Structured memories. Real sources. Full history.
A memory in Brain 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 Brain 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
Brain 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 Brain 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. Brain remembers the conversation.
The honest answers.
Can I edit a memory by hand?+
Yes. Memories are fully editable. Brain 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 Brain doesn't make you build a filing system to start.
What about duplicates?+
Brain 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.
