You decided something six months ago. The decision survived; the reasoning didn't. Familiar reconstructs it from GitHub, Slack and your own scribbles — what was chosen, what was rejected, and why — and answers with citations.
Made in a meeting, half-noted in a thread, shipped in a PR — and by next quarter nobody can reconstruct why.
Every answer names the alternatives that lost, and cites where it came from.
Interactive preview with sample data.
The rejected alternative is almost never written down — so there's no passage to retrieve. It has to be reconstructed from evidence, then confirmed by a human.
Every year more of your team's reasoning happens inside a chat window that forgets it. The code ships. The why doesn't.
Free, and it stays free. Capture a half-formed thought at 11pm — typed or spoken. Weeks later, when the PR lands, Familiar links the seed to the decision it became. Ask what you decided this quarter, and why, with sources.
Past roughly fifteen people the team layer becomes the product. Promote a decision and it becomes institutional memory — cited back to the PR and thread it came from. New hires stop asking you. Settled debates stay settled.
Anyone can list what you did. Because we store decisions with their alternatives and outcomes, we can show you the patterns underneath them.
We're onboarding a small group of engineering teams as founding design partners. You'll shape what gets built.
We'll be in touch as partner slots open — usually within a week.
GitHub and Slack at launch, plus direct capture — typed notes and voice. Meetings, Gmail and AI-chat history import come after. We'd rather do two sources well than six badly.
You control every source you connect, and permissions are checked before an answer is generated, not after. Personal memory and team memory stay separate — only what you promote crosses between them. Nothing becomes permanent memory without a person confirming it.
No. Search finds documents; Familiar reconstructs reasoning. It links a decision to the alternatives that were rejected, the constraints that shaped it, who made the call, and what happened afterward — then cites all of it.
It's the hardest part of the product and we're honest about it: extracting a decision and its rejected alternatives from a messy PR thread is an inference problem, not a lookup. That's why a human confirms before anything becomes permanent memory. Design partners see the raw evidence behind every proposed decision.
Free for founding design partners through the beta, then partner pricing at launch. We'll agree pricing with you before anything changes.

Every AI starts from zero.
Familiar is the memory that means it never has to — first what you decided, eventually how you think.
