It files what matters into an organized workspace of notes you can browse, search, and export anytime. No prompt engineering, no setup, no learning curve. WHAT IT DOES - Chat that captures: mention a person, a deal, a deadline — brainmate writes it down in the right place and confirms what it saved. - Daily Pulse: a short check-in that surfaces what needs attention — stale relationships, open loops, questions worth answering. - A real workspace: every note is plain markdown with links between people, companies, and projects.
