Structured memories. Real sources. Full history.
A memory in Braintake is more than a paragraph in a doc somewhere. It's a small, durable record with a title, a body, tags, sources and a complete edit history. Nothing is silently overwritten. Nothing is silently lost.
Classified
Each capture is read once and assigned a type: decision, fact, question, customer signal, process, or person. Types drive how Braintake surfaces and links it later, and how Awareness knows what's gone stale.
Versioned
Every change is recorded: what changed, who changed it, when, and why. You can roll back to any prior version. Memory is a record, not a moving target.
Linked
Braintake proposes links between memories: related, duplicate of, conflicts with, replaces. You confirm or reject in one click. Folders are optional. Most teams never use them.
The wiki problem: someone edited the answer and didn't tell anyone why.
Every edit in Braintake asks one question: "What changed and why?" The why becomes part of the memory's history. Months later, when you ask why a number is what it is, the answer is there, with who decided it.
This is the difference between a notes app and a team's memory. Notes apps remember the latest word. Braintake remembers the conversation.
The honest answers.
Can I edit a memory by hand?+
Yes. Memories are fully editable. Braintake keeps the prior version and your edit summary as part of the history. Your edit doesn't erase the past, it adds to it.
What happens to the original capture after a memory is created?+
It stays. Memories link back to every capture that informed them. Deleting a memory doesn't delete the captures, and deleting a capture flags any memory it informed.
Do we need folders or a taxonomy?+
No. Most teams use search, links and tags exclusively. Folders are available for teams that want them, but Braintake doesn't make you build a filing system to start.
What about duplicates?+
Braintake flags suspected duplicates in your Review queue with a confidence score. You merge, mark as related, or dismiss in one click.
Memory that holds its shape.
Set up in under five minutes. Your Braintake starts learning from message one.
