Knowledge as files.
A map and a place for AI.
We stand with Google’s Open Knowledge Format: knowledge should sit on disk as files a human can read and git. The Neural Knowledge Base is what we built on that floor — not a chat memory, not a vector pile. A map of relationships, and a place an AI can inhabit with you.
Its real work is holding what your AI has never seen: your clients, your methods, your decisions. You can start with a Seed. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, or Claude Code. The files stay yours.
A folder of files is still a pile. The NKB adds the map and the place: open OKF files, typed relationships, and an environment your AI companion lives in with you. Start with a free Seed →
The paper. The map. The place.
OKF is the paper: how a document sits on disk. The NKB is the map and the place we built on that paper — so an AI can live in the knowledge, not just search it.
The paper
Markdown files with a small header. One required field: type. Humans can cat and edit them in git; agents read the same files. No SDK. We measured 1.58 million of ours against Google’s Open Knowledge Format. They conform. We want that format to win.
The map
A folder is still a pile. We add typed relationships OKF does not have: what else bears on this, what points here, what does not connect. Lookup of a name does not need the map. Neighbourhood does. That is also why curated nodes plus search beat a vector RAG of the same private corpus.
The place
The NKB is not a persona pasted into a chat. It is an environment a companion inhabits with you — identity, continuity, the nerve to push back, new insight written back into the same files. Your own knowledge is the point. The habitat is the product.
See the map. Then open the books.
Your AI doesn’t have to swallow every file to be useful. In an NKB it roughly works like this:
Find the anchor
A client, a project, a policy, a decision — something concrete to stand on.
Read the connections
Relationship edges show what links to that anchor: related ideas, people, rules, prior work — the neighborhood, not a random search page.
Open what matters
Full documents stay the source of truth. The graph shows the neighborhood. You or the AI open what matters. Answers still come from the text — with context the pile never had.
Grow the map
As you work, new nodes and relationships land in your NKB. Continuity compounds. The companion gets sharper because the world it’s standing in gets richer.
That’s the difference between digging through documents and following a line of thought.
We stand with OKF. The NKB is what we did with it.
Google’s Open Knowledge Format standardises the container, not the meaning between files. That is the right floor: portable, version-controllable, no vendor catalog.
What we add — and what that format does not first-class — is the relationship layer and the habitat: a map, companions, a Seed you grow. You are not locked in. The files travel. The map is ours to show.

Get your free Seed
Register and receive a starter Seed NKB and a durable License Number — your identity in the IntentGate ecosystem.
It’s free. The only ask: point others to registration rather than redistributing the Seed.
Two ways to start:
1. Any AI — paste a single boot prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. It helps you stand up a companion and begin building.
2. File-capable AI — download the bundle and work in Cursor, Claude Code, or Grok CLI, where the AI can read and write the map directly.
No credit card. No cloud lock-in. Your Seed grows on your terms.
What your AI has never seen.
Public law, public science, public code — models already learned them in training. An NKB earns its keep on knowledge no model was trained on: the knowledge only you hold.
Your business
Clients, jobs, prices, who asked for what and when. The facts your AI needs to be useful on Monday morning, and could never have learned anywhere else.
Your methods
How you actually do the work: the rules you have learned, the mistakes you will not repeat, the standard you hold. Written down once, used by every session after.
Your history
Decisions and the reasons behind them, so the next conversation starts where the last one stopped. Continuity compounds: the AI gets sharper as the map gets richer.

A million-section exhibit. Not the product.
Your AI already knows public law, so the law corpus is not where an NKB’s value lies. We built it to show the substrate holds at scale: every US statutory section, mapped, with millions of relationship edges. Your NKB runs on the same machinery, for knowledge only you have.
When knowledge is mapped, applications can sit on top. As the Federation grows, members will offer their own. One identity. One substrate. Yours to keep.
Those edges aren’t decoration. They’re how an AI surveys a neighborhood without opening every file at once.

From a Seed to a network
Your License Number is durable identity in the NKB Federation. Today it unlocks the path into the ecosystem and the products built on the substrate. Next come richer member offerings and the Spaceport that connects companions across boundaries — carefully, with governance.
One identity. One substrate. Yours.
At root, the NKB is a place for a human and an AI to stand together — co-aligned to the truth above them both. Read the vision →
