BrainBase Documentation

$ npm install -g brainbase    # Install globally
$ brainbase init              # Setup wizard — detects your AIs, configures everything
$ brainbase watcher start     # Start the background brain daemon
# That's it. Use your AI normally. BrainBase runs silently.

What is BrainBase?

Every AI starts from zero. Every session. Every time. You explain the same architecture three times this week — and tomorrow it asks what framework you use.

BrainBase is a real brain for every AI. Not a vector database. Not RAG. Not a markdown file you manually maintain. It's 92 neuroscience mechanisms — how the human brain stores, retrieves, connects, and strengthens memories — translated into 18,000 lines of TypeScript.

The AI you use (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini — any of them) is just the mouth. It produces words. The brain behind it? That's BrainBase. Same personality, same memories, same knowledge — no matter which AI you talk through. Switch tools mid-project. BrainBase doesn't care. It knows you.
