All Briefs
Mission Brief · 015—

One second brain for the whole company. Ours is called Pirxey World.

A second brain is one place where what the company knows is written down, and every person's assistant reads it with that person's own logins. Ours reaches twenty-five tools — chats, mail, recorded calls, the customer database, tasks, code, designs, hours, invoices, the wiki — so one person crosses thousands of records without copying a thing. About 130 people, two brands, since 15 May 2026.

25
tools one question can reach — our set, in six categories, autumn 2026; every company runs on a different set, the model is the same
582
pages of written knowledge, plus 135 recipes (a task written down once so anyone can run it), autumn 2026
912 h
given back against 156 h lost, in two weeks, self-reported by the 77 people who answered our monthly survey (all AI use, Sep 2026)

One question. Watch the route it takes.

Every star is a tool our company runs on, grouped the way a manager thinks: talk, meetings, sell, deliver, run the company, know. Your set will be different; the model — one person's logins, one question, every tool at once — works with any of them. A real question rarely lives in one of them. Pick a question and the map lights the route it takes. Tap any tool to see what it travels with, and in which questions. Then unplug a piece and read what the assistant can still answer.

Ask the company

9 questions a manager asks. 25 tools in 6 categories, as we run it in autumn 2026. Pick a question and the map lights the route it takes. Tap any tool to see what it travels with, and in which questions. The questions are teaching examples; every count here comes from the example, not from a stopwatch.

“What needs my decision this morning?”

With the assistant

7 tools across 2 categories, one answer

What came back: out of every unread thread, every mail and every call from yesterday: ten things that need your decision, three people waiting on you, two customer risks, each with a link to where it lives

Access: needs only your own chat, mail, meeting and calendar logins; everyone has them.

The answer is as good as what is written down and what your own logins can reach. Nothing more. You still check it.

What we have today

Unplug a piece and read what the assistant can still answer for the selected question.

Measured, not modeled: 912 hours given back against 156 lost, over two weeks, added up across the 77 who answered, self-reported, all AI use, not this system alone (brief 014).

Our estimate, not a measurement: how this is counted
  • Each question lists the tools the assistant really opens, in order. That list is the route; the categories it crosses are counted from it. Nothing is timed.
  • By hand: apps to open = tools on the route; people to ask = the roles you would have to interrupt. Both are counted from the question, not measured on anyone.
  • Tools off dims every connected tool; knowledge off dims the Know stars; recipes and everyone-adds have no star of their own; they only change the answer text. When several are off, the most severe wins: tools, then knowledge, then recipes, then everyone adds.
  • A question counts as reached in full only when every tool it needs is lit and knowledge is on. Tools you open yourself = needed tools the assistant cannot reach.
  • The map is the one a person's assistant reaches at Pirxey in autumn 2026, with that person's own logins. The questions and answers are teaching examples; no real names, customers or channels are in them.
The map · six categories

What one person's assistant reaches.

Your assistant logs in as you, so it sees exactly what you already see in these tools, nothing more. It also knows our company: our values, our tone of voice and how each department works. That is what makes it a second brain, not a chat window. The map as we run it in autumn 2026.

01
4 tools

Talk

Slack for two brands, Google Chat, WhatsApp where some customers write, Gmail for two mailboxes. Every thread and every unread, one question away, with the link back to where it lives.

— Pirxey World · the assistant reads them directly; you do not paste
02
3 tools

Meetings

Fireflies and Fathom record the calls and write transcripts, summaries and action items; between them they cover the calls either one joins. Google Calendar says who was there and who is free. Yesterday's calls are in this morning's list.

— Pirxey World · what was said, and when
03
4 tools

Sell

HubSpot, Apollo for outbound, LinkedIn with Sales Navigator, and Pirxey Sales Monitor, our own radar that tells sales which prospects deserve attention today.

— Pirxey World · customers, leads, open bids
04
8 tools

Deliver

ClickUp and Linear for tasks, GitHub for the code and its history, Figma for the designs, Mural for the whiteboards. Playwright opens a page and clicks it the way a person would, so the assistant can check a screen instead of describing it. Claude Cowork is where that work happens outside the terminal, and Cloudflare is where the site and its deploys live. The plan, the work and what shipped, side by side.

— Pirxey World · the work itself
05
4 tools

Run the company

PirxeyOS, our own: hours, people, who knows what, the first-week checklist, tool licenses, and new modules keep landing. The accounting system for invoices, corrections and collections. Google Sheets, Drive and Docs.

— Pirxey World · hours, people, money
06
2 tools · 582 pages · 135 recipes

Know

The company wiki: values, tone of voice, procedures, one folder per department with its own readers, strategic pages on a sealed floor with fewer readers. Plus Notion, on both counts: the archived pages, frozen but readable, and a live connection to what is still kept there.

— Pirxey World · 71 company-wide pages, 511 departmental, 135 recipes, autumn 2026
For a manager · six changes

Six things it changes for a manager.

Each card is one question from the map and what comes back, as we use it ourselves.

01
hours × invoices × plan

Drill-down

Why did this project lose margin in August? Every hour logged in PirxeyOS against every invoice from accounting against the plan in ClickUp and the change requests in Linear. Down to the week, the person, and the chat thread where the scope changed. Links, not opinions.

— Question two on the map · by hand: five apps and three people
02
the list, not the inbox

Speed

What needs my decision this morning? Two chats, two mailboxes, WhatsApp, every call from yesterday and today's calendar, read for you and sorted into decisions, people waiting on you, and risks. You read the list, not the inbox.

— Question one on the map · by hand: six apps, before the first coffee
03
recipes, not reminders

No repetitive work

Collections, the monthly hours billed to a customer, the survey report: written down once as a recipe, run every month the same way, checked by a person. The reminder sounds like us, because the tone is written down too.

— Questions four and eight on the map · a recipe is a task written down once
04
nobody rewrites the thread

Communication

What have we committed to this week? The shared chat, the call transcripts, the tasks and the mails, folded into one list of commitments and dates. Inside the company every message the assistant sends carries an AI marker, so nobody wonders who wrote it.

— Question seven on the map · the marker is a rule, not a courtesy
05
135 recipes · 7 of 77 added one

Inspiration

People leave recipes for each other: a morning briefing, a candidate screen, a quote in our voice. Most of the 135 came from the few who started it. Seven of the 77 who answered have added something; that is the number we want to move. The curious person in sales shows the curious one in delivery.

— Our monthly survey, Sep 2026 · who picks it up runs on curiosity, not job title
06
582 pages · one folder per department

Collective knowledge, out of silos

Knowledge stops living in heads and threads. Each department writes in its own folder with its own readers; strategic pages sit on a sealed floor with fewer. Solve something once, and the next morning every colleague with access to that folder gets the answer.

— Pirxey World · 71 company-wide pages, 511 departmental, autumn 2026
Case study

Five months in, the founder is third.

What we expected in May, what actually happened, and today's numbers, including one that changed who we think should own this project.

Evidence · three cards, each labeled

Our number, and two we borrowed.

Each card says what kind of source it is: our survey, an external study, an external case, our own brief, an internal note — and whether whoever published it sells something in this category. Own numbers are as of September 2026.

Mission control standing by

Want to see what a second brain could look like in your company? Start with one department.

We write custom software. Some pieces are ready-made. We join your team and work alongside it. For a second brain that means: one afternoon to list what your company already has written down, the logins to the three to five tools people use every day, one curious person, and one workflow for ninety days. We set it up with your team, on your own accounts. Free first conversation. No slide deck.
