An agent brain that synthesizes answers while you sleep
GBrain gives AI agents a persistent memory, synthesizing cited answers from your notes and wiring a knowledge graph autonomously while you sleep.

What it does
GBrain ingests your scattered data—meetings, emails, tweets, voice calls—and sits between your raw notes and your AI agent. It answers natural-language questions with synthesized prose, explicit citations, and a candid note about what it doesn’t know, rather than dumping a list of relevant pages. It also runs a continuous “dream cycle” to enrich entities, fix citations, and consolidate memory autonomously. You can deploy it as a personal brain or scope it per-user as a shared company memory.
The interesting bit
The standout trick is a self-wiring knowledge graph that extracts typed relationships—like works_at or invested_in—from every page write with zero LLM calls. On a 240-page benchmark corpus, enabling this graph boosted precision at 5 by 31.4 points over vector-only search. That gap-analysis feature, where the brain explicitly tells you what information is stale or missing, is the kind of honesty most RAG systems skip.
Key highlights
- Synthesizes cited answers with explicit gap analysis instead of returning raw page chunks.
- Self-wiring knowledge graph extracts entities and typed edges without calling an LLM.
- Runs a 24/7 autonomous “dream cycle” to ingest, enrich, and consolidate memory overnight.
- Supports multi-user company brains with login-scoped access controls and zero-leak fuzz testing.
- Ships as an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others; runs fully local with PGLite or scales to Postgres/Supabase.
Verdict
Developers running persistent AI agents—or teams tired of context loss in Claude Code and Codex—should look here. If you just need occasional keyword search across a few markdown files, it’s probably overkill.
