Introduction ​

Welcome to Kumbukum — The memory layer for AI-native teams.

Kumbukum is a place that turns scattered company knowledge into AI-ready context every assistant can use. It gives your team trusted memory you can inspect, control, and reuse across AI tools. Over time, notes, memories, URLs, and relationships compound into shared context instead of resetting every session.

Philosophy ​

The idea behind Kumbukum is simple: context compounds when it is connected, searchable, and reusable. By bringing together notes, memories, and URLs in one place, then layering on AI chat and MCP integration, Kumbukum gives your team a shared memory system instead of another black-box prompt history.

Most AI vendors hide the memory layer in a black box. With Kumbukum, you can inspect what is stored, edit it, organize it, connect it, and reuse it however your team works best.

What's Inside ​

Notes ​

Write and organize rich-text notes. Use the built-in editor or import existing documents (PDFs, Word files, plain text) by dragging them onto the page. Notes are full-text searchable and indexed for semantic search, so you can find things by meaning — not just keywords.

Memories ​

Memories are primarily used by your AI tools to provide context and improve responses. Your AI client stores preferences, decisions, facts about you or your work in memories. Notes are longer, structured documents — reference material, meeting notes, documentation. Both are searchable and accessible to all your AI tools. In practice, you don't add memories manually. However, with Kumbukum, you can also add, edit, or remove them to suit your needs.

URLs ​

Save links with a single click. Kumbukum automatically extracts the title, description, and page content so you can search through your bookmarks by what they contain, not just their URL. You can also enable full-site crawling to capture deeper context from the sites your team relies on.

Knowledge Graph ​

All your items — notes, memories, and URLs — can be connected. Links are created manually, inferred from shared tags, or discovered through semantic similarity. The graph gives you a visual map of how your knowledge relates.

How to Use Kumbukum ​

There are a few ways to get things into Kumbukum:

  • The web app — Write notes, store memories, and save URLs directly
  • Import — Drag & drop PDFs, Word documents, or text files into the Notes page
  • Browser extension — Save any URL or jot down a note without leaving your browser (available for Chrome and Firefox)
  • AI Chat — Ask the built-in chat to create notes, save URLs, or store memories for you
  • MCP Server — Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool and let it read and write directly

The MCP integration is where Kumbukum really shines. Instead of losing context between AI conversations, your assistant can store what it learns and recall it later. It becomes shared memory across your tools, sessions, and workflows.
