GeezerVison is showing basicmemory.com — Basic Memory Product: Wiki, Live Notes, Documents, and Agents on Memory You Own | Basic Memory
## the product
Your knowledge. Any agent. Built to last.
> One memory every AI tool can read and write, in Markdown you own. Browse it as a wiki, build live notes on it, and put agents to work keeping it current.
A decision note: what was decided, why, and what it connects to. It's a Markdown file, so you and every agent read the same note.
## new in 1.0
Your knowledge, as a workspace. Kept current by agents.
01 · wiki
Open a project like a wiki. Not a folder of files.
Every project gets an overview page that links into its decisions, research, meetings, and people. Anyone on the team can find their way around, and every page is still a Markdown note your agents read and write.
✓Every folder keeps an index.md and a log.md in the Open Knowledge Format, updated as notes change
✓Folders, notes, and an outline for every page
✓The same notes your AI tools use, no copy to keep in sync
02 · live notes
Notes that show the work. Boards and charts, written in Markdown.
Basic Memory supports Comark, an open Markdown syntax for components. Put a KPI, a Gantt chart, a comparison, or a task board inside any note: the data sits in the note as ordinary lists and tables, and Basic Memory draws the figure. Agents write these components the same way you do, and read them back as plain text, numbers included.

✓Plus your Claude and ChatGPT history
04 · agents · beta
Agents that keep it current. And show their work.
Give an agent instructions in a note and let it follow up on meetings, link related notes, or fix facts that went stale. Every run shows exactly what it created and changed, and you can keep it, revert a note, or undo the run.
✓Run on demand, or when a new note lands in a folder
✓Ready-made agents to start from, or write your own
✓Billed by usage credits; failed runs cost nothing
A shared memory only works if both sides can read it, change it, and check each other's work. These are the parts built for that.
review
Suggest, don't overwrite.
People and agents leave comments and suggested edits right in the note, and anyone with access accepts or rejects them. Review is stored as CriticMarkup inside the Markdown file, so it stays readable plain text that moves with the note.
in the chat
Your notes, inside the conversation.
Pocketbook, the Basic Memory app for Claude and ChatGPT, opens your notes right in the chat. Browse a project, search it, see how it connects, and add any note to the conversation without switching windows.
Read a note in the conversation, then hand it to the model.
Browser agents, as you
In browsers that support WebMCP, the web app gives browser agents its own tools: search, read, and open notes, suggest edits for you to review, check live components, and download snapshots. They act as the signed-in person, in the workspace that's open.
Live updates and a merge view
Changes from agents and teammates appear without reloading. If you and an agent edit the same note, you see both versions and merge them instead of losing either.
Every change has an author
Notes record which person or agent created and last edited them, and agent edits carry the run that made them.
## any agent
Any model. Any subscription. The same memory.
Save a decision in one tool and use it in a fresh session in another. Switch models, switch vendors, run three agents at once: they all work from the same notes, and nobody pastes context between chats.

open knowledge format
Speaks OKF, the open standard for knowledge bundles.
The Open Knowledge Format is an open spec from Google Cloud for Markdown knowledge that any agent can navigate: typed notes, an index.md for each folder, and a log.md of changes. Basic Memory's wiki keeps those files current as your notes change, and bm okf export writes a whole project as an OKF bundle.
✓Typed frontmatter on every note; links become standard Markdown links
✓Relation types kept in metadata, so nothing about the graph is lost
✓Checked against the spec before it's written, with bm okf check for any bundle
