How Kybernesis Works
The second brain for your AI agents that learns, organizes, and retrieves your knowledge autonomously.
The Big Picture
Imagine having a brilliant assistant who reads everything you give them, remembers it perfectly, organizes it while you sleep, and can instantly recall exactly what you need when you ask.
That's Kybernesis.
Upload Your Knowledge
You can bring information into Kybernesis in three ways:
Direct Uploads
Drop in PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, or text files. We handle the messy work of extracting text, even from scanned documents using OCR.
Chat Ingestion
Paste in conversations, notes, or ideas. Great for capturing quick thoughts or importing chat logs.
Connected Apps
Link your Google Drive or Notion, and we'll automatically sync your documents. New files get pulled in on a schedule.
Smart Processing
When a document arrives, several things happen automatically:
TEXT_EXTRACTION
Whether it's a PDF, Word doc, or spreadsheet, we convert it into clean, searchable text. Scanned PDFs? We use AI-powered OCR to read the images.
INTELLIGENT_CHUNKING
Long documents get broken into digestible pieces—roughly 500 words each. We're careful to break at natural boundaries (sentences, paragraphs) so ideas stay together.
SEMANTIC_EMBEDDING
Each chunk gets converted into a mathematical representation (an "embedding") that captures its meaning. This lets us find information by what it's about, not just by keyword matching.
Dual Storage
Your memories live in two places, working together:
VECTOR_STORE
Semantic Memory
Stores the mathematical meaning of your content. This powers semantic search—finding things that are conceptually related, even if they don't share exact words.
STRUCTURED_DB
Metadata & Relationships
Stores metadata, tags, access history, and relationships. This powers filtering by date, source, or category.
The Sleep Agent
MAGICHere's where the magic happens. Every hour, while you're working (or actually sleeping), our AI agent quietly maintains your knowledge base:
Auto-Tagging
The Sleep Agent reads memories that haven't been categorized and assigns relevant tags. A document about "quarterly revenue projections" might get tagged withfinanceQ4projectionsplanning.
Relationship Building
Memories that share themes get connected. Your project proposal might link to related research notes, team meeting summaries, and budget documents—even if you never explicitly connected them.
Priority & Tiering
Not all memories are equal. Recent, frequently-accessed, highly-connected memories stay in thehot tier for instant retrieval. Older, isolated memories move to warm thenarchive tiers. Nothing is deleted—just organized by relevance.
Summarization
Long documents get condensed summaries for quick previews. You can scan what a memory is about without reading the whole thing.
Retrieval
When you search for something, we use a hybrid approach:
"What's our approach to customer onboarding?" finds documents about onboarding even if they don't use that exact phrase.
Narrow by source, date range, tags, or tier. "Show me onboarding docs from last month" combines meaning with structure.
Results come back ranked by relevance, with snippets showing why each memory matched.
AI Agents
This is where Kybernesis becomes truly powerful. You can create AI agents that use your memories as their knowledge base.
How Agents Work
Each agent has a personality (defined by you), access to your memories, and the ability to have natural conversations. Ask an agent a question, and they'll search your knowledge base to give informed answers.
Agent Memory
Agents remember your conversations. They track who you are, what you're working on, and your preferences. This context persists across sessions.
The Topology View
One unique feature is the Topology—a visual map of your memories and their connections.
Nodes represent memories. Edges represent relationships. Clusters form naturally around themes. You can see how your knowledge interconnects, discover unexpected links, and manually add connections you find meaningful.
Privacy & Security
Your memories are yours.
- ✓All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
- ✓Multi-tenant isolation ensures your data is completely separate from other users
- ✓OAuth connectors only access files you explicitly authorize
- ✓API keys let you control programmatic access
What Makes This Different
It's not just search.
Traditional search finds documents with matching words. Kybernesis understands meaning and context.
It learns while you sleep.
The Sleep Agent continuously improves organization without any effort from you.
It builds connections.
Memories don't exist in isolation—they form a knowledge graph that reveals insights.
It powers AI agents.
Your knowledge becomes the foundation for AI assistants that actually know your context.
