Knowledge sources
A source is a system the brain may read to learn. Harvesting is read-only, everything it finds becomes a proposal, and disconnecting deletes the stored credentials immediately.
What can be connected
- Microsoft 365 documents
- Documents and sites your organization already keeps in Microsoft 365. Connected with admin consent in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, and scoped to what you approve.
- Google Drive
- Documents in Drive, connected through Google's own authorization screen and limited to the access you grant there.
- Notion
- Pages and databases in Notion, connected through Notion's authorization and limited to the pages you share with the integration.
You connect a source from Connect AiAx in the portal. Authorization happens on the provider's own screen, so AiAx never sees your provider password.
How harvesting works
- You authorize the source and choose what it may reach.
- AiAx reads. It never writes back to the source, and it never deletes anything there.
- What it finds becomes proposals: candidate nodes, relations and corrections, each carrying where it came from.
- A person approves in the inbox. Only then does the graph change.
- Read-only by construction. No connector holds a write permission on your system.
- Every proposal carries its provenance, so an approver can see which document a claim came from.
- A source that cannot be read reports as unavailable. It never silently reports as empty, because an empty answer and a broken connection are not the same fact.
- Disconnecting deletes the stored credentials immediately and stops all harvesting.
What we deliberately do not connect
Transaction systems are not connected. Not the ERP, not the ledger, not the order book.
This is a design decision, not a gap in the roadmap. Company Brain models the knowledge about a process: who owns it, which systems it runs on, which policy governs it, what it is meant to achieve and where it currently breaks. It does not model the transactions the process produces. An invoice line is not knowledge about how invoicing works, and copying millions of them into a knowledge graph buys risk without buying understanding.
In practice, an agent reading Company Brain can tell you how your order to cash process is meant to run and who to ask about it, and will point you at the system of record for the numbers themselves.
