AI Coding Tip 028 - Build a Company Brain
Short summary
A guide to building a 'Company Brain' — an AI skill that connects to every knowledge system (Confluence, Slack, Jira, Salesforce) via MCP servers instead of custom integrations. The approach enforces per-user access control, citation with source URLs and freshness dates, and logs unanswered queries for human follow-up. It addresses the problem of fragmented company knowledge that individual Second Brains can't solve.
- •Connect company knowledge sources through MCP servers instead of per-tool custom integrations
- •Force every AI answer to carry a citation with source URL, system name, and last-modified date
- •Pass requester identity tokens through connectors to preserve existing permission boundaries
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
