Manex

What is Manex?

Manex is a private AI memory workspace designed for document-heavy teams. It turns private documents, grounded answers, saved corrections, and team decisions into reusable memory so teams don’t have to re-solve the same high-context questions repeatedly.

The product emphasizes source-backed responses (answers grounded in documents and saved memory), local-first behavior for private content, and encrypted sharing when team memory is synchronized. It also includes setup support for teams that want help configuring their workflow.

Key Features

• Source-backed answers from documents and stored team memory: Manex answers using the documents it can cite rather than generating from a blank chat.
• Reusable memory for corrections and decisions: when an answer leads to a corrected interpretation or a policy update, Manex lets teams save that corrected outcome as memory for future questions.
• Local-first default storage: local/private documents, embeddings, and browser memory can stay in the browser by default.
• Encrypted shared team memory snapshots: when team memory is synced, snapshots are encrypted before sync.
• Team Brain with invite code for shared workspace: the workspace owner creates a Team Brain and invites members using a code to collaborate on shared memory.
• Supported document import via user-approved selection: the workflow imports selected files after searching candidate documents; original files aren’t bulk-crawled.
• Agentic connectors for file search by intent: Manex can search Google Drive and OneDrive for likely files (e.g., policies, checklists), show matches for approval, and import what the user selects.

How to Use Manex

1. Start a private document workspace and bring in documents (either by uploading files or connecting Drive/OneDrive). Choose which documents should be indexed for grounded answers.
2. Ask a question. Review the grounded evidence Manex uses (including cited team memory and document-derived chunks) and confirm the answer is aligned with the current interpretation.
3. Save corrected answers or decisions. If the response reflects a correction (for example, superseding an older draft policy) or a checklist/policy update, preserve it as reusable memory.
4. If your team needs shared memory, create a Team Brain and invite teammates with a code. Team shared memory is synchronized as encrypted snapshots.
5. When importing additional sources, search for the file by intent (policy, report, checklist) and approve only the selected documents for import.

Use Cases

• Updating and reusing policy interpretations: a team revises a “client notification” window and saves the corrected interpretation so future questions use the updated time window and attached evidence log.
• Capturing audit notes as reusable checklists: teams can chunk and embed audit notes, share them as evidence-backed memory, and ensure later answers follow the latest checklist rather than older drafts.
• Answering compliance questions with citations: when asked which policy applies to vendor incident reporting, Manex can produce an answer grounded in the team’s saved policy correction and current audit checklist.
• Preventing repeat work during onboarding: new team members can ask high-context questions and rely on saved decisions and corrections rather than re-reading scattered chats, emails, and files.
• Building a document-backed question workflow: teams can upload or connect storage, ask questions grounded in indexed documents, and save the best answers, corrections, and decisions for future reuse.

FAQ

• Is Manex local-first or does it sync everything? Manex uses a local-first default where private documents, embeddings, and browser memory can stay in the browser. When shared team memory snapshots are synced, they are encrypted before sync.

• How does Manex bring documents in from Drive or OneDrive? Manex can search connected storage for likely files, show matches for approval, and import only the selected files. It also uses read-only Drive access to search names and indexed file text.

• Does Manex bulk-crawl connected sources? Connected sources are not bulk-crawled; the user reviews candidate files first and selects which documents to import.

• What’s a Team Brain? A Team Brain is created by the workspace owner to enable shared memory. Members are invited with a code and can collaborate using the shared workspace.

• What kinds of content can be saved as memory? Manex saves corrected answers, decisions, and evidence-backed information so future questions can reuse that context. It also includes indexed documents, derived chunks, and embeddings as part of the grounded workflow.

Alternatives

• General-purpose enterprise knowledge bases: internal wiki/wiki-like systems can store documents and decisions, but they typically don’t provide the same workflow for grounding answers in documents and saving corrected outputs as reusable memory.
• Team chat search plus link-based retrieval: tools that search chat history can reduce “lost answers,” but corrections often remain tied to the original conversation rather than becoming a reusable decision/memory object.
• Document ingestion and retrieval systems (RAG-style): systems that index documents and retrieve relevant passages can support grounded responses, but Manex’s emphasis on local-first behavior, encrypted shared snapshots, and saving corrected answers as team memory differentiates the workflow.
• Conventional document management with templates/checklists: maintaining templates can standardize work, but it usually requires manual updates and doesn’t automatically tie updated policy interpretations to grounded, saved answers for future questions.
