#Announcing Basic Memory Teams

Basic Memory Teams is here.

And boy are our fingers tired.

With this launch, you can share a common knowledge base with your colleagues, friends, agents, and collaborators without spending a penny more.

From the beginning, we’ve dreamed of a Basic Memory that is fully collaborative, not just between you and your AI, but with anyone you want to be able to contribute, read, or edit the context you’re sharing together.

As the release date has drawn near, we’ve talked a lot about where Teams fits into our product lineup. Who is our ICP? Is it its own product, an add-on, a B2B exclusive? Finally, we decided that it’s none of those things.

It’s for everyone!

So every Basic Memory Cloud user can invite any other member to share a knowledge base—or “memory layer” or “memory bank” or “truth layer.”

If you’ve been using the V2 web app, you’ve already seen the new way your notes are organized. Your projects, folders, and notes are now navigable via the left menu bar. Now, along with your personal projects, you can create fully independent Teams projects and folders with anyone you choose.

We’ve been dogfooding it for weeks, and it’s been truly incredible.

One thing we’ve learned over the past year and a half is that a lot of the time we’re all looking for a piece of information another of our teammates has.

Hey, did Drew finish that Teams post? I want to pull a quote for the newsletter.

I think so? He sent me a draft on Tuesday but I have no idea if it’s the latest.

Isn’t he at that silent retreat in Thailand?

Until next Wednesday.

It’s exactly the kind of thing that stops all progress in its tracks and gives everyone another excuse to just open a YouTube tab or reach for their phone.

Thanks to Teams, it doesn’t have to.

Our users have given us lots of insight into the ways they would use a shared workspace. From the Dungeon Master who wanted to share character sheets with his players to the person who uses Basic Memory with her staff to coordinate sales calls, from first contact to closing deals. Or, more excitingly to many of our users, as a “shared memory substrate” for a swarm of agents. Until now, that kind of collaboration required some pretty creative workarounds. Now, it’s as easy as clicking on your shared projects or asking your AI to read or add to them.

What you can actually do

A few things worth knowing about how it works.

Edit notes together in real time. Two of you in the same doc, typing at the same time, with avatars in the header showing who’s where. No more emailing drafts back and forth or pinging each other to ask who’s got the latest version. Underneath, the file is still plain Markdown sitting in your knowledge graph, exactly like the rest of Basic Memory.

You decide who sees what. Head to Settings → Teams and you can invite people as Admins, Editors, or Viewers. Some projects you’ll want open to the whole team—the shared research, the running list of customer interviews, the company handbook. Others you’ll want tighter—hiring conversations, contracts, half-baked ideas you’re not ready to show off yet. You set it per project.

Every save is a version. If a teammate accidentally pastes over your morning’s work, or your AI gets a little too enthusiastic with an edit, file history has your back. Open it up, find the version you want, pull back what you need. Nothing is ever actually gone.

An Activity feed that catches you up fast. The Activity menu shows everything happening across your workspace—who edited what, when, including your AI agents. Step away for a long lunch and catch up in thirty seconds when you get back.

The part we’re most excited about

Here’s the thing that makes Teams different from any other shared workspace: when your team shares a knowledge graph, your AI assistants share it too.

Ask Claude about last quarter’s pricing discussion and it can pull from the actual meeting notes your colleague took, the follow-up doc your PM wrote, the decision your founder made in a Slack thread someone bothered to save. It’s not just your knowledge. It’s everything the team knows.

Try it

If you’re already a Basic Memory Cloud user, watch for the popup in your left sidebar—one click switches you on. If you’re not, start here. The team docs walk through invitations, roles, and what the first day looks like for someone you’ve just added.

Now go invite someone.
