AGENTS

Give research agents memory you can inspect.

A research result is more useful when the next agent can see the evidence, not only the final answer.

The problem

Agent research often produces good work that disappears into a conversation.

What goes in the repository

  • Questions
  • Sources
  • Extracted evidence
  • Findings
  • Contradictions
  • Synthesis
  • Follow-up work

Why an open repository helps

Inspectable files let the next run start from evidence instead of from a summary of a summary.

How Okide helps

Okide keeps questions, sources and synthesis in the open, so a research agent’s memory is a repository you can read.

Humans and agents, same files

New agent runs can begin with what has already been learned and contribute changes as inspectable files.

OPEN BY DEFAULT

Keep the repository. Change the tools around it.

If you cannot open the evidence, you do not really have the research. Okide helps you work with the repository without turning it into an Okide-only format.
