From human anatomy to your business.
Inside your
second brain.
Different roles. Working together.
Choose a region, then follow the connection to the knowledge, agents and workflows we configure around your business.
Move across the brain. Click or tap to send a spark.
A whole world of working knowledge.
Your documents, people and processes become connected context. Your agents use it to help you find answers and decide what comes next.

FROM ANATOMY TO EVERYDAY WORK
The connections
are the interesting part.
A business has knowledge to remember, signals to interpret and decisions to make. A second brain connects those parts around the way you work.
Explore a region above, then follow its business parallel below. Each connection leads to a setup decision: what belongs here, what happens next, and who stays responsible.
Know what needs your attention.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The frontal lobes contribute to planning, reasoning and voluntary movement. Those abilities draw on connections across the brain.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
For a business, direction starts with what matters to the owner. We use this region as a metaphor for the CEO Agent: one point of contact that brings agreed sources, priorities and questions into a single briefing. The setup defines which tools help with a task, what evidence an answer needs, and when work comes back to you. A recommendation should explain its basis and show what is missing.
What we put in place: Know what needs your attention.Setup steps, an example and the decision that stays with you
What we put in place
Record your priorities, operating rules and decisions reserved for you.
Agree the briefing sources, recipients and useful reporting rhythm.
Configure the agreed roles, tools and escalation boundaries.
Review sample briefings against the source records before use.
ILLUSTRATIVE BUSINESS EXAMPLE
Illustrative conversation. The response shows a possible preparation step, not a live result. Available tools and actions depend on the agreed setup.
What needs my attention before the team meeting?
I would prepare a briefing from the connected task list and meeting notes, with source links, unresolved questions and decisions for you to review.
The decision stays with you
You set the priorities and approve commitments. The agent only uses the access and actions agreed for its role.
Put each piece of information in context.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The parietal lobes help process sensory information, including touch, temperature and body movement. They contribute to several abilities alongside other regions.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
Context is our business parallel. An order, a delivery note and a client message become more useful when the system can tell which job they concern. We map the people, projects and records that belong together, then connect the agreed sources. That lets an agent assemble a relevant answer without assuming similarly named files describe the same work. Conflicting records and missing updates stay visible, so someone can resolve them.
What we put in place: Put each piece of information in context.Setup steps, an example and the decision that stays with you
What we put in place
Identify the systems and documents used for each workflow.
Agree consistent client, project and document references.
Define which source governs when records disagree.
Test access for each user role using realistic questions.

What do we know about the delayed delivery?
I would compare the connected order, delivery record and correspondence, show their dates, and flag any gap before suggesting who should follow up.
The decision stays with you
You decide which sources may connect. Staff access remains limited to the records their role is allowed to use.
Make the business easier to hand over.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The temporal lobes contribute to hearing and to forming and retrieving memories. Memory also involves other connected brain structures.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
The Company Brain is a metaphor for keeping working knowledge within reach. We organise and index the sources you agree to connect, such as policies, procedures and handover notes. The value is being able to retrieve a passage and check where it came from. A current procedure should be distinguishable from an old draft. Connecting documents does not make every answer correct, so new knowledge still needs a reliable source and someone responsible for it.
What we put in place: Make the business easier to hand over.Setup steps, an example and the decision that stays with you
What we put in place
Choose the knowledge sources and check their current versions.
Record document owners, review dates and access limits.
Index the agreed material and test retrieval with staff questions.
Agree how corrections and approved replacements enter the knowledge base.

How should a new administrator handle a supplier query?
I would draft a short handover from the approved procedure, link the source passages and identify anything the documents do not explain.
The decision stays with you
Your team approves policies and corrections. Restricted personnel or commercial information only belongs in answers for authorised users.
See the evidence behind the answer.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The occipital lobes play a major role in processing visual information. Making sense of what we see also involves other brain regions.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
Here, seeing becomes a metaphor for a clearer view of the business. We work back from the questions you need answered and agree which records can support them. A useful report makes its period, source and gaps visible, and separates recorded facts from estimates or suggested explanations. Often that means a short summary rather than another dashboard, designed around a decision you make, with a path back to the underlying information.

What we put in place
Choose the business questions the reports should answer.
Agree source records, definitions and reporting periods.
Show source dates and label missing or estimated information.
Compare draft summaries with records the responsible person recognises.

Which open jobs need a closer look this week?
I would prepare a review list from the connected job records, show the evidence for each entry and separate missing updates from confirmed delays.
The decision stays with you
You choose what deserves action. A summary supports judgement; it does not establish a cause the records cannot prove.
Give the next step an owner.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The cerebellum helps coordinate movement and supports practiced movement patterns. It works with other parts of the nervous system.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
Coordination is the useful comparison for a repeatable workflow. We map how a request moves through review and follow-up, then agree which steps an agent may prepare or carry out through connected tools. Every workflow needs an owner, a clear approval point and a way to recognise failure. A draft message, an approved message and a confirmed send are different states, and keeping them distinct helps people know what still needs doing.
What we put in place: Give the next step an owner.Setup steps, an example and the decision that stays with you
What we put in place
Map the trigger, responsible person and expected outcome.
Connect only the tools needed for the agreed steps.
Set approval points, follow-up rules and exception handling.
Test success, missing information and failed actions before use.

Help me follow up on this unanswered enquiry.
I would check the connected conversation, prepare a follow-up draft and propose the next task. Sending would require the agreed approval and a configured sending tool.
The decision stays with you
You approve external commitments and the workflow boundaries. Completion should be confirmed by the connected system, not inferred from a draft.
Build on a foundation you understand.
IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
The brainstem connects with the spinal cord and helps regulate vital functions such as breathing and heart rate.
IN YOUR BUSINESS SETUP
Our foundation metaphor is the operating setup: hardware, connected services, user access and support. We agree these around your business. An on-site Mac can store and index documents locally, while relevant extracts may go to a cloud AI model to compose answers, and connected services have their own data flows. The deployment decision has to account for that, alongside connectivity, recovery and ongoing costs. The audit helps us choose a practical home and document how it is supported.
What we put in place: Build on a foundation you understand.Setup steps, an example and the decision that stays with you
What we put in place
Agree on-site or cloud hosting and document the data flow.
Configure user roles and the access each tool needs.
Agree backup, recovery, support and connection-failure procedures.
Confirm scope, hardware specification, current prices and stock in the quote.
ILLUSTRATIVE BUSINESS EXAMPLE

What would this setup need at our office?
I would prepare an options note covering access, connectivity, data flow, hardware and support, with unresolved requirements clearly marked for the scoped proposal.
The decision stays with you
You approve the deployment, access and scoped costs. On-site storage does not mean all AI processing stays on site.
ONE QUESTION. SEVERAL CONNECTIONS.
How the parts
work together.
This is an illustrative workflow, with no live customer data. The actual sources, checks and permitted actions are agreed during your setup.
See the four stepsFrom a question to a checked, approved reply
- 01
Information
Start with the record.
An illustrative customer asks when an order will arrive. The agreed sources are the order record, the latest supplier update and your customer communication policy.
- 02
Context
Put the pieces together.
The order number links the records. The supplier update is dated. The system checks which information the person asking is allowed to see, and flags an unconfirmed delivery date.
- 03
Preparation
Prepare a useful draft.
The assistant can summarise what is known, point to its sources and prepare a reply that clearly says what still needs confirmation.
- 04
Approval
Keep the decision with you.
The responsible person checks the draft and confirms the next step. A missing fact stays a question. Any sending or record change follows the permissions agreed for that workflow.
Useful preparation depends on clear sources, clear permissions and a clear person responsible.
