What is the Company Brain?
Company Brain is Tycoon's built-in organizational memory — a tagged document system where your AI team stores and retrieves everything it learns about your business. No separate wiki, no external knowledge base, no lost context between sessions.
How it works
Every piece of company knowledge is a Doc with tags that define what it is and who should read it:
| Tag type | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Persistent | persistent:user, persistent:company, persistent:priority | Current truth — your preferences, company context, strategic focus |
| Memory: Rule | memory:rule | Future operating rules ("always check Vault before marking BLOCKED") |
| Memory: Lesson | memory:lesson | Past mistakes and corrections to avoid repeating |
| Memory: Knowledge | memory:knowledge | Reusable facts, methods, and insights |
| Deliverable | deliverable | Completed work artifacts — reports, audits, plans |
What gets stored automatically
- Your preferences — communication style, language, decision format, disliked defaults.
- Business context — company mission, product, target customers, brand voice, no-go zones.
- Strategy & priorities — current Goals, Projects, and strategic tradeoffs.
- Lessons learned — when an agent makes a mistake or discovers a better approach, it writes a memory doc so the whole team improves.
How agents use it
Before any substantive work, agents search the Company Brain: tyctl doc search "<topic>" --tags persistent. They cite relevant docs in their answers and write back new knowledge when they learn something durable.
Astra manages the Company Brain automatically. You focus on decisions; the AI team handles the memory.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to write docs myself? A: No. The AI team writes and maintains docs automatically. Astra prompts you only for approval on high-stakes rules or strategy changes.
Q: How is this different from a wiki? A: It's agent-native. Docs are structured (tagged, versioned, searchable) and agents write/read them as part of their workflow — no context switching, no copy-paste.
Q: Can I search past conversations?
A: Yes. Astra can search across all surfaces — docs, tasks, chat history, and assets — with tyctl grep everything "<keyword>".
Q: What about secrets and credentials? A: Those go in Vault, not Company Brain. Vault is a separate encrypted credential store.
