What Pensieve is

Pensieve is your context layer — a company brain that the AI you already use can read.

Connect selected company sources and Pensieve maintains cited Pages about your people, projects, customers and decisions. Your AI reads this account to get oriented, follows the evidence for detail, and uses its own tools for live records and actions.

Your tools feed Pensieve. Pensieve distils them into your company's map. Your AI reads the map to get oriented.

Your first run

Anyone can create a context. A new context starts on No plan and does no work until a trial or plan starts: book a call for a 30-day free trial, or choose a plan and pay upfront. The team starts the trial on that context after the call; creating it does not start the clock. See plans.

  1. Create a context. A context is one map, usually of your whole company. Give it a name and, if you like, a short starting brief. It starts as a single Overview Page; Pensieve shapes the rest of the map from the data you connect.
  2. Activate it. Billing opens after creation. Choose Book a call on the Trial card for the free trial, or choose a plan to pay upfront and start immediately. Once the team starts your trial, the card shows its end date.
  3. Connect a source. Notion or Google Drive can bring in the documents that explain your people, projects, and processes. You pick what's in scope and save; the knowledge footprint settles from the canonical content as each source is read. See Connectors for what each source reads.
  4. Follow the first build. Check progress on Data → Connectors. How it stays up to date explains when Pages become available and where to check individual sources.
  5. Plug in your AI. Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or your own agents to Pensieve over MCP. From then on, whenever your AI needs to understand your company, it reads the map first. Follow Setup & clients, then ask for a company briefing and check one of its citations.
