Knowledge Your People and Your Agents Can Use

VanillaBrain is a deep, curated knowledge base around cloud-native and AI technologies and approaches, and it is a living second brain: what your organization works on flows back in and becomes queryable knowledge. Your people learn from it and research in it. Your AI agents consume the same knowledge through an agent-accessible interface, governed by rules and permissions.

VanillaBrain: practice and curated ecosystem knowledge, delivered to your people and your agents

Three streams feed it. The first is more than 25 years of practice: delivered trainings, published articles, video workshops, and real projects. The second is continuously curated ecosystem knowledge: best practices, documentation, and standards around Kubernetes, Cloud Fundamentals, OpenStack, Operations, and AI. The third is your own organization: documents, meeting transcripts, plans, spreadsheets, development work, and operational events, ingested continuously. The curated knowledge works standalone. Combined with your own stream, VanillaBrain changes how your organization operates.

What Is Inside

  • Structured learning paths from concepts to production readiness
  • Video workshops and in-depth articles, continuously extended
  • Curated fundamentals: the knowledge our own consultants and trainings build on
  • Curated ecosystem knowledge: best practices, documentation, and standards, kept current
  • Your own knowledge stream: documents, transcripts, and operational events, continuously ingested
  • Agent access: the same content, consumable by your AI agents
  • Regular consultancy sessions with us, included in the subscription

A Living Second Brain

VanillaBrain is not a folder you upload documents into. Incoming information is analyzed and vectorized, stored in separate data stores, and kept as long-term and short-term memories: a database layer for durable knowledge, a markdown layer for short-term memory. Continuous processes ingest new information, refresh existing knowledge, and invalidate what has become outdated.

Access follows rules, origin, and permissions. Every piece of knowledge can be retrieved, researched, queried, and used by humans and AI agents alike. The same engine powers the second brains we build in AI Enablement. VanillaBrain adds the maintained foundation: knowledge for operations teams and technology audiences that we create, update, and extend continuously.

How It Works

VanillaBrain is available on demand, as a subscription. Teams get accounts and learning paths. Agents get access through a defined interface. Subscriptions include regular consultancy sessions, so the knowledge connects to your actual situation.

Part of a Bigger Picture

VanillaBrain and our AI Enablement work are different things that add to each other. Enablement builds your organization’s own AI capability. VanillaBrain gives your people and your agents curated expert knowledge to draw from. Each stands on its own, and combined with VanillaAI they cover the whole path from knowing to running.

The Vanilla family: VanillaBrain feeds your team and VanillaAI, which runs on VanillaStack
