Memory is the only org asset that compounds.

Most AI tools forget the moment the session ends. TheCabinet doesn't — and the difference is structural.

Memory in TheCabinet is organized as a hierarchy, not a list. Your founding context — mission, company stage, known constraints, prior decisions — lives at the root. Every secretary inherits that root before acting. Finance doesn't have to be told what you're building. Marketing doesn't need to re-read the pitch deck. The company's direction flows downward; work surfaces upward.

This is not summarization. It is structured context inheritance. Each layer knows what the layer above it knows, and each secretary layer holds its own additional working memory on top. Nothing drifts. Nothing requires re-briefing.

The founder shouldn't have to repeat themselves. Ever.

Each secretary maintains its own long-running working memory across sessions — separate from the others, additive over time.

When your Finance Secretary models a runway scenario, it doesn't reload assumptions from scratch next session. It picks up the burn rate you locked in, the scenarios you discarded, the investor questions it already anticipated. When your Marketing Secretary drafts outbound, it draws on every positioning conversation you've had — not just the last one.

Operations remembers vendor relationships and execution loops. Intelligence remembers which signals you've already seen and what you chose to act on. Memory compounds in the same way institutional knowledge does — except here, it never walks out the door.

Upload a pitch deck today. It becomes context for every interaction from here on — organized, indexed, and accessible only to those you authorize.

TheCabinet maintains a living knowledge base of every document, decision, and signal you've fed it. Files are organized in folders — each one indexed, versioned, and made accessible to the right secretary at the right time. Private files sit behind admin authentication and never surface to unauthenticated requests. Shareable assets can be promoted to a public store and surfaced as permanent links.

The two stores are independent by design. A file in the private store cannot be accessed through the public path, and vice versa. Promoting a file from private to public is a deliberate action — not a default. You remain in control of what the Cabinet can share on your behalf.

A wiki that knows what it knows — and knows what it doesn't.

You always know what your Cabinet has read, when it read it, and what it produced as a result.

Every time a secretary reads a file or loads a memory thread, that access is logged. You can trace the provenance of any recommendation — which document informed which output, which signal prompted which draft. If a secretary produces a runway model, you can audit exactly which version of the financial projections it drew from.

This transparency is non-negotiable. The Cabinet cannot reason from something you haven't given it. It cannot quietly use a document you've removed from its access. Revoke access to a file, and it is removed from active context on the next session. The audit trail is yours — exportable, readable, and permanent.

Some files should never leave your hard drive. TheCabinet reads them where they live.

Connect TheCabinet's desktop companion and it can read contracts, spreadsheets, cap tables, and board decks directly from your local file system — without uploading them to any server. The reasoning happens in-session; the document stays local. You get the intelligence without the exposure.

This is not a workaround. It is an architectural decision. We believe founders should never have to choose between using their most sensitive documents and protecting them. Desktop sync closes that trade-off permanently.

Intelligence without exposure. That's the only acceptable trade.
