About HeyBrian
HeyBrian ingests unstructured notes, transcripts, PDFs, and screenshots without requiring formatting. It automatically organizes this content into a knowledge graph of interlinked, cited wiki pages that update as new information is added. Users can query the system at any time and receive answers backed by specific sources within their vault. The tool also proactively surfaces relevant information before deadlines or when it detects potential oversights. Every claim in an answer links directly to the original page, and the system avoids using external training data, relying solely on user-provided content. It maintains a memory of conversations and half-formed ideas, making them retrievable alongside formal notes. Pages can be exported as plain markdown and are cross-referenced to form a navigable graph.
