# Intentface OS

> An agent-native brain for everything your team knows.

**The right context in the right place.**

Your knowledge deserves a home, and a librarian who keeps it current. Intentface OS is an agent-native brain for everything your team knows.

Intentface OS is an agent-native brain for your organisation's knowledge: files and folders you own, an index of concepts in your team's vocabulary, and one workspace that every model and every agent reads from.

## Just-in-time context for agents and humans

### Built for people

Compose yourself or with agents. Brand templates present your knowledge the way people prefer to read it, not as raw markdown.

- **Slackbot in your Slack** — Ask from any channel and get cited answers, and stamp trust right inside the conversation, where it costs nothing.
- **App in your pocket** — Capture a note, index a link, or find a quick answer when you're on the go.

See [Intentface OS for humans](https://www.intentface.com/os/for-humans.md).

### Built for agents

Browsing and reading tools built for machines, so agents find what they need fast. Scoped access keeps each one to what you allow.

- **MCP for AI clients** — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client: the assistant orients itself and reads the same workspace you do.
- **Scoped API** — A documented REST API with an OpenAPI spec and scoped keys, so you can build your own agents, integrations, or front end.

See [Intentface OS for agents](https://www.intentface.com/os/for-agents.md).

## Real files, structured data, living views

No proprietary blobs. A workspace is a folder tree you control, and it survives export, import, and any database.

- **Folders as access boundaries** — A folder decides which people and agents can read it. Every file inside inherits the answer.
- **Every folder has an index** — A generated index of what the folder holds and what it is for. An agent reads one file to orient itself instead of opening fifty.
- **PDFs and images indexed** — Contracts, decks and whiteboard photos are read into text and searchable the moment they land.

- **Markdown** — Documents are real markdown files: prose, guides, meeting notes. Portable, diff-able, fully versioned, written in a rich editor that keeps the file clean.
- **Database** — Build tables for the structured data that never sat well in prose: deals, hours, inventory. To you it is a table; to an agent it is a database it queries with SQL.
- **View** — A sandboxed React page over one or more of your databases: a dashboard, a report, or a small interactive app. Generated in one gesture, styled with the workspace's own design tokens.

## An index of concepts, not a maze of folders

As files are saved, Intentface OS extracts what they are genuinely about and builds a back-of-the-book index: canonical names in your team's terminology, synonyms, scope notes, and pointers to every place a concept lives.

- **Your words win** — If your team says “runbook”, that's canonical and “playbook” is the alias, never the reverse. A general-purpose model has never heard of your internal project names; here they're row one of the index.
- **Search gets smart** — Queries hit the concept dictionary first, instant and deterministic, then expand with synonyms, and only then run as full-text search.
- **A mirror of the corpus** — The A-to-Z view shows where your knowledge is deep, where it's thin, and what grew without anyone noticing. Human edits are law; everything else maintains itself.

## A living web of who, what, and where

Underneath the files, Intentface OS maintains a graph connecting three kinds of nodes, so a folder of documents becomes something you can actually navigate.

- **People** — Every @mention is indexed: ask “where is Sara mentioned?” and get an answer. Rename a person and every mention across the workspace rewrites itself.
- **Files** — References between documents become backlinks, surfaced in each file's info panel, so you always see what points where.
- **Concepts** — Index entries link to every file that's about them, and to each other through see-also relations, so related ideas stay one hop apart.

## Every change has a name on it

Documents that are reference truth shouldn't change just because someone has edit access, and nothing is ever silently overwritten, by people or by agents.

- **Live mode** (Anyone edits → Agents read it as is): The file is what agents read, as it is right now. Every edit by a person or an agent lands immediately. Right for notes, logs and working documents.
- **Published documents** (Anyone drafts → Owner publishes → Agents read the published copy): People and agents contribute to a draft, but agents only read the published version. Nothing changes for them until an owner publishes. Right for pricing, policies and anything an agent will quote as truth.

- **Full history, portable** — Documents keep restorable versions; tables keep a row-level changelog with named save points; a workspace-wide audit trail logs which tool ran, on what, by whom. All of it survives export and re-import.
- **Scoped API keys** — Hand a narrow slice of the workspace to an external agent or integration: folder-pinned, expiring, shown once and stored only as a hash.

## Company brain, agent brain, personal brain

The same librarian, pointed at three different problems. Each one is just a workspace: scoped, indexed, and reachable by people and agents alike.

- **Company brain** — The core use case: your organisation's knowledge base: shared vocabulary, trusted sources, every team and every agent reading from the same room.
- **Agent brain** — A scoped workspace as an expert agent's memory: folder-pinned keys, its own concepts, scoped search. Build agents that know their domain deeply, and nothing else.
- **Personal brain** — Your own index: notes, references, the things you'd otherwise lose. The same librarian, pointed at your life instead of your company.

Connecting an agent, or building one: see [Intentface OS for agents](https://www.intentface.com/os/for-agents.md) — Intentface OS for agents: the MCP tool surface and scoped API, the orient call that maps a workspace in one round trip, the AI Janitor that keeps the index tidy, the health score agents feed, and the mounts and syncs that connect external systems.

Give your knowledge a librarian. And every agent the same room to read from.
