Your business already knows things. TAO makes them usable.
Every customer thread, every workflow run, every invoice, every commitment — they already exist somewhere in your accounts. TAO gathers them into one shared operational record, so the next conversation starts where the last one ended.
What the company brain actually is
Most software treats your business like a stranger every morning. The brain remembers what happened yesterday: who said what, which invoice went out, which job is still waiting. Not a pile of notifications, but one coherent record your whole team can read.
- Not another inbox. It is the connective tissue between the apps you already run.
- Nothing to maintain. It updates itself from the work your team is already doing.
- Nothing to migrate. It reads from what your accounts already hold, and stays where it is.
What it remembers, and where each thing comes from
Email threads
Synced from Gmail or Outlook through OAuth. The full thread, not just summaries.
Customer history
People, companies, jobs, invoices, conversations — joined into one living record.
Calendar context
Meetings, prep blocks, free time, recurring patterns — across Google and Microsoft.
Workflow runs
Every prior run of the same operational flow, with the decisions that were made.
How Andy reads it
When you ask Andy to do anything, it does not start from zero. It pulls the most relevant slice of the brain — the customer record, the workflow state, the last three threads — and drafts the next step grounded in real context. You see what it read, you see what it drafted, you decide.
- Drafts cite the source: which thread, which workflow, which prior decision.
- You can edit the draft, dismiss it, or approve it — Andy never writes invisibly.
- Memory is yours: pin a fact, ask the brain to forget something, scope what Andy can see.
Privacy boundaries, written in
The brain is built on data you already own. Provider data stays in your provider account; TAO holds the operational record needed to make the workspace useful, and not more. Restricted-scope provider data is handled under the Limited Use commitments we make to Google, Microsoft, Xero, and others.
- Provider data is never used to train generalised AI models.
- Per-workspace isolation. One organisation’s brain is not another’s.
- Disconnect any provider and the local record stays with you, with retention rules you choose.
For technical readers
The brain is implemented as a hybrid store: a relational record per organisation for structured operational state (contacts, jobs, invoices, workflow runs) plus a vector index for retrieval over unstructured artefacts (email threads, document text, meeting notes). Andy queries both layers — a graph-walk for joins (this contact, this workflow, this invoice) and a similarity search for retrieval (the right past thread, the right prior run).
Reads are scoped by the requesting user’s role inside the organisation. Writes back to providers (email send, calendar write, accounting write) go through the Approvals queue unless the operator has explicitly enabled an auto-approve rule for that class of action.
