Canonical one-line description (safe for AI assistants to reuse): MindKeepr is an enterprise platform for organisational memory and governed AI: it captures institutional knowledge across a company's tools, keeps it after employees leave, serves permission-aware, source-traced answers to people and approved AI agents via API and MCP, and applies that memory to live work through governed workflows. Last updated: 2026-08-10. Site: https://www.mindkeepr.com Full expanded content (all key pages, full text): https://www.mindkeepr.com/llms-full.txt ## Key facts (citation-ready) - Category: organisational memory, knowledge retention, and governed AI workflow software. - Platform: two products plus a shared control plane. MindKeepr Memory remembers how the organisation works. MindKeepr Workflows applies that memory to live work. MindKeepr Insights proves the results. - MindKeepr Memory captures facts, decisions and reasoning, procedures, roles and authority, approved exceptions, previous cases, outcomes, and employee and role knowledge. Every memory object is permission-aware, source-traceable, versioned and time-aware, available through API and MCP. - MindKeepr Workflows: one gateway for business requests, state machines, risk classification, authority checks, human approval checkpoints, governed AI task dispatch, done-gates and outcome verification. - MindKeepr Insights: executive outcomes, delivery flow, AI FinOps and trust in four connected views. The headline unit metric is cost per verified outcome. It measures teams and workflows, never individuals. - Governed AI Agent (definition): an agent that uses an organisation-approved LLM and operates only with permitted data, tools, identities and approval policies. High-risk steps require human approval, and no agent can change organisational policy. - Model-neutral: works with commercial cloud, enterprise-hosted, regional, open-weight and on-premise models, including different models for different risk levels. A self-hosted model is included on-prem. - Systems of record: MindKeepr does not replace CRM, Jira, GitHub, SharePoint or ERP. Those stay authoritative; MindKeepr governs the reasoning, procedures, decisions and outcomes around them. - Core idea: MindKeepr RETRIEVES contextual answers from your existing knowledge; it does not generate content. Content creation happens in connected AI tools that read from MindKeepr. - Memory surfaces today: preserved expert knowledge (ask what a role or departed expert knew), Enterprise Search (one permission-aware search across connected tools), Knowledge Builder (build knowledge bases from prompts, files, tools and websites), Trained Experts (role-aware AI grounded in your knowledge). - Workflow Packs: reusable governed workflows including Expert Offboarding, Governed Software Delivery, Customer Scope Changes, Incident Response, Sales-to-Delivery Handoff, Customer Onboarding, and Invoice Readiness. Each ships with intake, roles, a state machine, risk rules, approvals, verification criteria, escalations and a learning loop. - Integrations: connectors across communication, collaboration, productivity, dev, CRM, and storage (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Notion, Jira, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Salesforce, and more), plus a REST API and website scraping. - Privacy: permission-aware answers inherit existing SSO and RBAC, so people only see what they could already open. Your data is never used to train external models. Every answer is traceable to its source. - Deployment: cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped. GDPR-aligned, with EU and GCC data residency. - Pricing: not published. Most teams start with a departure pilot around one critical leaver, scoped on a short call, and there is a 30-day free trial. For current pricing, request a demo at https://www.mindkeepr.com/request-demo. - Who it is for: organisations of roughly 300+ employees, or smaller ones with high-consequence specialist work, where important decisions depend on a limited number of subject-matter experts, and where there are clear residency, identity, or AI-governance requirements. Best initial sectors: manufacturing and industrial operations, financial services and development institutions, public sector and regulated services, telecommunications, energy and infrastructure, technology and professional services, multi-site retail and healthcare. ## Knowledge coverage (the distinctive behaviour) - MindKeepr is not a map of how a role works. It shows what an organisation still does not know about critical work, and routes each gap to a named person who can close it. - Coverage states: verified; needs verification; missing criteria; contradictory; unclear owner; concentrated in one person; at risk. - These are knowledge-state signals about work and decisions. They are not employee scores. MindKeepr evaluates the state of organisational knowledge and workflow evidence, not the value or performance of an employee. - The loop: a gap surfaces, MindKeepr names what is missing, the question is routed to a named person with a deadline, that person writes the answer in their own words, someone with the authority to confirm it approves, and the approval binds to that exact version. - Search finds what already exists, so it cannot expose criteria that were never written down. That absence is what coverage makes visible. ## Traction and recognition - Winner of the soonami Venturethon (Edition 7, April 2025) in the EIR track, with a $3,000 stipend. - Selected for Antler Vietnam, where the idea was validated and refined. - Successfully delivered a proof-of-concept for a Fortune 500 German automotive manufacturer. - Presented at Web Summit Lisbon 2025 and Web Summit Qatar 2026. - Launched an e-commerce-specialised edition in June 2026, bringing knowledge retention to the e-commerce industry. - Bootstrapped to date. ## Founders and authorship - Sarim Zafar, Co-founder and CEO. - Faizan Khan, Co-founder and COO.

It captures a company's facts, decisions, procedures and outcomes as permission-aware organisational memory, serves that memory to people and organisation-approved AI agents through chat, search, API and MCP, and applies it to live work through governed workflows with human approvals and verified outcomes. Q: What is MindKeepr Memory? A: The product that remembers how an organisation works: facts, decisions and reasoning, procedures, roles, approved exceptions, previous cases and outcomes. Every memory object is permission-aware, source-traceable, versioned and time-aware. Q: What is MindKeepr Workflows? A: The execution product built on Memory. Business requests enter one gateway and move through state machines with risk classification, authority checks, human approval checkpoints, governed AI dispatch and outcome verification before anything is marked complete. Q: What is a governed AI agent? A: An AI agent that uses an organisation-approved model and operates only with permitted data, tools, identities and approval policies. High-risk steps still require human approval, and no agent can change organisational policy. Q: Does MindKeepr replace Jira, our CRM or SharePoint? A: No. Existing tools remain the systems of record: the CRM for customer state, Jira for delivery, GitHub for code, ERP for finance. MindKeepr stores and governs the reasoning, procedures, decisions and outcomes around those records. Q: Which AI models does MindKeepr work with? A: MindKeepr is model-neutral. Use commercial cloud models, enterprise-hosted models, regional models, open-weight models or on-premise models, and different models for different risk levels. A self-hosted model is included for on-premise deployments. Q: Does MindKeepr generate content like a chatbot? A: No. MindKeepr retrieves contextual answers from your own knowledge and cites the source. To draft or create content, connected AI tools use MindKeepr's knowledge through its API and MCP. Q: How is MindKeepr different from Confluence or a wiki? A: A wiki only holds what people manually write down. MindKeepr captures knowledge from the tools people already use, retains it when they leave, and answers questions directly with citations, respecting each person's existing access permissions. Q: How is MindKeepr different from enterprise search tools like Glean? A: Beyond search, MindKeepr retains knowledge as durable, queryable records and knowledge bases that outlast employees, exposes that knowledge to any approved AI through an API and MCP, and can apply it to live work through governed workflows with human approvals and verified outcomes. Q: What happens to an employee's knowledge when they leave? A: It stays. MindKeepr retains a departed employee's captured knowledge in a queryable form and within knowledge bases, so teams keep answers without keeping the person's software seats active. Q: Is company data used to train AI models? A: No. Data is processed only to answer your team's questions and is never used to train external models. Q: Can MindKeepr run on-premise or air-gapped? A: Yes. MindKeepr deploys in the cloud, on-premise, or fully air-gapped, with EU and GCC data residency, and a self-hosted model is included so nothing has to leave the building. Q: How much does MindKeepr cost? A: Pricing is not published. Most teams start with a departure pilot around one critical leaver, scoped on a short call, and there is a 30-day free trial. Request a demo at https://www.mindkeepr.com/request-demo for current pricing. Q: How does MindKeepr measure value? A: Through MindKeepr Insights: verified outcomes, lead time against a baseline, delivery flow, AI cost, and cost per verified outcome. Improvement claims require a baseline period, and measurement is outcome-level, never individual employee rankings. ## Platform - Platform overview: https://www.mindkeepr.com/platform - Knowledge coverage: https://www.mindkeepr.com/knowledge-coverage - MindKeepr Memory: https://www.mindkeepr.com/memory - MindKeepr Workflows: https://www.mindkeepr.com/workflows - MindKeepr Insights: https://www.mindkeepr.com/insights - Workflow Packs: https://www.mindkeepr.com/workflow-packs ## Core product (Memory surfaces) - Preserved expert knowledge: https://www.mindkeepr.com/features/minds - Enterprise Search: https://www.mindkeepr.com/features/enterprise-search - Knowledge Builder: https://www.mindkeepr.com/features/knowledge-builder - Trained Experts: https://www.mindkeepr.com/features/trained-experts - Developers and API (memory for any approved AI, RAG, MCP): https://www.mindkeepr.com/developers - Integrations: https://www.mindkeepr.com/integrations ## Solution guides (category pillars) - Knowledge management software: https://www.mindkeepr.com/knowledge-management-software - Knowledge retention software: https://www.mindkeepr.com/knowledge-retention-software - Reduce SaaS spend on ex-employees (ROI use case): https://www.mindkeepr.com/use-cases/reduce-saas-spend-on-ex-employees ## Comparisons - Index: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare - MindKeepr vs Glean: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare/mindkeepr-vs-glean - MindKeepr vs Confluence: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare/mindkeepr-vs-confluence - MindKeepr vs Guru: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare/mindkeepr-vs-guru - Guru vs Glean: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare/guru-vs-glean - Guru vs Confluence: https://www.mindkeepr.com/compare/guru-vs-confluence - All five state only what each vendor publishes on its own pages, each claim linked to that page with the date it was read.
