FAQ

What is BigBrain?

BigBrain is an agent-first personal knowledge management system. It's an auto-organizing personal library you can drop anything (web pages, emails, meetings, code, notes, papers, books) into. It can pull from everything: Granola, email, Slack - whatever you use! It can pilot any agent from any provider you subscribe to.

It also ships with a cool, keyboard-friendly exploration UI + an agent launching interface - good for people who run lots of agents at the same time on different projects.

Vaults are always local. You can bring your own subscription or your own private model. And it's all completely free and open source.

Does BigBrain connect to [thing]?

It can. We ship with a few integrations, and you can very easily write your own.

Doesn't [OpenAI/Anthropic/etc] have memory?

Yeah, for that provider (and usually only in the chat interface; rarely for coding agents). BigBrain works for any model, including agents, and always will.

Also, those memory features are not rich context. You have no idea what you're missing out on.

But I use MCP

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I have to set it up for each model provider I use, and it doesn't have rich context on my life. You think it has rich context? You have no idea what you're missing out on.

W-w-w-well I have a Markdown Vault

You LIKE maintaining a Markdown Vault? Are you SICK?

Oh, you have your agents maintain it? Enjoy your SLOP!!! They're going CRAZY in there! They're getting stuff wrong and then they're reading the wrong stuff over and over!!! And you're PISSING TOKENS editing all those Markdown files!

BigBrain uses an append-only log of assertions. We always know who claimed something. You? A model? Which model? We always know!

But I use [Emacs/Vim/Doom/Org mode/something else perverted like that]

I was once like you. Don't worry. There are keyboard shortcuts, so you can go no mouse like an absolute sicko.

Free. Bring your own subscription.

Hi!

Can you tell me, briefly, what you use agents for, and what your hopes and dreams are for BigBrain?
