Company Brain: structured memory for how your company decides
A company brain is not a wiki dump or a Slack export. It is queryable memory built from decisions your team confirms. Each saved decision has a summary, source link, confidence score, and group. Connect Office, GitHub, Xero, and more. You confirm what becomes memory in Capture.
What is a company brain?
Every company already has a brain spread across senior operators, legal precedents in inboxes, and the three people who remember why billing stayed a separate service. When they are busy or gone, Slack fills the gap.
Software makes that judgment queryable: saved by humans, scoped by group, linked to sources. Read the full overview in What is a company brain? or see what a company brain captures.
Company brain vs wiki vs enterprise search
Wikis capture documentation after the decision, when context is fading. Enterprise search indexes what was written somewhere. A company brain captures what someone confirmed was worth keeping, often in Slack before anyone wrote a doc, with provenance on every answer.
Compare directly: Ignius vs Glean (memory creation vs search) and why search and memory creation solve different problems.
How Ignius Company Brain works
- Connect platforms including Office, GitHub, and Xero. We identify decisions in your past and find them as they are made.
- Capture inbox: you confirm what becomes a saved decision. Nothing saves silently.
- Brain organizes decisions in groups (Operator, Portfolios, Partner, Employee) with timeline, map, and graph views.
- Chat reads saved decisions inside the groups you pick and answers with citations. Team asks a peer's scope.
See it on sample data: Horizon Logistics demo or Company Brain for teams with five brains and a live capture queue.
Who needs a company brain
Ignius tends to matter when people still Slack seniors after search fails on “why” questions, when institutional knowledge walks out the door, or when cross-functional teams need the decision, not another doc link.

- Institutional knowledge that survives turnover
