The Brain

The Brain is your own knowledge base inside Avioverse: one note per project, decision, responsibility or body of knowledge. Where Memory holds the two short files read on every message, the Brain holds the long-form material that Metis fetches only when it is relevant.

It is one screen. There is no library view, no folder tree, no separate editor page — a graph of your notes, a search box, and a panel that slides in when you open one.

Finding and creating

The floating box does both. Type, and it filters your notes as you go; press Enter and it opens the best match. If nothing matches — or if you keep typing past the matches — a Create row appears at the bottom of the list, so a search that finds nothing turns straight into a new note without a second decision.

The Create row sits last, not first, deliberately: the common case is finding the note that already exists.

Notes that link to each other

Type [[ in a note and pick a title to link to another note. The link works in both directions — open the target note and the linking note is listed under its backlinks, without you doing anything.

This is what makes the graph worth looking at. Notes cluster around the subjects you actually work on, and a note nobody links to is visibly on its own.

Newly created notes are also connected automatically to related existing notes. Those links are labelled as AI-suggested and can be deleted individually, so an automatic guess never quietly becomes an assertion.

Every note keeps its history

Notes have a version history with one-click restore. This matters most for the AI-written changes below: every one of them is a revision you can roll back.

What Metis can do here

Read. In any conversation it can search your Brain and pull the relevant note into what it is doing. This is why writing things down here pays off — it is knowledge you only have to explain once.

Create. Ask it to save something as a note and it does.

Enrich. A note can be sent for a background web pass. Metis plans up to two public-web searches and appends an Enriched (AI) section of at most three bullets, each citing where it came from. It appears on the note within about half a minute.

Three rules govern enrichment, and they are worth knowing:

• Your own text is never touched. The section is appended, clearly marked, and the whole thing is a restorable revision.
• The public web is the only source. It does not draw on the Avioverse regulation library or your own material for this. That was deliberately removed: a retrieved rule combined with the entities in your note is enough to produce a compliance-sounding conclusion about your operation, with a citation appearing to vouch for it. The library is authoritative one click away in the Library; a paraphrase here could only lose.
• Each bullet must restate one thing a source actually says, and must cite it, or it is dropped. Inference about your organisation, aircraft, suppliers or obligations is not permitted.

Enrichment runs under a standing preference — Always, Ask me in chat, or Never — in the Brain instructions drawer, reachable from the settings menu in the corner of the screen. The default is Ask. On Always, every new note is enriched as it is created and a notification reminds you, with a one-click way to switch it off.

Brain instructions

The same drawer holds your Brain instructions: standing guidance on how you want the Brain maintained. For example, "keep regulatory quotations separate from my interpretation", or "prefer concise pages and merge duplicates."

Source documents

You can upload a source PDF to the Brain from the settings menu. Opening a conversation about an uploaded source takes you into the full chat with the document already loaded, so you can question it directly rather than re-explaining what it is.

Getting your notes out

The settings menu has Export Brain. Your notes are yours, and leaving with them is a button, not a support request.
