Overview

OpenViking, from Volcano Engine, is an open-source context database for AI agents. It keeps an agent's documents, memories and skills in one virtual file system under viking://, which agents browse with commands like ls, tree, read and grep, and which you can open to inspect or edit. Each folder has a generated summary, so an agent can read summaries first and search within one folder instead of the whole index. When a session is committed, the conversation is archived and its memories are saved as Markdown files you can edit and merge.
