Second Brain

THE Second Brain is your personal knowledge base. Unlike documents, which belong to a workspace, it follows you everywhere : a note taken in one space can be reused in another.

Function can be disabled at the instance level (Réglages → Second Brain, administrator).

The principle

You accumulate short notes. When a conversation touches on a related topic, the relevant notes are automatically retrieved and provided to the model — you don't have to search for anything.

Each note is private: it is only visible to you, not in any other user's conversation.

Feeding the Second Brain

The order /note

The quickest way, in the middle of a conversation:

/note Le client Dupont préfère être contacté par téléphone le matin.

The Second Brain panel

Viewing, creating and manually modifying notes, including their type, labels and pinning.

The agent

If the corresponding skill is activated, an agent can place a note there during a task — for example at the end of a search, to save the conclusion.

A document

An important piece can be captured as a note. The note retains a summary for future reference, while keeping the full text available.

Types of notes

The type guides recall and facilitates classification.

Of the labels Free options are added for your own groupings.

How the notes return

For each message, notes close to your question are searched for, and the most relevant ones are added to the context — only a few, so as not to overload it.

THE pinned notes These items receive special treatment: they are prioritized for recall, never deteriorate, and are never automatically archived. Reserve pinning for items that must remain permanently.

The reminder is limited in time. If it's delayed, the answer is sent without notes rather than keeping the reader waiting. A solid foundation therefore remains quick; this is yet another reason to let the consolidation process do its work.

Automatic consolidation

A background process periodically maintains your database. It performs four operations.

1. Degrowth

Each note has a strength, which slowly decreases over time and rises again each time it is actually useful to an answer.

A note that is never recalled falls below a threshold and passes into archive : it is no longer mobilized, but it is not deleted and remains available for consultation.

Pinned notes and Document type notes escape the decline.

2. Deduplication

Two almost identical notes — the same information entered twice, or a recaptured document — are merged: the older one is archived and its labels are transferred to the one that remains.

3. Automatic Links

Notes dealing with related topics are linked together. These links appear in the panel and allow you to navigate your database.

4. Summary

A periodic summary of what has been added, linked and archived.

Key takeaway: Your database doesn't grow indefinitely. What is useful remains alive; what is not useful gradually fades from memory without being destroyed.

Use it properly

One note = one idea. A short, self-contained note is easier to find than a paragraph that mixes three subjects.

Write for your future self. «"Decision: we'll keep the current provider, because the migration would take two months" is useful in six months. "Decision made" is not.

Pin very little. Three to five truly permanent notes. Beyond that, pinning loses its meaning.

Let the archiving process take its course. An archived note isn't lost; it's simply ceased to be relevant. Trying to keep everything active degrades the ability to recall what matters.

Do not put your documents there. The Second Brain retains knowledge, not corpora. For a document collection, indexing in a workspace is designed for that purpose.

Privacy and deletion

• Your grades strictly personal.
• You can edit, archive, or delete any of them at any time.
• The deletion is permanent and removes the note from the reminder immediately.
• If an administrator disables the function, the notes cease to be used.

Not to be confused with memoirs

THE memoirs retain who you are A few short facts, systematically injected. The Second Brain retains what you know : a significant volume of notes, selected based on relevance.
