Which AIs does it work with?
Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and any other AI that supports MCP. You paste an address and authorise once. Today Claude requires a paid plan for custom connectors; on ChatGPT you upload our plugin, a file you download, on any plan. Those are their requirements, not ours.
Do I need to have notes already?
No. Most people start from nothing and their Cobrain grows as they work. If you already have notes somewhere — in Notion, in a folder, in old chats or in Obsidian — your AI can bring them in: there is a guide.
Can my AI read PDFs and documents too?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Attach a file to a note and your AI opens it: PDFs, scanned ones included, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages and Keynote. From a video it sees a few frames; audio, not yet.
Does the person receiving a share have to pay?
Never. A free account is enough. The plan is paid for by whoever shares.
What if I stop paying?
You lose nothing. All your notes stay, and shares already active keep working read-only. You go back to the free plan limits for anything new. Reactivate and everything picks up where it was.
Can I take everything with me?
Yes, whenever you like, in one go. They are .md files in folders: what comes out opens with anything.
Where is my data, and who can read it?
On servers in Europe, in Ireland. Notes and attachments are encrypted with one key per brain: the database cannot read them. Only Cobrain’s server opens them, to show them to you and your AI. Every save keeps the previous version.
