Company brain
00:30 / The short version
A company brain is one place where your business writes down what it knows.
So any teammate, new hire or AI assistant can find the answer, follow the same rules and pick up the work without asking you first.
Map
One Start Here page that says where every kind of thing lives.
Rules
One list of how you do things. Each rule gets an ID, an owner and a date.
Records
One page per customer, project and process, built from the same template.
AI pointer
Every AI tool you use is told: read the Start Here page before you do anything.
Built from tools you already pay for
Google Drive or OneDrive
Docs and Sheets
ClickUp, Asana or Trello
A meeting notetaker
Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini
A password manager
Answers stop living in one person's head. AI stops guessing.
Do this today15 min
- Make a shared folder called
00 Start Here. - Inside it, write one page listing where things go: customers, how-tos, tasks, passwords.
- Tell your AI assistant to read that page first.
That page is the start of your brain.
