Why teams use it
Figure it out once. Your whole team knows how.
Every team has steps that live in someone's head: how the monthly report gets built, why a number was chosen, what a client always asks. Brainstack saves them when you say “save this” in the AI you already use, so the next person who gets that ask can handle it.
- Client context“What Harbor asked for in the renewal”
- How reports and decks get built“How we build the monthly scorecard”
- Decisions and the why“Why 3%, not 5%”
- Standard procedures“Steps for a new vendor setup”
How it works
Save it once. Ask for it later.
Save from your AI
Do the work with your AI as usual: a report, a deck, a recap. When it's done, say “save this.” It saves the how and the why: the steps, the decisions and the reasoning, plus where the report lives. The numbers stay in the report.
Your AI tells you where each note went and who can see it. Before anything is shared, Brainstack itself checks it for sensitive details (ID numbers, pay, HR and health, “confidential”, and your own words like client names or project code names) and asks you first.
Ask from your AI
When someone else gets that ask, they ask their own assistant.
It searches every brain they're in and finds notes by what they mean, even when the words are different. The answer says where each part came from: the brain, the person and the date.
See it all on the web
Open Brainstack in a browser: your brains, who's in each one, and every note you can see.
Read any note, see who changed it last, and switch between a list and cards. Fixing your own note looks just like reading it: headings, lists and checklists, with a toolbar.
Try it yourself
Try it yourself.
Click around the real Brainstack web app, running on a simulated server with made-up data. Pick something to see and a guide will walk you through it, or try a scripted example of asking your AI to set things up. Saving, searching and managing brains also work right from your AI.
The Brainstack web app, with made-up data
Nothing to sign up for, and all the data is made up.
- A brain for each team or client.
- Each person has Read (search and read) or Write (also save).
- Admins set up brains and choose who's in each one. Everyone also has a private brain. Only you can see it, admins included. You can still share a single note from it when you choose.
Connect your AI
Works in the AI you already use.
- Claude
- ChatGPT
Microsoft 365 Copilot- Claude Code
- Any MCP app
Brainstack works inside the AI your team already uses: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot. It's one connector, and we set it up with your team.
Ask in your own words. Brainstack finds the notes that answer it, even if they use different words.
Where it runs
Hosted by us, or on your own server.
One product, two ways to run it. Your team sees the same Brainstack either way.
Hosted by us
- Nothing to install.
- Your team signs in with Google or work email.
- We run the updates and the backups.
On your own server
- A small server you control.
- Your own sign-in: Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra or any OIDC provider (such as Okta).
- Your notes are stored only on it.
Requirements, install steps, sizing and security:for your IT person
- Does it record everything?
- No. Brainstack only keeps what someone asks their AI to save during their work: say “save this” and it's saved. Nothing else is captured, and it doesn't read your email or files.
- Who can see what I save?
- Everyone in the brain you save it to, including people who join later, and anyone you share a note with directly. A note saved to your private brain stays there unless you choose to share it. After every save, your AI tells you where the note went and who can see it.
- What if I save something sensitive by mistake?
- Before anything is shared, Brainstack checks it on the server, not with the AI, so it can't be skipped. It looks for ID numbers, pay details, HR and health language, confidentiality markings, and your company's own list of words, like client names or project code names. If anything matches, it asks you first. Passwords and access keys are stripped from every save automatically. If something still lands in the wrong brain, you can move it to another brain, and you or an admin can delete it. A deleted note can be restored for 30 days (it comes back private).
- Does it find a note if I don't use the same words?
- Yes. When you ask your AI, Brainstack looks for notes that mean what you asked, not only notes with the same words. If nothing you can see is about it, it says there are no matches.
- Does the AI company see our notes, or train on them?
- Your assistant sees a note while it writes it. When someone asks a question, Brainstack passes their assistant only the notes they may see. Their assistant handles those notes under your company's existing agreement with that AI company, and that agreement decides whether it may train on them. Brainstack's search runs on an internal model inside Brainstack, so notes are never sent to an outside service to be searched.
