Turn your work data into your AI's memory
Connect Slack, Google Meet, Google Drive, and Notion. Essence accumulates your work into a private knowledge base (RAG) and plugs it straight into Claude Code and other AI tools.
Your data, your house, connected to your AI — on your terms.
Bring in the data you already work in
Essence pulls from the tools your team lives in and keeps them in sync.
Slack
Channels, threads, and decisions made in conversation.
Google Meet
Meeting transcripts and recordings, made searchable.
Google Drive
Docs, sheets, and slides across your shared drives.
Notion
Wikis, specs, and project notes from your workspace.
More sources on the way
From scattered data to a working memory
Three steps, and your AI knows what your team knows.
Connect your sources
Authorize Slack, Google Meet, Google Drive, or Notion in a few clicks. Pick exactly what to bring in.
Accumulate into Essence
Essence indexes and embeds your content into a private vector store (RAG), kept fresh as your data changes.
Connect to your AI
Plug an Essence House into Claude Code over MCP and your AI answers with your team's real context.
A house for every context you work in
An Essence House is a knowledge base you own and manage. Keep work and personal separate — or spin up one per project.
Personal and organization houses
Belong to an organization like Biyard, and still keep your own private houses.
Many houses, one you
Run as many houses as you need — each with its own connected sources.
Per-user data ownership
RAG is connected at the user-data level. You decide what each house holds and what your AI can see.
Connect your houses to Claude Code
Bring your accumulated context to where you already build, over MCP.
All houses at once
Connect every house you own with a single MCP endpoint — your full memory in one place.
House by house
Or connect a single house, so each project gets exactly the context it needs.

}Your data stays yours
Built so you control what is connected, accumulated, and exposed.
You own your data
RAG is scoped to your user data. Connect and disconnect sources at any time.
House-level isolation
Each Essence House is isolated, so private and organization context never mix by accident.
Encrypted credentials
OAuth tokens for your sources are stored encrypted with envelope encryption (KMS).
Access on your terms
Decide which houses an AI client can reach, and revoke access whenever you want.
Give your AI a memory worth keeping
Start with one source. Build a house. Connect it to Claude Code.
