Overview

GBrain is a self-hosted knowledge-graph and synthesis layer for AI agents, built by Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. It ingests meetings, emails, tweets, and other unstructured data into a searchable brain that provides cited, synthesized answers with explicit gap analysis, plus a self-wiring entity graph for relational queries. It runs as a 24/7 daemon on your own hardware and can be used as a personal or team-scoped company brain.

Installation

Install in ~30 minutes: clone the repo, run the setup script (e.g., `npm install && npm run setup`), answer API key questions, then start the daemon. PGLite database is ready in 2 seconds with no server.

Problem solved

Traditional RAG and personal-knowledge tools return lists of chunks or pages, forcing the user to read and synthesize themselves. GBrain solves this by generating direct, well-cited answers with gap analysis, and by building a typed entity graph (people, companies, deals) without LLM calls, enabling relational queries that vector search alone cannot answer. It also addresses memory persistence for coding agents, which otherwise forget non-code context.

What you can build

Developers can build autonomous agents that maintain a long-term institutional memory, answer complex relational questions (e.g., 'who works at Acme?', 'what did Bob invest in?'), and prepare for meetings with synthesized briefs. It supports team-scoped access control for a company brain, and can be wired into Claude Code or Codex as a retrieval layer. The ceiling includes running hundreds of cron jobs for continuous ingestion, enrichment, and overnight memory consolidation, effectively creating a self-improving knowledge base.

Bottom line

GBrain is ideal for developers and teams who want a self-hosted, synthesis-first knowledge layer for their AI agents, especially those building company-brain or personal-memory systems. It is not for those seeking a lightweight, zero-config tool or who are uncomfortable with running a 24/7 daemon. The key trade-off is the setup and maintenance effort versus the powerful, relational, gap-aware answers it provides.
