- Pages: the filed knowledge itself, written as readable text, organised into folders, linked together, with citations back to sources and full version history.
- An inbox: the tray where new information waits to be filed. Nothing skips it.
- Search: ask a question and it finds pages by meaning, not just keywords.
- Members: the people who can see and use it, each with a role. The member list is the privacy boundary: no membership, no access, and no way to even see the brain exists.
Your brain and shared brains
Every account starts with a brain of its own, and teams add shared ones. They are the same kind of thing; the difference is the member list:
Your work brain is where your own captures land. Shared brains are where teams build knowledge together, and things only get into them on purpose.
What a filed page looks like
When something is filed, the result is a page a human would be happy to read: a short, plain-language write-up with a title, placed in a sensible folder, linked to related pages, and ending with a note of where the information came from and when. Every change to a page is kept in its version history.Try it
- Open Brains and click into your work brain.
- Browse its pages, then open one and look for the source note at the bottom.
- Use the brain’s search box to ask a question in plain words rather than keywords.
