The problem
Notes pile up. Understanding doesn't.
Notes, transcripts, and research files accumulate faster than anyone can connect them by hand. Contebrain reads what you drop in and integrates it into a living knowledge graph, so the connections between files surface on their own instead of staying buried in a folder.
How it works
A cockpit for your own knowledge.
A natural-language ask bar sits over the graph, backed by a set of skill commands, align, audit, integrate, commit, that keep the wiki honest as it grows. A pluggable AI provider layer separates answers the vault can already give for free from the ones that need a paid model call.
01Living knowledge graphRaw files are parsed and woven into a wiki that updates as new material comes in, not a static export.
02Ask bar + skill commandsNatural-language questions plus explicit /align, /audit, /integrate, and /commit commands to steer the graph.
03Zero-token firstA pluggable AI provider layer answers from the vault for free when it can, and only spends a paid AI run when it can't.
