A Company Brain, often shortened to a Brain, is a shared knowledge base that gives your agents trusted context from across your organization. Use one to make product documentation, internal policies, customer knowledge, research, or other reference material available to multiple agents without copying the same files into every project.
Company Brains are currently in early access and available by request only. Open Settings → Company Brain in the Keystroke web app to request access. General availability is coming soon.

What a Brain does

A Brain turns a collection of documents and other source material into context that agents can search and read when a task requires it. Instead of placing every document in an agent’s prompt, Keystroke indexes the content and gives the agent retrieval tools. The agent can:
  • Search across the available knowledge using meaning and keywords
  • Read the relevant part of a source before answering or taking action
  • Filter knowledge by metadata, such as team, source, customer, or document type
  • Use the same managed knowledge across multiple projects and agents
  • Work from updated sources as documents are added, changed, or removed
For example, a support agent could search a Brain containing product documentation and support policies. A sales agent could use a filtered view of the same Brain for approved positioning, pricing, and customer-facing material.

How Brains work

At a high level:
  1. Add knowledge. Upload or sync documents, structured content, and other supported sources into a Brain.
  2. Index the content. Keystroke extracts text, divides it into useful sections, and builds a searchable index.
  3. Share access. Choose which projects and agents can read or manage the Brain.
  4. Retrieve when needed. An agent searches the Brain for relevant sections, then reads the source material it needs.
  5. Keep it current. When source content changes, Keystroke updates the index so future searches use the latest available version.
Each Brain has a name and description that help an agent choose the right source. When an agent has access to more than one Brain, clear descriptions make it easier to search the appropriate knowledge base for the task.

Organize shared knowledge

You will be able to create a primary Brain that owns a set of documents, then expose narrower views based on metadata. A view can make only part of a larger knowledge base available without duplicating its documents. For example, one company-wide Brain could contain material from several departments, with separate views for:
  • Product and engineering documentation
  • Brand voice and approved marketing claims
  • Finance policies and planning context
  • Customer support procedures
  • Sales enablement material
Access can be granted at the organization or project level so teams can share common knowledge while limiting sensitive or specialized sources.

Brains compared with files, memory, and skills

These features all provide context, but they serve different purposes: A Brain is useful when the source material is too broad or frequently changing to attach as static files, or when several agents need access to the same managed knowledge.

Early access

Company Brains are still being built out, so supported sources, management surfaces, and configuration may change during early access. Access is currently available by request only. Open Settings → Company Brain and select Request an upgrade to contact the Keystroke team. Company Brains will be generally available soon.
