Robin

Knowledge management
for the AI era.

If people rely on you for what you know, Robin is for you.

  • Think tanks &
    researchers
  • Consultancies
  • NGOs
  • Public affairs &
    lobbying

There's never been a better time to invest in what you know.

  • AI does the heavy lifting. Keeping knowledge current was always too much work. Now a team of AI librarians can do it.
  • Your knowledge should be your edge. Organised into a shared context layer, it lets your team and your AI operate at speed, with integrity.

Robin is a living wiki of what your organisation knows, available wherever your AI is.

  • LivingAdd a report, a transcript or a note. AI files what matters on every wiki it fits, and keeps each one current.
  • WikiPages people can open, read, challenge and correct, one per subject: points of view, processes, decisions, projects.
  • What your organisation knowsBuilt by your whole team, every idea credited to the person who said it.
  • Wherever your AI isAsk it in Robin, or from Claude, ChatGPT and the other AI tools you already use. Every answer comes with its sources.

Robin's four promises

  • Buried
    ReachableAnyone, colleague or AI, gets your current view with the evidence under it.
  • Decaying
    LivingNew evidence goes straight to the person who owns the view, so it never goes stale.
  • Narrow
    DebatedRival views are built from the same evidence, and the best argument wins on the record.
  • Captive
    SovereignYour knowledge isn't locked inside one provider. Any model or agent can access Robin.

Reports rot.Ideas evolve.

How Robin works

  1. You log what you know.

    Reports, meeting notes, call transcripts, articles.

    Entry Field interviews: motorcycle riders, Nairobi Twenty riders and three fleet owners, logged by a research lead
  2. Robin breaks it into signals.

    One fact each, with its source and who said it. Signals become the building blocks of your knowledge.

    • The battery is the biggest single cost of the bike.1 · Supplier quote, p.2
    • Riders earn by the day, so they can't fund a big upfront payment.2 · Interview 4
    • A battery swap takes two minutes; a charge takes hours.3 · Site visit
    • + 9 more
  3. Robin files them on wikis.

    One wiki per topic: the layer of judgement that turns facts into positions.

    Wiki Our view: sell the bike, rent the battery

    The battery is the biggest cost1 and riders earn by the day2, so sell the bike without it and charge per swap3.

  4. A named person approves.

    Every wiki has a guardian. Robin drafts, they decide.

    Suggested edit

    Partner with fleet owners: they'll prepay swaps for their riders.4

    For the guardian: Mobility lead
  5. Everyone works from it.

    Ask Socrates, Robin's assistant, or the AI you already use.

    Ask · answered from your wiki Should our client subsidise the bikes or the batteries?

    The batteries. Rent them per swap, so riders never pay for one upfront12.

Why Robin beats the alternatives

AI over your filesSearch, RAG, knowledge graphs
AI that watches everything you do
Robin
Does insight build up over time?
No. Every question starts from scratch, from raw files: noisy and costly.
No. It stockpiles what it sees (a lot of noise!), out of sight.
Yes. Your view is kept and built on: clear and lean.
One current view for everyone?
No. Different people get different answers.
No. It learns each person, not the organisation.
Yes, kept current by a named person.
AI or human led?
AI led. It picks what to pull and writes the answer.
AI led. It decides what to remember.
Human led. The AI drafts, the guardian decides.
What does it see?
What you point it at.
Everything you do.
Only what you choose.

How Robin avoids hallucinations

Robin puts five checks between your sources and what a wiki says.

  1. You choose what goes in.Robin holds only what you give it.
    Your whole inbox, chat and drive
  2. It can't search the web.You can send it things from the web, but it never goes looking.
    Whatever the internet says
  3. From here on, only your trusted sources
  4. Every new claim is cited.A sentence that says something new must point to its source.
    Claims your sources don't make
  5. A second AI checks every citation.Nothing reaches a wiki misquoted or stretched.
    Misquotes and stretches
  6. A named person signs off.The AI drafts, the guardian decides.
    Anything the guardian won't sign

How a climate research organisation uses Robin

Robin makes our knowledge self-service. Users can substantiate claims from an evidence base they can trust. It is lifting the integrity floor of the work we do.

Research Director, climate research organisation
  • Client goalGet more out of everything the organisation knows, and everything it learns from here on.
  • Their criteria of successKnowledge that's organised and easy to query. Sources you can trace. And integrity: answers that stay honest to the content it has, never sycophantic.
  • The outcome with RobinA 300+ person organisation with its knowledge at everyone's fingertips: useful, reusable, high-integrity answers they can not just query, but challenge.

From knowledge management to the Judgement Interface

TodayKnowledge management

Does AI manage our knowledge for us?

TomorrowThe Judgement Interface

How carefully have we curated our judgement?

AI has made the deck, the memo and the report a click. But the quality of the output rests on how well you curate your knowledge, your judgement.

Curating judgement comes down to three questions. Robin is built around them.

  1. What do we trust?

    Which sources earn a place in the record at all.

    In RobinYou choose what goes in.
  2. What do we tend?

    Which topics deserve a standing view, and who owns each one.

    In RobinOne wiki per topic, with a named guardian.
  3. Where do we take a stand?

    Your actual view on each topic, written down and kept current.

    In RobinThe wiki itself, every claim cited.
