Company second brain
Everything your company knows, one question away.
Your files, email, chat and meeting notes in one private brain your team can ask.
of the workweek goes to looking for information or tracking down the colleague who has it.
McKinsey Global Institute, "The social economy," 2012.
The knowledge exists. Finding it is the problem.
One person knows
Pricing history, client promises, how a process really runs. When that person is out or leaves, the answer leaves too.
Five places to check
The proposal is in Drive, the change is in an email, the reason is in a chat thread. Search finds files. Nobody connects them.
Your tools in. Answers out, where your team works.
Read-only connections to the systems you already pay for. Answers show up in Slack, Teams or a private web app.
Four levels
From folders to a brain, in four steps
The same 90 records at every level. Most companies are stuck at the first.
01
Files and folders
Documents sit in Drive, inboxes, chat and the CRM. Each tool has its own search, and nothing knows the proposal, the email and the meeting are about the same client.
Typical tools: Google Drive, SharePoint, shared inboxes.
02
Linked notes
Notes link to the people, clients and projects they mention. Patterns start to show, like the one client that touches every project. Someone still has to read the map.
Typical tools: the graph view in note apps.
03
Ask in plain English
AI reads across everything and answers with sources. Ask what was promised to a client and get the answer, plus the proposal and email it came from.
Typical tools: AI search over company files.
04
A company knowledge graph
Every person, client, project, decision and process becomes a record with typed links: who owns what, which decision changed which project, and when. Questions that span many records get dependable answers.
Typical tools: enterprise platforms like Glean, sized here for a 5 to 50 person team.
Explore a company brain
This is Northline, a fictional 30-person company. Every point is a record: a person, client, project, process, decision, meeting or document, linked by how they relate. Drag to turn it, search it, or pick any record to see everything it connects to.
Try it
Ask Northline anything
Type a question or pick one. Northline is a fictional company, but the format is what your team gets: a direct answer, then its sources.
How it gets built
The whole system on one page. It draws as you scroll.
Sample data. In a live build, answers come from your own documents and respect who can see what.
What's included
- Connections to Drive or SharePoint, email, Slack or Teams, your CRM and meeting notes
- A knowledge graph of your people, clients, projects, decisions and processes
- Answers with sources in Slack, Teams or a private web app
- Access that follows the permissions you already have
- Nightly sync, so new documents are in by morning
- A live map of your company's knowledge, like the one above
- Team training, then monthly tuning
Who it's for
Professional services
Client history, past proposals and engagement notes, searchable by the whole team.
Agencies and studios
Briefs, brand rules and every round of feedback, one question away.
Property and real estate
Transaction files, vendor contacts and local know-how in one place.
Operations-heavy teams
SOPs, vendor terms and the how-we-do-it knowledge in one person's head.
How a build runs
Map
We list your sources, who will use the brain and the 20 questions they ask most.
Build
I connect the sources, model your people, clients and projects, and test against those 20 questions.
Launch
Your team starts asking in Slack, Teams or the web app after one training session.
Improve
Monthly tuning based on what people ask and where answers fall short.
Your knowledge stays yours
In your accounts
It runs in your cloud or on a server you control. Nothing is copied to a shared platform.
Permissions carry over
People only get answers from documents they can already open.
Not used for training
Business AI services don't train on your data by default. A fully private model is an option.
You own it
Your data and your system, in your accounts. If we stop working together, you keep everything.
Just you? A personal second brain.
For founders and executives: your notes, reading and decisions in one place, with an AI assistant that remembers your context.
Questions
What is a company second brain?
A private knowledge base built from your company's own files, email, chat and notes, organized as a map of your people, clients, projects and decisions. Your team asks it questions in plain English and gets answers with sources.
How is this different from uploading files to ChatGPT?
An upload is a one-time snapshot one person makes. A company brain stays connected to your tools, updates itself, respects who can see what, and links records together so it can answer questions that span many documents.
Where does our data live?
In your own cloud account or on a server you control. Answers come from business AI services that don't train on your data by default, or from a private model if nothing can leave your network.
What does it connect to?
Common sources include Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion and meeting-note tools. Other systems can usually be added.
What does it cost?
It depends on the number of sources and the size of the team. Pricing is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts.
