The AI brain is a git repository

In the middle there is git

The brain is a folder of Markdown files in a git repository. That is the whole of it, and it is the part that has to be boring: a file you can open in any editor, with the history of every change behind it. Nothing sits in between you and it.

Nothing about it is special to Notula. Delete Notula and the brain is still there, still readable, still yours.

Around it, wherever you keep it

GitHub, GitLab, or any other. The host is where the repository is kept and nothing more: it holds the brain, it does not own it. Move the repository somewhere else and everything in this picture still works, because none of the rings above it know or care which host is underneath.

The tools that write into it, and you

Around that are the tools that add to the folder, and the people who do. Each one saves what it knows as Markdown, in the same repository, in a folder you chose for it.

• 01

  Notula for Google Meet

  A finished call saves itself into the repository as Markdown, with speaker names, and a call that comes back every week goes where it went last time. The extension is free.

• 02

  mdexport

  A command that pulls GitHub, Slack, Linear, Google Docs and Notion into local Markdown files. Register a source once, then sync whenever the brain needs fresh data.

• 03

  The agents already working there

  Claude Code, Codex and Cursor write Markdown better than they write anything else, into a repository they already have. Notula tells them the conventions of the folder they are writing into, which is what the briefing is for.

• 04

  You

  The decision nobody recorded, and the paragraph of context no tool will ever produce. A person writes into the brain too, and usually carries the part that matters.

Notula gives you access to the brain

A folder of Markdown in a repository is reachable by anyone who can clone it, branch, commit and open a pull request, which in most teams is the engineers and nobody else. Notula is the ring that removes that condition. The documents open like documents, with comments sitting on the passage they are about, and git happens underneath without being operated.

It is also the ring the tools connect through. The Meet extension asks Notula which repositories are open and writes into one of them, which is why a tool never needs its own idea of where your brain lives.

AI reads it, through Notula and not only

An assistant reaches the brain through Notula, and it reaches it directly too, because a git repository full of Markdown is the one format every agent already reads. There is no API to hold, no export to schedule, and no vendor keeping the memory on your behalf.

This way you build a real brain for AI: everything it knows in one place you own, versioned like code, filled by the tools you already run.
