What each team's AI answers from its pages.

Your AI answers generically about your own company, because nobody wrote the company down. Here is what each team writes once, who reads it, and what its AI then answers.

sales

Your AI quotes the real floor.

Today the floor and its one exception live in two founders' heads. As a page, the draft is right before the call.

  • sales/pricing/floors.mdsealed space
  • sales/deals/declined.mdsealed space
  • team/playbook/objections.mdopen space
sales/pricing/floors.mdsealed space
asked · an exampleCan we go to $32k a year for Northwind?
the AI, from the pageNot without approval. The floor is $40k a year, and anything below it needs both founders to sign off.
Who can read itClaude Code on the computers that hold the Sales key. No web AI opens it.
support

Your AI finds last time's fix.

The same question comes back every week, and one person remembers the answer. As a page, every AI on the team has it.

  • support/known-issues.mdopen space
  • support/runbooks/billing-sync.mdopen space
support/known-issues.mdopen space
asked · an exampleA customer says invoices doubled after the sync ran. Seen it?
the AI, from the pageYes. It is the retry storm in known issues: drain the queue, then run the billing sync once by hand.
Who can read itEvery AI of the people the Support space is shared with, Claude on the phone included.
engineering

Your AI knows why the schema looks wrong.

The reason sits on the data model's page, so nobody's AI suggests the same cleanup again.

  • engineering/architecture/data-model.mdopen space
  • engineering/architecture/constraints.mdopen space
engineering/architecture/data-model.mdopen space
asked · an exampleCan I drop the deleted_at column? Nothing reads it.
the AI, from the pageKeep it. The data model says why: deletes must reach every computer, so a row is marked, never removed.
Who can read itClaude Code and Codex in the repo, and every AI its people give the Engineering space.
operations

Your AI gives the restore order at 3 a.m.

The person on call and their AI read the same steps, in the same order, with nobody else awake.

  • operations/runbooks/restore.mdopen space
  • operations/oncall/escalation.mdopen space
operations/runbooks/restore.mdopen space
asked · an exampleThe database is down. What first, and who do I wake?
the AI, from the pageBring back the database, then api, then web. Still down after twenty minutes? Page the second name on the escalation list.
Who can read itThe on-call person's AIs, Claude on the phone included.
new hires

A new hire's AI knows the company on day one.

A first month goes on asking where things are. One installer links their computer, and their AI reads the team's pages from the first question. Their first day.

  • new-hires/start-here.mdopen space
  • new-hires/style/naming.mdopen space
new-hires/start-here.mdopen space
asked · an exampleFirst day here. How do we ship a change?
the AI, from the pageOpen a branch, get one review, then merge. Start here says releases go out on Tuesdays, and names who approves them.
Who can read itEvery AI of the people the New-hires space is shared with, the new hire's own included.
your systems

Your AI rotates a password without printing it.

A page names each system, its owner, and where its key lives. Your vault holds the key, and a team script runs only at the version a manager approved. The systems it works with.

  • platform/access/map.mdsealed space
  • platform/access/never.mdsealed space
platform/access/map.mdsealed space
asked · an exampleRotate the staging database password and update whatever uses it.
the AI, from the pageDone. The credential at ops/staging-db is new, and api and worker restarted. Production is on the never list, untouched.
Who can read itClaude Code on the computers that hold the Platform key. Our server holds ciphertext.
every team

See how much each person's AI works from the brain.

Activity counts the sessions, prompts, and pages written this week, against the week before.

The Activity overview for seven days: sessions, prompts, active hours, and pages written, each beside the week before, and sessions by day for each person
the fit

Where instibrain fits your team, and where it does not.

It keeps the pages your team writes and corrects. It does not run your AI or search your file store.

it fits whenYour team uses AI every day, and it should know the company.
  • Claude Code or Codex already in use
  • Facts you would not paste into a vendor's chat
  • What people know could be written as pages
  • A model you expect to change
look elsewhere whenYou want one vendor to search, answer, and run the AI.
  • Search across thousands of raw files
  • A vendor that runs your AI for you
  • A model bundled in

Start with one team's space.

Each person links a computer, and their AI reads the team's pages.
