    You are the company’s memory. Get one of your own.

    Iwo Szapar’s AI Second Brain gives your existing AI a private memory of the whole operating rhythm: every decision, owner, board ask, and promise your principal made, on your own computer. Staff packs, briefs, and follow-ups start assembled instead of from scratch.

    Three jobs off your plate by Monday.

    The assembly work of the role, running on your own history.

    01

    Agenda, open action items, stalled threads, and decisions pending sign-off, assembled from last week’s filings before you sit down.

    What this actually is

    Not another AI.
    Memory for the one you have.

    You keep your AI and your subscription. The Second Brain is the private memory it reads before answering, and writes back to after.

    Without memory
    You: Assemble Monday’s staff pack.

    I’d be glad to help you put together a meeting pack. Could you share the agenda items, any open action items from last week, and the updates you’d like included?

    With your Second Brain
    You: Assemble Monday’s staff pack.

    Pack assembled from last week’s filings: 4 open action items (2 stalled: legal review at 6 days, pricing memo with Finance), EMEA pricing still pending CFO sign-off, 2 of 7 board asks at risk before Friday. Agenda drafted with stalled work first, in your format. Pre-reads attached per owner.

    Reads exec-team/: decisions.md, action-items.md, board/asks.md

    Asked before buying

    What chiefs of staff ask before buying.

    What is an AI second brain for a chief of staff?
    A private memory of the exec team's decisions, board asks and open threads, on your own machine. Staff packs and briefs assemble from it, follow-ups get chased, and the context you currently hold in your head has somewhere to live. One-time purchase.
    Board material can’t sit in a chat tool.
    Correct, and it doesn’t. The memory is a repo on your machine, or your company’s own private cloud if you choose. Nothing is shared with us or anyone, and nothing trains a model. This setup exists because cloud chat tools fail exactly this test.
    We already have Notion, Asana, and a wiki.
    Those store what teams remember to write down. They don’t assemble the Monday pack, chase the stalled items, or answer “what did we decide and why” with the date and the doc. This is the layer that does: it reads what you already keep.
    Institutional memory is literally my job.
    The remembering was never the job. The judgment is. You stay the person who decides what matters and what moves. The system takes the recall, the chasing, and the 11 PM assembly work that was crowding the judgment out.
    I don’t have a free weekend to set this up.
    Accelerator is built for exactly that: a 15-minute questionnaire, and the system arrives configured in 24-48 hours. Cadence, folders, and commands named after your actual operation. Starter exists if you want to read everything first.
    I already purchased Second Brain. What's new in 2.0 and do I need to upgrade?
    2.0 is a structural rebuild. The AI agent reads your questionnaire and configures everything for you (no manual setup). The system now prunes stale knowledge automatically so it sharpens over time, and health monitoring flags when things drift before you notice. Your existing setup is a valid foundation and transfers directly. Email hello@iwoszapar.com to discuss upgrade options.
    I'm not technical. Can I use this?
    54% of our clients had never opened a terminal before. 58% are in non-technical roles. The setup is guided step-by-step, and the Accelerator option means our AI configures everything from your questionnaire answers. You don't need to write code.
    How is this different from ChatGPT Memory or Projects?
    ChatGPT Memory stores random facts. This engineers your entire work context — voice patterns, client history, decision frameworks, connected tools. It's the difference between AI that 'remembers your name' and AI that 'knows your business and runs your operations.'
    What if AI models change? Will my system break?
    Your context, skills, and workflows live in files and a database you control. Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT Work, Claude, Gemini, and local agents can use that core through their own setup. Client-specific hooks and plugins need their matching adapter.
    What do I need to get started?
    A computer and an AI surface you want to use. Claude Code, Codex, and local agents run the full workspace setup. Chat and desktop surfaces use the connections and workflows available to them. The guided process configures the right starting point.
    What's the difference between Starter, Accelerator, and Launch Partner?
    Starter ($197): a personalized workspace, set up by you, with no support. MemoryOS available separately. Accelerator ($597): an AI agent configures your system from your questionnaire answers, plus async support and the first year of MemoryOS Pro. Launch Partner ($2,497): a 2-hour onboarding call, full infrastructure deployment, and 12 months of MemoryOS.
    Is there a money-back guarantee?
    Yes. 7-day unconditional money-back guarantee on all packages. If it doesn't work for you, email us and we refund — no questions asked.
    Wherever you are

    Your existing tools. No extra layer.

    The same memory at your desk before staff meeting, on your laptop in the boardroom, and on your phone between back-to-backs.

    Your AI, as you already use it

    Claude Code and Codex, desktop app or CLI, and on your phone through the apps already on it. Nothing new to learn, no new tab to live in.

    No new monthly bill

    It runs on the AI plan you already pay for. The system itself is a one-time purchase. Nobody wants subscription #14.

    No lock-in, ever

    Plain files and a local database on your machine. Stop paying nothing, lose nothing: it keeps working forever, and you can walk away with everything.

    Battle-tested

    100+ professionals run it in daily work, most of them non-technical. Six months of the creator’s own client work ships through it.

    Point-tool competitors are another login, another subscription, another silo. This is neither another, nor either.
    After you buy

    Made yours, while you sleep.

    Nobody gets a template. The questionnaire feeds a setup agent that researches your world and configures a system that is yours alone.

    01
    15 minutes of questions

    Your clients, your tools, your writing samples, the shape of your week. Plain English, no technical questions.

    02
    An agent researches and builds yours

    Configured uniquely for you on the current frontier models. No two repos come out alike. It runs overnight: Iwo does not need to be awake for your brain to get built.

    03
    Delivered in 24–48 hours

    Folders named after your real clients, your voice rules, your commands. You open it and it already knows you.

    04
    Working in ~30 minutes

    Your first session is a real briefing, not setup. 48-hour async support and a 7-day money-back guarantee stand behind it.
