Getting started Trust and longevity Buying GigabrainGetting started
What exactly arrives after I pay?
A complete knowledge system for your AI agent, with source ingestion, semantic and lexical retrieval, a persistent knowledge graph and citation-verification tools.
Gigabrain System buyers receive a private download link by email when payment clears. If you add the Loop Pack, it is attached to the same System licence. Group buyers receive a private page where they add each recipient's name and email. We invite each person to accept the licence before we create their copy. Every download is individually watermarked and includes START-HERE, the licence and a checksum. If you add guided setup and business scoping, your booking link arrives after payment.
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent pairs an AI model with tools so it can read files, run commands and work through tasks you give it. Claude Code and Codex are examples. The software around the model is sometimes called a harness: it gives the model access to tools and manages how it uses them.
Gigabrain gives your agent a connected knowledge system to draw on across sessions. You’ll need an agent that can work with local files. Check compatibility for your agent and version before getting started; some integrations need manual steps.
What do I need to run it?
A computer running macOS, Windows or Linux, plus a file-capable AI agent. Standard agent plans can start at about $20 a month. Install your agent first, then follow START-HERE inside the zip. Gigabrain uses that agent for writing and reasoning, so it does not add a second conversational-agent subscription. If you can reach your agent or Obsidian vault from your phone, you can use that setup there too.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Your agent reads the manuals and does the work. You say what you want in plain language. If something breaks, paste the error to your agent and ask what happened.
Which agents does it work with?
Gigabrain runs on portable files and local tools that a file-capable agent can use. We assess compatibility with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Grok, Hermes, Aider and an Ollama-based wrapper. Automatic checks depend on your agent and adapter version. See which integrations we have tested and which need manual steps.
Trust and longevity
What went into building and testing Gigabrain?
Building Gigabrain took months of engineering, refinement and use in real businesses. Each release is tested the way a customer will actually use it. All 24 loops are run against fixed examples. Separate tests try to break the system with conflicting sources, stale indexes, interrupted work, concurrent agents, hostile source content and damaged files. Finally, an independent agent opens the finished download with no prior context and follows the setup from start to finish. If anything fails, it does not ship.
Where does my data live?
Your Gigabrain files and indexes live on your disk in formats you can inspect. Ordinary ingestion, indexing and retrieval run locally. Gigabrain does not upload your vault to us.
Optional cloud-assisted graph authoring sends selected source packets to the provider named in your consent settings, only after your explicit approval. The included Codex author uses OpenAI through your own account, under that provider's terms. Scheduled ingestion can repeat those approved calls until you revoke consent.
A hosted AI agent processes what you share with it under its provider's privacy terms. Remote Git backups can also copy files to a host you approve. The privacy notice explains these choices.
What happens when AI platforms change?
Your notes remain yours as plain files, even if you change AI platforms. Updates adapt the loops to platform changes. Each update is signed, and your agent applies it as a single Git commit you can undo.
What can I see before I buy?
See the test results and worked example and the tested agents and versions. The kit includes repeatable Kestrel and Ashcombe tests that check how Gigabrain handles corrected facts and missing evidence. Each loop also has a repeatable drill, and an independent agent checks the finished download from a clean setup before release.
Buying Gigabrain
How does the guarantee work?
Ask within seven calendar days of successful delivery for a full refund of the digital product. We ask you to acknowledge that the covered licence ends and that you will delete the product files. We do not ask for invasive proof. A guided setup and business-scoping session is refundable until the booked session begins. Statutory rights still apply. Read the full refund policy.
Is Gigabrain a subscription?
No Gigabrain subscription is required. Gigabrain System and the optional Loop Pack are one-time purchases. System includes 12 months of core updates. The Loop Pack includes every v1 update, the existing v2 upgrade benefit and the existing future marketplace benefit. Model access and associated provider fees are separate. See current prices and inclusions. Existing purchase rights and renewal commitments remain unchanged.
What should I buy?
Start with Gigabrain System for the complete knowledge and memory system, 12 months of core updates and the tools to build your own workflows. Add the Loop Pack if you want all 24 prepared automations and its recorded update benefits. Add a one-hour setup and business-scoping call with the founder of Gigabrain for $499 when bundled with System, or $750 when purchased later. The Loop Pack is $49 with System or $70 separately. All prices are before tax. Group purchases cover 2 to 50 named System licences. The Loop Pack can be added to every seat.
Can I add the Loop Pack later?
Yes. The Gigabrain Loop Pack adds all 24 prepared automations and its recorded benefits to one eligible System licence. It stays with the same person and seat. It is not a separate runtime or another transferable licence. Verify your licence email through the owner upgrade flow. You will see the current price before payment.
