Brains
A brain is a knowledge base that's smart because it's connected. Every organization starts with one Company Brain — and can create more, each scoped to a team or purpose.
The Company Brain
Your workspace's default, org-wide brain. It's the one Slack talks to, and the natural home for knowledge everyone needs. Start here.
Why create more brains
Different teams care about different sources. Separate brains keep answers focused and access clean:
- Support — connected to your help desk and policy docs.
- Engineering — connected to your code, issues, and runbooks.
- Sales — connected to your CRM and playbooks.
Each brain has its own connected tools, its own chat history, and its own SamePage.
Access control
When you create a brain, choose who can use it:
- Whole organization — everyone in the workspace.
- Specific people — only the members you add (and anyone you invite to it).
Who can create brains? Managers and admins. Switch between the brains you can access using the picker at the top of the sidebar.
