Corporate Memory is the collective intelligence of an organization. In traditional firms, this memory leaves the building every night (in people's heads). In an AI firm, memory is codified in Vector Stores and Model Weights, ensuring that the organization never un-learns a lesson.
What is Active Corporate Memory?
It is not a shared Google Drive (which is passive and hard to search). It is an Active RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) System that listens to conversations, ingests documents, and proactively surfaces relevant information during decision-making.
The Memory Stack
Ingestion
Connectors that suck in emails, Slack, and Docs.
Embedding
Turning text into math (vectors) so computers can understand "concepts" not just keywords.
Retrieval
Finding the exact paragraph needed to solve the current problem.
Synthesis
Generating a summary answer for the human operator.
Short Answer
If your employee quits, do they take their expertise with them? In an AI firm, the expertise is transferred to the system as it happens, decoupling value from tenure.
