes to deliver better answers over time.
-Self-hosted package:
+**Run anywhere:**
+- 🏠 **Self-Hosted**: Runs locally, data stays on your device
+- ☁️ **Cognee Cloud**: Same open-source Cognee, deployed on Modal for seamless workflows
-- Interconnects any kind of documents: past conversations, files, images, and audio transcriptions
-- Replaces RAG systems with a memory layer based on graphs and vectors
-- Reduces developer effort and cost, while increasing quality and precision
-- Provides Pythonic data pipelines that manage data ingestion from 30+ data sources
-- Is highly customizable with custom tasks, pipelines, and a set of built-in search endpoints
