UnisonWhat is a Company Brain?
A company brain is shared organizational memory that AI agents and employees both read and write - decisions, facts, and context that survive personnel and session turnover.
A company brain is organizational memory that both AI agents and employees read and write: the decisions, facts, relationships, and context of a company, stored so they survive session resets, tool switches, and personnel changes.
Why companies suddenly need one
Until agents, organizational knowledge lived in people and documents, and its loss was slow. Agents change the failure rate: every session is a new employee with amnesia. Without a shared brain, each one re-derives context, contradicts past decisions, and produces knowledge that evaporates at session end - multiplied by every agent, every harness, every teammate.
What a company brain must do
- Accept writes from everything - coding sessions, voice agents, pipelines, humans (ingest)
- Keep truth current, not just stored - facts supersede each other; history stays queryable (knowledge graph)
- Respect boundaries - private working memory, team lanes, company-wide truth (shared vs private)
- Answer in prompt-shape - recall must return an injectable block, with honest abstention (context recall)
- Survive contradiction - concurrent writers are the normal case, so conflicts are first-class
That is the spec Unison is built against - the same idea as a team brain, at company scope. Start at the quickstart.
What is a team brain?
A team brain is a shared, persistent knowledge graph that every AI agent and human on a project reads and writes - so no session starts from scratch.
What is AI Memory?
AI memory is the layer that lets agents retain and recall knowledge across sessions - distinct from the context window, distinct from RAG. Types, architecture, and how teams share it.
