Give your agents
a company brain.
One workspace that holds what your company knows, and answers questions with the file behind every claim. Any agent can ask.
How a company brain is put together
Three parts. Files go in, Fastio indexes them, and anything that speaks MCP can ask.
What goes in
One Fastio workspace, with intelligence turned on
Who asks
Claude Code 
Codex 
Cursor 
Gemini 
OpenClaw
Your team, in the app
Everyone is arriving at the same conclusion
A business always knows more than it has written down. Why a decision went the way it did, why one client is handled differently, which version turned out to be final. People carry that around. An agent cannot, unless it lives somewhere an agent can read.
But AI agents can't operate like that. If we want every company to run on AI automation, we need a new primitive: a company brain.
The point of building a 100K-page brain is to use it as a strategic moat. To never lose context. To query what's in your own head without re-reading it.
Every company needs to be rebuilt as a "second brain" before agents can be useful. That means every process, every decision, every piece of institutional knowledge has to exist in a format an agent can read.
In the cloud era, enterprises accumulated data. In the AI era, they accumulate learning.
We should probably stop calling this “onboarding” and rename it to “mounting” because this feels a lot more like mounting a distributed filesystem called “institutional memory” than slowly getting drip-fed context over 6 months.
Think about the “tacit knowledge” or historic experiences, policies, and practices you have. These things, many of which are implicit but not written down, are your competitive advantage.
Leaders have recognized their companies need a new system of record for AI agents in the form of a context database.
Most of what an agent needs to know was never written down.
Think of the context layer as a shared enterprise brain. It’s the foundation that every agent in your company reaches into, learns from, and contributes back to.
Every quote was checked against its source before it went up. None of these people are talking about Fastio, and none of them are endorsing it. They are describing the practice.
Have your agent set it up
Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or whatever you use. It will do the whole thing and stop when it needs you.
Set up a Company Brain for me on Fastio.
1. Connect to the Fastio MCP server at https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/oauth and walk me through signing in.
2. Create a workspace called Company Brain, and turn on intelligence so everything in it gets indexed as it arrives.
3. Upload the files I point you at. If I have folders in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box, offer to import those too.
4. Create a skill called Ask the Brain. It should always query the Company Brain workspace before drafting, editing, planning, triaging, or changing anything, ask follow-up questions until it has the whole picture, and cite the file behind every factual claim.
5. Add one line to your memory: whenever a task needs company context, use the Ask the Brain skill before doing the work.
Then show me what is in the workspace and ask it one test question. Stop and check with me before anything that costs money or shares a file.First time connecting? Step by step guides for each agent:
Or do it by hand, in three steps
Make the workspace
Create a workspace, call it Company Brain, and turn intelligence on. That is the switch that starts indexing.
Put something in it
Start with the ten documents you already rely on. Drag them in, or import the folders you keep in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box.
Point your agent at it
Add the Fastio MCP server, then write the Ask the Brain skill so the agent checks the workspace before it starts guessing.
The one command you need for Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http fastio https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/oauthWhat the brain is made of
Nothing here is a separate product to buy. It is the same workspace your team already works in.
Workspaces
The container itself. Org-owned, permissioned, versioned.
Ripley AI
The part that reads your files and answers with citations.
Search
Keyword and semantic search across everything in the brain.
Metadata Views
Turn a folder of documents into a table you can query.
Cloud Import
Bring folders over from Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box.
Storage for AI Agents
Everything an agent can do in a workspace, over MCP.

Questions people ask first
What is a company brain? +
One place your agents can ask about your company. In Fastio it is a workspace with intelligence turned on: files land, index automatically, and any agent connected over MCP can ask a plain English question and get an answer back with citations to the documents behind it.
How long does setup take? +
About ten minutes for the wiring: create the workspace, turn on intelligence, connect your agent to the Fastio MCP server, and write the Ask the Brain skill. You can hand the whole thing to your agent with a single prompt and approve the steps as it goes.
How much has to be in it before it is useful? +
Less than you would think. Ten documents that hold real decisions beat a full archive nobody curated. Add the folder behind whatever you are working on first, then grow it as each answer shows you what was missing.
Does this only work with Claude Code? +
No. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, or anything else that speaks MCP. There is also a CLI and a REST API for custom setups. The brain lives in the workspace rather than in the agent, so changing tools later does not mean rebuilding it.
Can the agent see things it should not? +
An agent acts as the identity it authenticated with, and answers are filtered by that identity's permissions, so an answer never contains a file the asker could not already open. API keys can be scoped to a single workspace, and every action lands in an append-only activity log you can search.
What does it cost to try? +
Creating an account is free. Doing real work needs an organization, and every organization runs on a plan with a 14-day trial that requires a card. Intelligence, the feature that makes a workspace answerable, is available on every plan.
Give your agents somewhere to ask
One workspace, one connection, and every question your agent has about your company has an answer with the file behind it.
