Context engineering platform

The infrastructure layer
for AI that knows you.

Prompt engineering optimizes one conversation. Context engineering designs the information architecture that makes every conversation better — permanently. know.help is how you build that.

The insight

Most AI users are stuck optimizing prompts.
The real leverage is in what you give the model to work with.

Problem 01

Every session starts from zero

Your role, your ventures, your relationships, your voice — re-explained every time. The model is brilliant but amnesiac. Every conversation is its first conversation with you.

Problem 02

Dumping context doesn't work

Language models have a U-shaped attention curve. Paste in 10 pages of background and the model loses the middle. More context isn't the answer — structured context is.

Problem 03

Expertise doesn't transfer

The best sales methodology, the sharpest founder playbook, the most refined voice guide — locked in someone's head. No way to install it into your AI workflow. Until now.

How it works

Three layers. Each one makes the next one more powerful.

01
MCP Server

Structured knowledge base

Modular markdown and JSONL files organized by domain. A three-level loading hierarchy ensures the model always gets precisely the right context — never everything at once, never the wrong thing.

Trigger-based loadingMention a name and their full relationship history loads. Start a sales conversation and your methodology appears. No prompting required.
Plain markdown filesYour knowledge base is files on your machine. You own everything. No lock-in. Works with any MCP-compatible AI client.
Append-only logsDecisions, failures, network interactions — stored as JSONL. Stream-friendly, corruption-proof, self-documenting.
02
Living Intelligence

Knowledge base that updates itself

A crawler monitors X, Reddit, LinkedIn, TikTok, and RSS across your configured ventures. Every 6 hours, signals are extracted by AI, scored by relevance, and written back to your files automatically.

Five sources, one configSet your ventures, competitors, and key people once. know.help monitors everything continuously.
Confidence-gated writesOnly signals scoring above 0.7 confidence write to your files. Low-confidence items log separately for manual review.
Your AI gets smarter while you sleepNo approval loop. No manual curation. The knowledge base stays current without you touching it.
03
Marketplace

Expert knowledge, installable

Practitioners publish their methodology as knowledge packs — sales playbooks, voice guides, founder frameworks, industry ICP profiles. Install one command. The expertise loads into your AI immediately.

know install [pack-id]One command. Files merge into your knowledge base. The expertise is immediately available to your AI.
Creators earn 70%Publish your methodology. Get paid every time someone installs it. No platform cut beyond 30%.
Compounding valuePacks combine with your personal context. A sales pack + your network files = something no one else has.

Expert knowledge,
installable.

The marketplace turns individual expertise into shareable infrastructure. A founder who's closed $10M in SaaS deals can publish their entire sales brain as a pack. You install it in one command.

Every pack is plain markdown — you can read exactly what you're getting before you buy. The quality is transparent. The value compounds with your own context.

Open source

The MCP server is free.
Forever.

The core know.help MCP server is open source and self-hostable. Your knowledge base is plain files — no cloud dependency, no subscription required to run Layer 1.

We make money on hosting (Pro), teams (Team), and marketplace revenue share. Not on the infrastructure people build on top of.
