Read-only by design
CompanyOS lets AI Clients read relevant knowledge; it does not let them rewrite your source files.
A shared brain for your company or department
Your team already uses AI — but it answers from whatever file someone uploaded last, not from everything your company knows. CompanyOS hands your shared knowledge to whichever AI client each Member already opens.
Read-only knowledge access. Workspace-scoped visibility. Answers grounded with linkable sources.
It reads everything your team knows and rewrites nothing — read-only by design, not by setting.
Free during early access. No sales call required to start.
The gap
Your Members already use AI, but the useful context sits in shared folders, personal notes, old decisions, and process documents.
CompanyOS gives your company or department one Workspace brain, so the same question gets the same answer from the same visible knowledge instead of from whoever uploaded the right file last.
Keep the AI tool. Add the Workspace context it was missing.
How it works
An Owner creates the Workspace and invites Members. Use one Workspace for a company, one department inside a larger organization, a family, or another group.
Owner setup
Company Files are visible Workspace knowledge; Personal Files stay scoped to the Member who added them.
Scoped by default
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI Client over a read-only MCP Connection. Its shape follows OpenAI's documented search plus fetch pattern for ChatGPT deep research and company knowledge.
CompanyOS provides the MCP Connection; your AI Client plan controls whether you can attach custom connectors.
Answers with sources
Trust boundary
CompanyOS lets AI Clients read relevant knowledge; it does not let them rewrite your source files.
Answers can use Workspace knowledge that a Member is allowed to see, with Company Files and Personal Files kept in their proper scopes.
Responses are grounded in your files, with linkable sources so a Member can check the material behind an answer.
Owners control Workspace setup and Procedure publishing, so a Procedure's first publish never happens without Owner review; later Owner edits to a published Procedure go live logged under the Owner's name.
Procedures
Once the knowledge is in, depth follows. A Procedure is reusable AI guidance owned by the Workspace; a Procedure Template shapes the output it produces. Together they turn a one-off way of working into something every Member's AI client can run again, the same way each time.
Procedure draft
Write the weekly update from these source files. Call out decisions, open questions, and owner names.
Use cases
For the founder or chief of staff who wants the team answering from the same policies, plans, files, and decisions — on whichever AI client each person already uses.
For a team lead who needs a useful local brain now, without waiting for a company-wide knowledge project or a single approved tool.
Families and other small groups, too: anyone who wants shared plans, documents, and recurring decisions in one calm place the right people can use — the same scoped, read-only brain, smaller in scale.
Per-Member visibility a shared folder can't do: every Member sees Company Files plus their own, and nothing else.
Honest comparison
Use it when it fits. ChatGPT's built-in company knowledge is a paid workspace feature, oriented around Business, Enterprise, and Education plans. If your whole team already lives in one of those workspaces, use what's built in.
CompanyOS is for the teams that don't: Members on different plans and different AI tools who want one Workspace brain, with read-only access, scoped visibility, Procedures, and linkable sources, and no move onto a single vendor's workspace tier.
A shared folder stores files. It does not decide what a Member can see, expose a read-only MCP Connection to an AI Client, package repeatable work as an Owner-approved Procedure, or return grounded answers with linkable sources.
Every Member sees Company Files plus their own, and nothing else — a folder shares everything with everyone, or nothing with anyone.
Early access
The free tier is the product, not a demo.
Create a Workspace, add knowledge, invite Members, and connect supported AI Clients when your AI Client plan allows custom connectors.
