Local-first knowledge graph

Shared context for your team and your agents.

Ingest a document once. Everyone on the team, and every AI agent they use, can traverse it, with the sources attached.

How it works

From a pile of files to a graph, in three steps.

01

Drop in what you already have

PDFs, decks, spreadsheets, email, Drive, Gmail, GitHub repos, exported chats. Screened for sensitive data before any model reads it.

PDF DOC XLS PPT MD
Plus any PDF, Office, or text file, a pasted link, or a local git repo. All sources ↓
02

An agent builds the graph, once

People, projects, decisions, meetings, and concepts each become one markdown file. Relationships are plain links. Every fact keeps its source.

03

Answers for people. Context for agents.

Teammates chat with the graph and get cited answers. Coding agents and assistants read the same folder over CLI or MCP. Nobody ingests the file twice.

Shared context

Build the context once. Share it with the team and every agent.

Context is the layer AI-native companies run on. Yours lives in one place: a personal vault you can carry, or a team vault you share like a folder. What one person ingests, everyone can ask about, and every agent can traverse.

Each name in an answer is a node in the graph, with its sources one click away.

What changed across Relay, and who owns the next steps?
Read projects/relay.md Read people/ada-patel.md Read meetings/relay-release-readiness-review.md

Relay is ready for a focused partner review. Relay keeps the first rollout bounded. Ada Patel coordinates the outcome and Julian Morgan owns delivery.

The standing decision is Keep account context traceable; the next checkpoint is the release readiness review.

Early results

Three pairs. One coding task. 20.6% lower run cost.

Three activated pairs on one privacy-detector coding task. Costs combine recorded and transcript-estimated usage. Quality was mixed: the blind judge preferred the graph arm in one of three pairs.
