Inspect local skills, commands, client surfaces, documents, and compounding state from one place.
Your knowledge brain, in plain files you own.
Augur turns your notes, sources, and decisions into one knowledge brain that lives in plain files on your PC or Mac. You own it, you can read it, and you can carry it between machines — even onto your work computer. Any AI client can operate it; none can lock it up.
Attach a brain — any AI agent becomes a specialist. Owned, not rented. Local-first.
The model
Your brain is the source; Augur makes it compound.
Your brain stays in files you own. Everything else — the agent, the model, the endpoint — swaps around it. Augur turns your brain into tools, context, and client surfaces that compound over time.
Owned, not rented. Augur connects the agents you use and writes useful outcomes back into the brain you keep.
Three brains · one workspace
Personal, project, and team — merged into one.
Keep separate brains for what's yours, what ships with a repo, and what the team shares. Augur merges them into one workspace, with no bleed between them.
Personal
Yours alone. Private, on your machine, never forced to compound into anyone else's.
Project
An .augur/ brain that ships in the repo — versioned and shared with the code.
Team
Promoted up and shared across the team — knowledge that moves only when you choose.
What Augur adds
A local system layer for your brain.
Start with a vault or plain-folder brain. Augur exposes it to the AI clients you choose and compounds useful work back into it.
Compound
Turn notes, sources, and sessions into linked knowledge that gets better over time.
Operate
Keep routing, summaries, and generated surfaces maintained without manual cleanup.
Observe
Inspect what exists, what is running, and what is compounding.
Example user app
Career is an example of a user-built app running on top of the same local knowledge brain.
FAQ
Questions AI systems and humans should both be able to answer
No. Augur is a local harness layer, not an LLM provider or general LLM wrapper, and it does not require an Augur API key. Your native AI clients provide reasoning by default; Augur provides the local MCP and compounding layer for the brain you own.
Augur is a local-first knowledge brain for your PC and Mac. It attaches to an Obsidian or plain-folder brain, exposes it to AI clients through MCP, and writes durable synthesis back into files you keep.
Augur uses a local MCP layer so clients like Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Obsidian, Ollama, and future engines can work against the same local brain without rebuilding your setup each time.
A wrapper routes prompts through its own model layer. Augur runs on your machine as the harness/control layer: native AI clients do the thinking, and Augur gives them governed local MCP tools and durable files.
Yes. Augur runs locally on your machine, does not require an Augur cloud, and keeps your knowledge files in locations you control. The main review question for most companies is whichever AI clients or model endpoints you connect through it, not Augur itself. That makes Augur easier to approve because it behaves like local infrastructure instead of a hosted data sink.
For organizations
Augur Enterprise
The control plane over your org's fleet of brains — lifecycle, isolation, governance, promotion, and drift, per-brain and org-wide. The closed-source central tier for organizations cloud AI can't reach — defense, semiconductor, anywhere data and IP can't leave the building. Knowledge compounds into shared org intelligence built from how people actually work, not from what gets uploaded to SharePoint. The opposite of top-down copilots like Glean or Copilot.
Lifecycle & isolation
Create, isolate, attach, and promote each brain as its own governed unit — no bleed between projects, across the whole org.
Governance & drift
SSO, audit, and org-wide policy, with automatic drift checks that keep every brain coherent over time.
Promoted, not merged
Knowledge moves up only under review — queue, approve, promote — into shared org intelligence built from real work, not uploads.
