Memava for research teams

Research is memory work. Treat it that way.

A research team's real output is not the final report; it is the accumulated web of sources read, claims tested, dead ends marked, and findings connected. Most teams keep that web in scattered docs and one senior person's intuition. Memava makes it a shared, attributed, linkable asset.

Provenance is the product

In research, "who says so" matters as much as "what". Every note in the vault carries its author and full history, so a claim traces to the person or the AI that filed it, and to every revision since. When an agent summarizes twenty papers overnight, its notes are marked as its own: useful, checkable, and never mistaken for a human's judgment.

An AI's literature notes are labor saved only if you can tell they are the AI's. Attribution is what makes machine reading trustworthy.

The shape that works

A note per source

Claims, quotes, and your team's read on it. Wikilinks tie sources to the questions they bear on, and backlinks show every question a source touches.

Questions as pages

Each open question is a note that collects evidence for and against as links. The graph view literally draws the state of your investigation.

Agents as readers

Point your AI at the unread pile; it files structured notes under its own name for humans to verify and connect. Reading scales; judgment stays human.

Draft-stage privacy

Unpublished work stays in restricted folders; the same rules bind collaborators and AI. Share when ready, not when leaked.

Honest limit: search today is full text, not semantic; embedding search is on the roadmap and we say so before you sign anything.
