Own your intelligence.
Automate your work, boost your productivity, and own your tech stack. Brainoid IO is an AI-native workspace for managing your knowledge locally (Notes, Recordings, Memory, Agents). It organises your information into usable memories automatically, and lets you create AI Employees that learn, improve and are owned by you.
The app is free for personal use (local models are free; optional cloud AI is paid for separately).

Local by default: AI runs on your Mac
Your knowledge
Brainoid IO on your computer connects three offerings. These work together, rather than being numbered steps.
All in one place, connected
- Notes
- Meeting Recordings
- AI Conversations
- Coding Agents
Compounds automatically
Auto-Memory connects knowledge from your work and enriches it automatically. The network includes notes, images, code, conversations, audio and contacts.
Comes to life through your AI Employees
Your AI Employee works in its own isolated virtual computer. Example applications:
- Email Assistant
- 24/7 IT Monitoring
- Customer Service
- Co-Scientist
Private by default. Under your control.
An asset you own and evolve.
No model training by Brainoid. No advertising ID. Fully local and offline if you choose, with optional zero-retention cloud processing.
Buy AI tokens, but own your intelligence, experience and workflows as your assets, rather than handing over your expertise to rent it back.
Built for trust
Hand it everything you know. It stays yours.
What Brainoid IO promises about your knowledge, and the choices it leaves to you.
Nevertrained on.
Brainoid never uses your knowledge to train AI models.
Neveran advertising ID.
No ads, no tracking identifier, no profile of you.
Offlineif you want it.
Every AI feature can run on your Mac alone, even without internet, once its models are installed on a Mac that meets the requirements.
Frontierwhen you need it.
Use the most capable cloud models, or open models with zero data retention, hosted in the US or the EU.
Knowledge that compounds
Answer a question once. Never again.
Rented AI forgets you the moment the chat ends. Owned intelligence remembers, tells you where it learned each thing, and lets you correct it. Every meeting, note and correction makes tomorrow's answer better.
- 01
Capture
Speech records and transcribes your meetings on your Mac.
- 02
Keep
Notes holds your library as plain Markdown you can take anywhere.
- 03
Recall
Auto-Memory learns from your records (with your permission), keeps the source of every fact, and allows you to recall whenever it is relevant.
- 04
Act
Chat and your Sandboxed AI Employee answer and work from what it knows.
↻What your AI Employee produces is captured too, so the loop keeps turning.
From assistant to employee
Assistants wait. Employees get on with it.
A chatbot works only while you watch. Your Sandboxed AI Employee takes on the recurring work you would rather not do, on its own schedule, so you start the day with it done.
- Every weekday, 07:00
“Brief me on today's meetings from my notes and our past conversations.”
- Every Friday, 17:00
“Summarise this week's decisions and the questions still open.”
- When I message it on Telegram
“Find it in my workspace and reply.”
- When a task needs the web
“Research it and save what you find in my workspace.”
Proof
Our AI Employee has already contributed to scientific discovery and to building AI-native start-ups.
As a co-scientist, it helped design a state-of-the-art algorithm for one of computer science's most difficult problems. Timenix, an AI-native start-up, builds its agents with the same technology. And every day, ours helps run our own work.

Workspace separation
One workspace and one AI Employee for each part of your life.
Keep every client, project and part of your life fully separate: each workspace has its own notes, memory and chats, its own AI Employee, and its own rules for which AI may see it. Nothing you know crosses from one to another.

The difference
Renting intelligence, or owning it.
Models improve every quarter and cost less each time. What cannot be replaced is your context: what you know, how you work, what you have learned. Rent the model; own the context.
| Question | Rented AI | Owned intelligence |
|---|---|---|
| Where your knowledge lives | In other companies' clouds, split across apps | In your workspace, on your own computer |
| What it remembers | This conversation, if that | Everything you let it, with sources |
| Who does the work | You, one prompt at a time | Your AI Employee, on its own schedule |
| Which model | The vendor's | Yours to choose, per workspace |
| When you change tools | Start again from nothing | Your files and memory stay |
| How it gets better | When the vendor ships an update | Every day you use it |

No lock-in
Your models. Your choice. Per workspace.
Swap models whenever something better comes along; your knowledge stays where it is. Each workspace decides which kinds of AI may see it.
Local AI
Runs on your Mac, and nothing leaves the machine.
Zero-retention cloud AI
Open-weight models in the cloud. You set the terms (retention, region, price limit), and a request that cannot meet them fails instead of going elsewhere.
Proprietary cloud AI
The strongest closed models, when a workspace allows them.
Your own subscription
Connect an AI subscription or account you already pay for.
Getting started
Start small. Let it compound.
You do not have to move your whole working life in at once. One workspace and one task are enough to begin.
- 01
Day one
Install Brainoid IO, sign in with your free Brainoid account and open your first workspace.
- 02
That weekend
Bring in your library: a folder of notes, a few meeting recordings, the documents you keep reopening.
- 03
Next week
Hand the recurring task you dread most to your Sandboxed AI Employee. Correct it until it is right.
- 04
From then on
Every meeting, note and correction makes the next answer better. That is the compounding.
The app is free for personal use (local models are free; optional cloud AI is paid for separately).
