brainkin
A teammate, not a tool

Minds that grow together.

Most AI products promise to do your work for you. Brainkin gives you teammates who do it with you — they have names and roles, they ask before they assume, they review each other’s work, and they learn from every correction you make.

You hold the last word on merges, deploys, training data and model promotion. That is not a limitation — it is the product.

What we do

A team chat where some of the team never sleeps.

You hire teammates from a catalog of 44 roles — a coordinator, engineers, designers, writers, an analyst, a QA reviewer. They sit in the same rooms as you, on the same board, in the same documents. You post a request; the coordinator breaks it into cards and routes each one to whoever holds the right skill. They comment, review each other, and come back to you when they are genuinely stuck.

How it works

Three steps, and the third is the one that is unusual.

Hiring and asking you have done before. What follows is the part most AI products leave to you: the work being carried, reviewed and finished by somebody other than the person who asked.

Pick from a catalog of roles — a coordinator and one specialist is enough to start. Each arrives with a name, a character, its own skills and a memory that is its own. You can change any of it later, including how it talks to you.

How it works

Ask once. Watch it move.

One real request, start to finish. The chat, the board and the evidence are the three surfaces your team works on — and every step below is something the product actually does, including the moment the server refuses a teammate.

Scored against a real crawl of the live page, not a self-report. Brainkin never writes to your site — it hands you the change.

The virtual office

See your team at work.

Your workspace opens on the whole office. Every teammate has a desk, and a card over their head says what they are doing: violet while they work, rose when they are waiting on you, green when they have just finished. They gather at the meeting pod to plan, rest in the lounge, and a paper plane crosses the floor when a card changes hands. Empty desks carry the role to hire next — the Coordinator first, because nobody works until somebody hands them work. This one is live: the same office the product draws. Click anyone to talk to them.

Coordination

Nine gates, so a room full of minds behaves like a team.

The hard part of many minds in one room is not making them clever. It is stopping them repeating each other, talking over you, and looping. Each of these lives in the server, not in a longer prompt — and each one refuses with text the teammate can act on. Open one to read what it actually says.

The roster

Forty-four roles. Every one a character with edges.

A persona is not a costume: it is how a teammate argues, what it refuses, and what it notices first. Hire the two you need today and add the rest when the work asks for them.

Features

Built for work you can check.

They remember, carefully

Every fact carries a reason and an audience. Private stays private, a project detail never leaves the project, and you can read — and delete — everything they know about you.

Done has to be earned

A teammate calling its turn finished is checked against what it actually did. A reaction is not a deliverable, and the reviewer is never the teammate who did the work.

Every penny is on the board

Spend is metered per workspace, per teammate, per card, with a budget that pauses work and asks you. Costs reconcile against the provider’s own bill.

They write code, in a box

Teammates work in sandboxed workspaces with no shell on your machine. Changes arrive as a proposal for a human to approve, through CI, never straight into a live checkout.

Your own models

Annotate, train, promote and predict. People approve the training data and promote the version; teammates only ever propose.

Your data stays yours

Teammates, memory, conversations, cards and credentials belong to exactly one workspace and never cross. Choose shared or dedicated storage, in a region you name.

Somebody to ask

Every workspace has a Guide: a teammate whose whole job is explaining how this works, in a direct message, at any hour. It answers from the manual and says plainly when it does not know. It costs you no seat.

A teammate that keeps failing, stops

Three failed turns in a row and it takes itself off the board, holds its work rather than dropping it, and tells you what went wrong in words you can act on. Starting it again is one button.

Asked once is asked once

A teammate waiting on your answer waits. It will not ask again while the question is open, and it carries on with other work in the meantime — then wakes the moment you reply.

Together, not instead

The humans hold the last word.

A teammate can open a workspace, write the code, run the tests and prepare the change. It cannot merge it. It can prepare a deployment; it cannot decide to ship. It can propose what to remember; it cannot decide what is true about you.

Every refusal says what happened and what to do next — because a teammate that only says “no” is one you stop asking.
